I?ve upgraded from Samba 2 to version 3, and am having some problems. I think they?re related to SIDs, which I?ve not really been aware of before! Currently I only have the Samba server which is acting as PDC for Win XP Pro machines. My smb.conf looks like: ------------------------------------------- [global] netbios name = scofp1 workgroup = SCODOMAIN server string = Samba

Hello folks: The introduction: Great product this Samba! The problem: I am trying to migrate an HP LaserJet 4 printer in our office off a VMS system and hang it directly off the back of a UNIX machine. I have created the new entry in the printcap (see below) file on that machine and can print from UNIX - no problem. I created the share in Samba with what I think works pretty well (see below).

Hi I hope someone can help We currently have Windows XP Professional PCs that logon to an old Novell Netware 3.12 server. We?re just using the standard Windows Netware client, and each user has a Windows XP User account and password that matches their Novell one. When they logon to Windows, they are automatically authenticated to Novell. However, we are now in the final stages of

I have a printer, using CUPS, run from linux (redhat 9) using Samba 3.0.22 to share it between some windows PCs. I wanted to remove the printer from one of the XP Home PCs, but the deletion process is apparently getting stuck. The printer status remains "deleting", but the printer never gets deleted. By chance is there some communication between XP and Samba that is hanging?

Hi. Samba 2.2.8. I have installed the drivers on the print$ share.

Hi, my problem is to access a shared printer with samba on my WindowsXP workstation When I browse thru my network with Explorer, I can see the shared printer.

We have recently implemented printing via SAMBA for our site. In most cases clients are able to double click on printers from a browse window and have the driver files automatically install. However in alot of other cases, the client computer 'decides' that it can't locate the files. In these instances we are advising users to manually type in \\SMBSERVER\PRINTER$\PRINTERNAME which

Hi. I've just installed Samba 2.2.8 (SuSE Linux 8.0). My clients are running Win2000 Pro. I'm struggeling with the printer setup.

Hi there, I'm learning Samba and I really appreciate somebody out there can help me out. I'm using RedHat advanced server and a windows 2000.

I'd like to set up my samba 2.2.8a server to serve printer drivers to clients when needed. I have set up the print$ share, in which I still have no drivers. Tried adding drivers from a win2000 workstation by using "server properties" command, I can't add anything since all buttons are greyed out. The user I am using is in the printer admin group in smb.conf. I

Hi, I have a 2.2.8 Samba server setup here that is mapping Unix home directories to a drive at login for Windows XP and Win2K Pro desktops. I'm using server level security, the password server being an Active Directory server. This works consistantly well. I've introduced a Win2K Server with terminal services and Samba will fail to authenticate after only a very few logins complaining

Greetings Samba Fans! I'm experiencing a strange problem which started after installation of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP: When a user tries to print there is a long delay (sometimes around 2 minutes) before the printer properties page is opened. This only affects Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. I did a 'tcpdump' on the printserver and observed something quite strange:

I am at a loss. I have two SUNs and 10 PCs (W95) on our network. One SUN box runs Solaris 1.1.1, it has four serial printers (old printers never die they just...) running from a serial extension card. Users validate when the come to their PC so they can access the printers and the disks on the SUNs. The second SUN runs 2.5.1 and I wanted to move the printer activity there with time. I created two
