I have a samba server running on ubuntu 9.10 with windows (both Xp and vista) clients running quickbooks (accounting software). Quickbooks can connect to the samba server and get access to the data files with no problems, if the secretary uses quickbooks continuously there is never a problem the system works for hours on end. However if the secretary leaves the software running but doing nothing

Hi all After running samba 3.0.0 for a couple of days I get messages like this in my logs which look a bit suspicious :-) to me. Anyone knows what this is all about?

Hi. I have some trouble with my samba domain controller. Every time I try to logout my windows workstation, I get an error that the share is no longer availible. I estimate that this happens around the time when windows tries to copy my user profile back to the server. (because when I change profile type to local the error no longer occurs) on the samba side the following error is logged.

Hello, I'm trying to add a user to big list of Samba groups, 74 groups to be precise. The problem is that when the user reaches around 65 to 70 groups, it starts giving errors in User Manager for Domains, and causes a panic in Samba. Is there a limit for how many groups a user may belong? I'm using Samba-3.0.10 with openldap. This is what I get in the logs. [2005/02/07 13:22:42, 0]

Hello I am having a very trippy time trying to get the [homes] share to work on my samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE (SuSE 9.0) server working.

Hi, I upgraded my 3.0.0 setup to 3.0.1. Basic functions worked well: logging to domain, login script executes, home drive gets connected, PDC is browseable, shares accessible.

Some users got into their mailbox, others
