similar to: Dir ec* returns dir name starting with letters EA... come again!?

Subject pretty much askes it all. For those that run OS/2 eCS against Samba servers on a regular basis... looks like I might have to head back in that direction. I am trying to avoid NetBIOS which means the usual SrvIFS I would prefer to have go bye bye once and for all. I did get SrvIFS-IP from the "Beyond DHCP" RedBook yesterday, but is has memory corruption on the server daemon side

I happened to check if there are current Debian .deb packages for 3.0.20a at samba.org, only 3.0.14a in the directory. Will this be updated, or has there been a change in operations behind the scenes? Thanks! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/ Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.

Can you recommend a PHP accellerator that works with my CentOS 4.2 64-bit version? If it's possible, I'd like to find one that is actively updated. Thanks, Ron Jones Alpharetta, GA

We use MS DOS 7 ala Win98 SE and the M$ client for DOS to logon to Samba 3.0.13 Debian Stable package from samba.org. Also one other unique thing, we have XCOPY32.EXE copied as XCOPY.EXE thus it is really XCOPY32.EXE we are executing, just as XCOPY.EXE. ;-) Example of failing line of code... echo f|xcopy u:\foo\bar.txt h:\file.txt where U: is the drive mapped to the server and H: is a local RAM

Long day yesterday for us here, first production implementation of Samba has to be rolled out and the client's old network reinstalled... cause: this "access deneied" issue which seems to be randomly affecting Samba implementations and from what I can see folks say Samba 3.0.2 was the last good build. If that describes you, please test this as I have come up with a way to turn the

Is there a different group building the Debian packages which are at samba.org than debian.org? I see debian.org in unstable has rebuild the 3.0.6 three times now, samba.org is still showing an initial build. Also, the directory structure lables the deb files as "stable" but debian.org still has Samba 2.x in stable. This all is just "slightly" confusing. I am running the

Samba 3.0.5 Debian Package Kernel 2.6.7 custom compile on Debian Testing Configure Samba per my KLUG presentation on Samba PDC to Win2K Clients: ftp://ftp.lueckdatasystems.com/pub/presentations/klugsamba3pdc-bookreview.pdf In the error condition, a user account is assigned to the domadmin and ntadmin Linux groups. In smb.conf -> admin users = @domadmin On the workstation there are mappings

Typical Linux Distros add all sorts of Unix groups to users when it creates them, like cdrom, floppy, dialout, audio, etc... Logging in to the domain from Windows with an account that has such membership over on Linux... "ifmember.exe /list" shows all of those memberships. Why exactly? I would expect only the groups I did a "net groupmap" on would be considered by Samba.

I found the solution, or at least a work around, for my posting: "Can not grant SeMachineAccountPrivilege on Debian Etch" I ended up: 1) ssh to Debian Etch as root 2) smbpasswd -a root 3) issue the "net rpc rights grant ..." command SUCCESS!!! So, that raises the question that what MUST be executed as user root verses a member of ntgroup="Domain Admins"? I suspect

Greetings- Using Ubuntu 7.04 as the client OS, I am pondering how to automate a bit of "drive mappings" as I did previously with Windows. 1) What is the syntax to mount the user's home share? If possible I would like to variable'ize the username, or not even have to specify it at all. (Assume the user's Linux and Samba user names match.) 2) Suggestions / best practices of

Greetings- We utilize the smbpasswd text file back end. One machine (VM machine) suddenly thinks its entry in the Samba PDC's smbpasswd file is no longer correct. Is there a way to fetch that number back out of a Windows 2000 workstation and "paste" it into the smbpasswd file to re-trust the workstation? Thanks! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Greetings- Perhaps slightly OT, but still involving the SMB/CIFS protocol: I am searching for an application which would allow a Linux client (Ubuntu) to send/receive WinPopup messages. The only one I have located thus far is LinPopup. However, it depends on the Samba (server) package. I do not want to deploy a bazillion Samba servers! TIA! -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems

Greetings, 10 years ago, I utilized Samba official repositories for Debian Sarge to always run the latest Samba code while the Samba PDC support stabilized. I am not quite ready yet for the Active Directory world. Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 is the latest LTS (Long Term Support) version. It comes with Samba 4.x code. Is there a repository with packages regularly maintained for Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 of

The Ubuntu security updates this week have killed the ability to log on to the Samba NT4 style domain from back level Windows clients. Our configuration does not have any LDAP, we run with the smbpasswd passdb backend. Just very simple. Anyway, here is

Greetings, We migrated to new hardware our very first Samba PDC we built back in 2004 this past weekend. Now that Samba PDC is on its third set of hardware since being built. Bravo Samba team for all the hard work you do so our lives may be vastly simplified! The last server started out being loaded with Ubuntu 9.04, and we had upgraded it all the way to Ubuntu 16.04. Now this third set of

I am testing out Debian Etch, and ran into an issue granting SeMachineAccountPrivilege to an account... which granting that permission had been troublesome in the past. The command I am issuing is: net rpc rights grant LDS-DEMO\\ldsinst SeMachineAccountPrivilege And I try running the command with an account that is a member of the "Domain Admins" group. The command returns: Failed to

Greetings- I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to Samba PDC's. I mount several shares with this sort of syntax: /bin/mount -t cifs -o credentials=/home/userid/.smbcredentials,uid=userid,gid=userid,dmask=0777,fmask=0666 //ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/ However when I create new files/dirs on the Samba share from the Linux workstation, the perms are not 0666/0777

First off, on the Windows side I use "ifmember.exe /list" to check the group membership in affect for the currently logged in domain user, works like a charm. However, Linux side is another story, specifically the net command. We have, among others, the following mapping in place: net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins" unixgroup=domadmin Based on this documentation:

For several reasons we switched over to XFS, which is from what I have heard the favorite file system of the Samba project. Anyway, it has built-in backup / restore programs which I am trying to get working properly. No matter if I tell xfsdump to backup a directory which does or DOES NOT exist, it always complains that it does not exist. I just wondered if anyone ran into this error situation
