I have a 2Win2k, 1Linux (server) LAN; the server is running FC3 and Samba 3.0.14a. I am unable to get both users access to their individual shares. Essentially, I'm working through the Accounting Office example (pgs 31-35) of John Terpstra's 2004 Samba-3 By Example, and I'm doing something foolish and wrong on a basic level. I can get access to, and manipulate the files in, my

Further on this. I just ran an ethereal trace on an attempt to ping lserver1 from lserver1, and it appears that my DNS isn't staying local at all, but I have no idea what's gone wrong (other than my /etc/resolv.conf file). The trace (I'd include the relevant parts, but I can't get it to save anything in textual form) had lserver1.test.biz going out through the

Hi, I've had a stable Samba-run LAN, with some active shares, for several months, with my PC and laptop also gaining access to the Internet through the Samba server. However, this morning, when I booted up my Samba server, I had no LAN--neither my PC nor my laptop could connect to any share. However, both still had access to the Internet. I confirmed that smb, named, winbindd, et al.,

Hi, I am having the same problem. Did you figure out how to do this? Any help in how to remove stale WINS entries from Samba would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, -farshad

I've still not quite got things right. I'm running FC3 with Samba v 3.0.14a, and I'm trying to implement Example 2.4 from JHT's 2004 ed. of Samba-3 by Example. I have lserver1 as my Linux box and jupiter (user annlee) and mustelidae (ehines) as Win2k boxes. ehines has access to his share (path /archive/ehines (/archive/%U in smb.conf)), but annlee does not to her share

I'm at my wit's end on this, and I hope someone can help. I'm running SUSE Pro 9.3 with Samba 3.0.13, and I can't get connected to my shares properly. Valid users (e.g., for [accounts]) is set to %G, and I've confirmed that the users are members of the owning groups for the shares and that they are in the passwd and smbpasswd files with the same passwords as on the Win2k

OK, I've got this one working, but only by enumerating the valid users in the "files" share--%S wouldn't work in the valid users field (e.g., "smbclient //<servername>/files" would simply give an NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED error). This would be OK for a small LAN, but for small enterprises or LANs with 75-100 users, as some on this list have mentioned, that

If I add annlee as a valid user

I've set the path for each user in pdbedit and created a login script with drive mapping etc etc The network drives aren't being mapped when I login each user: smb.conf [global] printcap name = cups cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User # include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile

Folks, This is a strange problem, and I'm not sure this is the right place for it, so feel free point me to a better location. I'm running FC3 and Samba 3.0.14a. The problem is this: when I boot up my Linux box, and it gets to the point of turning on my NIC (eth0), where the PC used to turn it right on and continue, now there's an inordinately long delay in getting eth0 to

Folks, I'm trying to add a network interface card to my SUSE 9.3 box, and I'm not having much luck with a US Robotics version. What manufacturer do any of you use in your machines--either 10/100MB or GigE NIC?

Hi, ntsysv doesn't list the samba daemons (smbd, nmbd), and while I could use chkconfig, it appears, to add the daemons, I'd rather do this via the rcx.d links so I can understand what's going on.

Actually, my problem turns out to be even more basic and foolish than that. I assumed that since the relevant Kill files were present in the ls listing, then the Start files would be, too. Nope. I had to make those soft links; when I did, everything worked properly. Eric Hines -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Paul Gienger <pgienger@ae-solutions.com> <snip> Date: Sun, 27

Dumb question time; I can't find the answer in the Samba-3 or HOWTO docs: how do you add users to the passdb.tdb (tdbsam's db)? Is pdbedit the only way? I ask because the Chapt 3 Samba-3 example has passdb = tdbsam in the samba config file, but the instructions for adding users are to use useradd and smbpasswd, which leave passdb.tdb empty (except for root--I have no idea how that

Greetings, Running FC3, kernel 2.6.9-1.667.i686, Samba v 3.0.11. I have been able to guts up Samba by adding a procedure to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, but I can't get the system to start from the /etc/rc.d/rcx.d directories. I have an smb script in /etc/rc.d/init.d that is soft-linked from the rcx.d directories, and that runs just fine when I invoke it from the command line, but apparently the

Folks, I'm running a Samba server (SUSE 9.3 and Samba 3.0.22pre1) on a 2-subnet LAN, with a Win2k PC on one subnet and an XP laptop on the other. When I boot up the server and then the two windows devices at the start of a day, everything comes up just fine, the server appears in Network Neighborhood and in Explorer, and I have access to my shares normally. However, my problem is this:

I'm running SUSE 9.3 with Samba 3.0.21a, but I can't connect to some shares, even though I can connect to others just fine. I get into my home share, netlogon share, printer shares, etc, but three shares all get me the same answer in response to <smbclient -L //server/share>: I get back an NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME error. All users are correctly in passdb, passwd, etc. I have
