I have a Samba share that I've created from a Linux box. I've mapped this sucessfully to drive in Windows 2003 server. I'm also able to read/write to it under Windows explorer just fine. It's using user security so I have to enter the username and password defined in the Linux box when connecting to this share. I then mapped a virtual directory under IIS to the UNC name of this

My apologies if this is an off-topic WINE question... I have 5 Wintel machines that all UNC map over to my Ubuntu server (\\Ubuntu\M-Music\) for my MediaMonkey application. I use SAMBA for network sharing and it works perfectly. I am trying to configure WINE to have the same UNC mapping structure on my Linux machine (eg. \Ubuntu\M-Music\) so I can share a common SQLite database throughout the

I'm using rsync and cygwin to do some backups from Windows machines. I have been doing something along these lines: c:\cygwin\bin\rsync -aR -e c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after --verbose --ignore-errors --exclude-from=/cygdrive/c/offsitebackup/excludes.txt /cygdrive/c/ root@remotehost This all worked well until I had to do backups of several mapped drives

we're using Samba 3.0.10 on a Mac OS X server (XServe), and are accessing files on the XServe from Windows Server 2003. for the specific situation of creating thumbnails of images, i'm seeing a huge perf difference between accessing the same file via mapped drive vs. UNC path. if we map the Z: drive to \\usseast01\assetstorage (Z:\foo.tif), and create a thumbnail of a 1.5MB TIFF file,

I have some documents pdfs UNC in a resource-type \\server\folder$\, to whom it would log in to download from the application in Rails. The server is different from where the application is housed. Is it possible to gain access to these documents from Rails? Or, only is possible to access to documents inside the program folder?. Thanks in advance Fernando González Macías

3.0.25rc1 has the same issue.

I ran into a situation where partial UNC support would be helpful and easy. Visual Sourcesafe runs well under Wine if I map \\vssServer\vssDir to a drive letter. Unfortunately, our administrator has the line journal_file = \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt in the sourcesafe config file. This causes an error dialog box "Bad DOS filename \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt". If Wine handled UNC

Have a perplexing problem here... If you UNC to the IP the shares show up fine, if you UNC to the DNS name when I go into the shares they seem to be pointed to /tmp. Also the printer isn't visible when you use UNC to DNS name. Since I'm using server based security is it possible it can't indentify me?

Hi, Not a Samba question specifically, so please forgive me, but somewhat related... I am trying to automate some tasks in a secure environment (restricted ipsec vpn). Running Windows 2000 (and XP, etc), I would like to be able to access a Samba server using the UNC, but specify a username/password combination as well. You know, in Windows Explorer it allows you to "Connect using a

Good afternoon, We have a program that we run on a customer's machine. This program will essentially run a bash script stored on a network server via samba. During the execution of this script it runs a variety of Cygwin programs over the wire. Normally, during our tests and on a variety of other machines the commands it runs locally are executed very quickly. However, we have found a few

Hi! Is there any way for the "HOMES" share to be mapped to \\server\whatever\%USERNAME% instead of \\server\%USERNAME% . I think that DFS still don't work fine for linux CIFS mounting. So, if I could do this kind of mapping, this would let me give users now the final UNCs and introduce DFS in a future time (when DFS mounting will be fully supported) without having to disturb

hello folks, i'm running 3.0.23b and i've noticed something that has changed. before, i could give my users (on xp) links to the printers via \\servername\printername these days, clicking on such links would result in an error message about how they might not have permissions to use the resource, ending with Incorrect function. however, if i ask them to connect to the server via

For those having problems with Vista, and unc paths showing up empty, I can confirm that: [global] host msdfs = no fixes the problem. This is on 3.0.24 with all patches. Note that I am not using Dfs root shares or the like. YMMV Hope this helps someone. Cheers! -- Richard Potter

Recently switched main samba servers and turned up a problem CUPS printers are all published and can be connected to by browsing the server, but if, as I was used to doing, you connect by entering the UNC of the printer directly in the run dialog in windows. you get "\\server\printershare is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the

Further. What's a concise way to describe this problem. It must have been encountered before. I usually google all of my issues and find answers that way.

Hi, Microsoft some time ago introduced Hardened UNC Paths, and in April published the Badlock security fixes, which seem to be related to that. Samba at the same time published versions 4.4.1 (and 4.4.2). Even after reading the release notes of Samba 4.4.1 several times, I still do not know whether I must manually adjust smb.conf to be protected from these vulnerabilities. What I do know is

We're using rsync 2.5.6 version 26. Want to synch two W2K directories which are not on my machine (machine1 synchs machine2 -> machine3) I would like to synch the 2 direcories with the following syntax: rsync.exe -rva //remote_server1/share$/dir1/default.asp remote_server2::dir2/ When I try this it seems to work: building file list ... 1 file to consider send_files failed to open

Hi, I am experiencing performance issues when using samba as an application server for starting exe files from my Windows XP machine. I have a shortcut on my desktop that links to an executable via UNC path. Startin the link takes up to 15 seconds, the second time it's a lot faster. After starting the application and I wait for some time it seems like my session needs to reconnect or
