We have a new server running Red Hat 5.2EL. Windows machines can samba to the linux server with no problems, including symbolic links to the www directory. Our Mac OS 10.5.5 machines have a problem with symbolic links to the www directory. On the Mac computers, the symbolic links show up as an alias that cannot be followed. These same MAC computers can samba to the www directory via a symbolic

Hello, I am trying to compile the latest samba 3.0.23c on MAC Intel OS X 10.4.8 and I am getting errors with the krb5 stuff. I have searched the net and found other people with the same error but didn't see any solution. Has anyone successfully compiled it on 10.4.8 Intel? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am new to the mac platform but have lots of linux experience. The

I am having problems with Samba on IRIX 6.5 authenticating via Active Directory. Installing the tardist of 3.0.21c did not give me kerberos/ldap/adc capabilities even though Kerberos and LDAP were prereq's. With OpenLDAP and Kerberos5 installed, my configure fails. I am trying this: ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include --prefix=/usr/samba --with-ldap --with-ads

I'm running samba 3.0.23c on aix 5.3 TL4. I'm using Tivoli HSM 5.3.4.0 on a JFS2 filesystem. Samba compiled fine, and I set "dmapi support = yes" in smb.conf, but samba wouldn't recognize offline files ("migrated files" in tsm terminology). After setting a higher log level I think I've tracked down the problem. The patch is at the bottom of this email.

Thanks for the patch, unfortunately when I installed it I had a lot more files missing from the directory listing and I have not taken much time to look at why. But it certainly is the cast that off_t on the IRIX box is 8 bytes in the current OS, however the compilers seem to convert the long values properly so long as overflow does not occur. Thanks to your suggestion on looking at the

I had an incredibly hard time finding any documentation on filesystem size limits for samba on 64bit linux with 2.6 kernel exporting to 32bit windows 2003 and windows-xp by googling. The closest I could get to was that cifs filesystem size correlates to ntfs filesystem size and therefore there would be a 64TB limit. Are there additional limits within the software stack that I should be aware of?

Hi list, I'm using Samba 3.0.21 on a FC4 box. When copying files using smbclient I get huge speed differences between put and get commands. smb: \> put backup.tar putting file backup.tar as \backup.tar (543.0 kb/s) (average 543.0 kb/s) smb: \> get backup.tar getting file \backup.tar of size 31549440 as backup.tar (7681.4 kb/s) (average 7681.4 kb/s) smb: \> put backup.tar

dear list. I was just wondering, is there anyone here using sles9 with xfs in an lvm? We had severe filesystem corruption on a server today, and only two things were changed: I updated via yast online update (lot's of updates, strange enough, including an lvm update) and I had to replace a drive in my hardware 6 disk raid array. (IBM 5i, raid 5) Now I was wondering what caused the

Hello. I am trying to set up SAMBA 3.x on FC4. SAMBA will be PDC with no other server. I work at a K-12 school, so unless I want 20 episodes of "Family Guy" in a student's folder, I need to set quotas. I've been looking around for 2 days and I'm stumped. I found something called smbcquotas, but it seems to apply to a mixed NT server environment. I heard rumors of configure

As the group knows, I'm having compatibility issues with a critical database application. It's been wisely suggested that I monitor the line to see what's up. Problem is: I've never done this before & suspect others like me are not familiar with these techniques. I did find an old LinuxWorld article http://tinyurl.com/yrjurx however I help thinking there is more on the top.

I have an OS X 10.4 Server machine that has abysmal performance when copying files to it over smbmount from a linux machine or through Finder on OS X but performs very well when copying files through smbclient from the same Linux and OS X machines. I have already tried the commonly suggested adjustment of net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0 and have not noticed a significant performance improvement.

Hi, We have a os x server here with duplicate groupmappings unfortunately the net groupmap functions are broken due to apple modifications. Can I manually delete the groupmapping from the database? I assumed the group mappings were stored in ldap but can't find any reference there. The group_mapping tdb also seems empty so asides rom looking at the source I am at a loss. Many thanks Paddy

Is OSX 10.4.10 compatible with Samba's print server software? My I.T. Dept has had no luck in getting this to work. From what I've seen online, there does seem to be issues, but Samba also seems to be fully supported by Apple which doesn't make sense if it's not compatible. Thanks Kevin

Hello all... I have a question that is outside the realm of my experience but that has come up several times recently. I have a mixed network (some Macs, some PCs) that needs a server. I'm going through the standard process of deciding between Samba and a Windows domain controller, my strong preference being to install Linux/Samba server. The sticking point seems to be that the Mac users

Dear List, I wonder if somebody has a correctly working SMB service in Mac OS X Server 10.5.x. I've got here lots of "This process has forked.." and "Broken Pipe" errors as described in this post: http://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=22295 Would be nice if a Samba-guru could point us to the right direction. Thanks, Alex

Hi all, We are sharing directories from Windows 2003 server to, among other things, Mac computers. Most of the time the windows shares work perfectly. However we are running into a problem with users entering odd characters into file names on the Mac clients. The Mac clients see these files/folders perfectly fine, as samba on the Mac allows for these odd characters. However, if someone tries

Hi, my Problem: I tried to limit the disk usage for certain samba users by means of group quotas. But when looking at the disk free space from the client the quota is not honoured. So I wrote a little script trying to find out the quota left using the "dfree command" setting. So far everything is fine, but now, as soon as the script is called (I placed some debug output

Hi, I'm new to the list (and samba). It's a great technology and I look forward to learning more about it. I have an OS X Server that utilizes the built-in Samba to allow for Windows client connectivity. The OSXS gets the majority of its users from an LDAP server elsewhere on the campus. On OSXS, it's expected that the Windows users will be local or that the server will be a
