similar to: Printer Queue not being cleared

Hi, On our samba server (3.0.22-SuSE93) we have many printers installed with cups. Most of them are RAW queues to use within Windows. A few of them however, are filtered queues for Linux to use. I would like to EXCLUDE the filtered queues so Windows users cannot use them, but am not sure how to do this within the smb.conf. Thanks in advance for any assistance, -- Rory Vieira rory dot vieira at

Hi, I'm using Syslinux 3.11 on a 1Gb USB Stick. The stick has 1 partition in FAT16. I'm experimenting with initramfs stuff, and just built a small tree (round 2.2M). I just inserted the kernel modules into that tree, and it became pretty large, with a resulting bzImage of 16.2Mb!!! When I try to start that kernel, I get an error: Invalid or corrupt kernel image. Any idea's on this?

Hi, What is the latest version of Samba for SuSE 9.0, and where can I find it. Shame support was dropped for this one... still being used a lot... -- Rory Vieira rory dot vieira at gmail dot com

Hi, I'm unable to utilize extlinux properly. I must be doing something wrong: Clear entire hdd: dd if=/dev/zero of=/devv/hda bs=1M Creating single active partition...: fdisk /dev/hda Formatting the partition...: mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1 Mount it: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hd Install extlinux: extlinux -i /mnt/hd reboot machine and force it to boot from the hdd...

Hi, One of my customers is running a pretty old Redhat 8 (Psyche) server with Samba 2.2.something (I think 7). Next week I'm planned to upgrade his Redhat platform to SuSE 9.3 and also update his samba to 3.0.23b. My biggest worry is that this customer has about 14 workstations already in the 2.2.x domain. I would like to know WHAT to do so I won't have to re-add all those machines

<rant>Every time I set up a new test Samba server, the step to "net rpc rights grant..." ALWAYS fights me tooth and nail... ALWAYS with a different error message. I've even created little scripts to run so I am not typing commands incorrectly... but NNNOOOOOO, the script to grand rights to one stink'n account always has to complain!</rant> OK, this time it is...

Hello, i updated my samba to version 3.0.20 on a suse 9.2 system. I thought, some new net rpc commands need samba 3.0.13. But I get faults with the command: amd:~ # net rpc rights grant testuser10 SeMachineAccountPrivilege [2005/08/25 02:45:35, 0] param/loadparm.c:map_parameter(2536) Unknown parameter encountered: "enables privileges" [2005/08/25 02:45:35, 0]

I have a share which a group write list. That group is mapped to a Linux group in /etc/group. That group in Linux has two users. The first user listed is suddenly unable to write, but the second one is. With the affected user logged in to Win2K, ifmember /list shows they are a member of the group, as does the working account. I am guessing one of those .tdb files or something got scrambled on the

I see that the w32time service as it is configured when a Win2K Pro client joins a Samba PDC Domain is not configured in such a way that the service is able to successfully sync time with Samba.

Hey all... I am trying to connect to a Epson FX-85 24-pin printer on my file/print/samba server. I am running SuSE 9.1/Samba 3.0.2a with CUPS as the print spool. When I try to connect to the printer from W2K land, I get this error: "Permission denied" I am at a loss as to where to look (sorry I dont have my smb.conf file posted. I am away from home for a couple of days). ALl else

man smb.conf does not specifically say admin users supports @groupname syntax. Google turns up lots of examples of it being used, but everyone hanging their smb.conf's up to air does not mean they are 100% accurate either. Here, Samba 3.0.4 in PDC mode, I can not get it to accept the name of a group in /etc/group, user ID's only. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper

Is there a trick to append an additional directory level onto the defauly behavior of a [homes] share looking in /etc/passwd to find the users Linux home dir? It would offer a bit of protection if Windows clients ended up in say the WinHome directory within their Linux home directory when logging in from Windows so they are not tempted to tamper with their desktop settings files for Linux from

Hi, Is there a locking problem with version 3.0.2a? We have been running this version over the past several weeks with no problems, but over the past few days have been experiencing horrendous apparently random problems with Outlook, Printing and Excel. Outlook fails with the error "folder being modified by another workstation" Excel gives "disk full" errors Printing stops

Greetings- I have not found discussed / documented what to do with machine accounts when moving a Samba PDC to new hardware. I have seen that uid/gid numbers must match between the old/new system. I am thinking to use adduser to accomplish that, then make the numbers on the new server match, using a text editor. After that, can I simply enter the machine account entries by hand with a text

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

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

Greetings- I am wondering if anyone from the Samba team would happen to have interest in creating official builds for Ubuntu? To add a twist, unfortunately I would not be fishing for 7.10 packages, but rather 7.04 as we ran into too many issues with 7.10 whereas 7.04 seems rock solid stable. Or, are there packages built of Samba releases for Ubuntu external to samba.org? Thanks, -- Michael

Hello fellow list members, does anyone knows of a good HOWTO (or a book) for setting up Samba as a PDC? I have been dealing around with the Samba HOWTO collection, but to be honest, this is a hard job. There are some errors in it and descriptions are not this good. I even don't know what all the tools are for. I'm really experienced in Linux server stuff, but this one drives me mad.

I am having difficulties figuring out which group has permissions on directories that I have within a directory. For example, at the command line, I use "ls -l" (without the quotes, of course) to get the following display: drwxrwx--- 3 MIS+psch MIS+Carb 4096 Sep 2 11:10 MyFolder Drwxr-xr-x 3 MIS+dzoo MIS+Carb 4096 May 21 2003 ThatFolder As you can see, MIS+Carb is all I can see, but

Hi, I am writing an Perl application that automatically mounts a samba directory. But I would like to know if that directory is already mounted by samba (i.e. in multiple logins, that directory could be mounted only on the first login) ?
