I want to use %U to map My Documents to each individual's directory on the Samba server. This is working fine in Win98 but in XP %U maps to "guest" when I log in as "george". In Win98 %U comes across as "george". I am running Samba V 3.0.20 Linux kernel 2.4.22 Slackware 9.1.0 All Win98 and XP machines are in a domain with the pdc on a different box from

I've been upgrading a client's systems from Win98SE to WinXP and am having an unexpected problem. I have 2 Linux servers. One is a print and fax server which has worked fine with the Win98 workstations. They can browse and find the printer (an HP LaserJet 5Si) and print without problems. The server itself is also running HylaFax and is printing with out a problem. The XP systems

I've got a Samba server that is acting as a member server in a Windows NT Domain. I enabled CUPS printing yesterday and have shared the 4 printers to the domain. I then added the printers onto a Windows 2000 client, and can print just fine to any of them. But I have two problems (read "annoyances"): 1). When I look at any of the printers from Windows (i.e. Control

1) A lot (but not all) of my smbd / nmbd logs are going to /var/log/messages instead of /var/log/samba/ I tried a couple of things in syslog.conf, but just don't know the magic word for samba logs. 2) I'm getting lots of "couldn't find service" errors. I had: [data] path = /data read only = no public = yes browseable = yes writeable

Hello everyone, I am having a problem printing to a Xerox Document Centre 440 ST from XP pro Clients thru my RedHat Linux 7.2 server running Samba 2.2.3a. The XP Clients connect successfully to the printer queue, sends the file, but nothing comes out of the printer. At least for most XP Clients. I have one PC that does print, but that person is also an admin on the Linux box. I know the PCs

Hai, we are using Suse linux 8 Standard Server for PDC. Our Samba Version is 2.2.5. Past 10Months it's working good and i can login in from Windows 98,ME,XP,2000. But last month suddenly Windows XP & 2000 users cannot connect to samba PDC with Domain Login. While Joining the Samba PDC Domain there is no problem, I can get the "welcome to domain".

Hi all ..... I tried to connect my windows box to my PDC which is Debian Linux based with Samba 3.0.4. I've got windows-cups driver ( cups-samba-5.0rc3 ) came from linuxprinting.org installed. What I did : - host:#cupsaddsmb -H host -U root printername - connect to the shared printer via a fully updated winxp box, and it's successfully installed - I checked it out on printers and faxes

Hi there Brian! I've seen your email on one of the samba mailing list. This has been my problem for a long time. I just want to share this problem directly to you and i hope you can lend me your help. I'm trying to setup windows printer sharing using SAMBA installed on my Linux box (Redhat 7.3 as printer server) and windows 2000 pro as my client. My win2k clients are connected to a

Hey folks. I have samba 2.0.7 running just fine on a freebsd server. I have file shares that work just fine for my windows clients. I have set up a deskjet 842C on the freebsd box and I can print to it just fine. Im using apsfilter with it. I have the printer set up and I can see it from my windows clients, but print jobs submitted to the queue never get printed. Im not sure wether to use bsd mode

Hi, I'm running samba 3.0.1 on SuSE9, server is configured as member server in a NT4 controlled domain. now the problem: it's possible to upload drivers; it's possible to set default settings/ setting printer configuration; Client: add new printer -> network printer -> browse for network printers , and here is the problem, the samba isn't shown as a print server,

dear samba list members, I recently installed RedHat 8.0 with samba 2.2.7 (already updated, was 2.2.5 before I think, but with the same problem). now I have the problem, that overwriting of files on shares of that samba machine sometimes is extremely slow. writing new files is fast as ever. but what seems interesting to me is, that it depends on how I'm overwriting files. for example I'm

Hi again Thank you all for helping me out, really appreciate it. Works like a charm now, I added [global] printing = cups printcap name = lpstat load printers = yes and in [printers]-section: [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes

I currently have Samba server I am trying to make into a print server. Things print fine from both the linux box that is running the samba server and the Windows 2000 client. Under the Printers Folder (Start --> Settings --> Printers) the Status message beside the printers on the Samba print server reads 'Access denied, unable to connect'. Again I have to say EVERYTHING prints fine.

I have a new Centos 5.1 system whicn reports samba version samba 3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4 - and have just added a physical printer. Linux doesn't know the printer (Samsung CLP510) so it is installed as "raw" - no driver. When I use a windows box to browse the network - the printer is visible on the C5 server (without me explicitly creating a share)- and I can "connect" it -

Issue: Three WinXP Pro boxes using Offline Files disconnect from all Samba shares when a user either performs a synch or accesses a file on the share with offline files enabled. About half the time, being able to reconnect for any length of time requires a reboot of the WinXP machines. Disabling the Offline Files in Windows alleviates the problem. Background and Network

Hi, Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 7 or Samba 2.0.5 on Solaris 2.6 security = share Ok, in my previous email on this subject I indicated that switching to security = user might be the right idea to fix the problem I am having. However, this isn't possible for a variety of reasons. So basically, the question is now this: with security = share and the following printer share definition: [printers]

I have made a CUPS print server and unable to load printer driver nor able to install the printer on the windows machine. The error I am getting is as below: - "Windows can not locate suitable printer driver. Contact your administratorxxxxx" I can print test page from the cups panel and the printer works fine. I tried to upload the driver through windows machine by right

I just upgrdaded to FreeBSD 5.2 CURRENT and installed samba 3.0.3pre2. I have copied /etc/printcap and samba config from the previous installtion (FreeBSD 4.8 and samba 2.x) Now, i cannot print anything from windows xp (i only have windows xps, so i cannot tell if it works from other windows but i guess it does not). When i printed the data is sent to the printer and no error shows up on

Greetings, Is there any way to get Samba to interact with MS-DOS? I am attempting to turn a Linux box into a VPN router for DOS clients. What I need to know is, can I get a CIFS protocol stack for MS-DOS, is a TCP/IP stack sufficient, are there any other solutions anyone knows about? Thank You.
