similar to: Second SAMBA Server different NETBIOS alias and shares for ClearCase

We are having some problems in our company's test group that did not exist when our Clearcase 2003.06 server existed on a Solaris 8 machine. Now we are running on RHEL 5.2 with Clearcase 7.0.1.3 with Samba 3.0.28 (despite the fact that IBM has only blessed up to 3.0.24) and running into some file locking issues with some scripts our test group runs. I am hoping that someone might have some

Hello, We are using Samba to connect our ClearCase server to the Windows environment. Our original configuration was one server hosting all our VOBs and Views. We have Samba configured to allow mapping of shares to our ClearCase Windows Clients. Everything was working fine. Now we have set up a second server to host all our Views separate from the VOBs. So we have a View server and a separate VOB

Hi all, Just a novice in this world of Samba. I got a question, probably too simple. No problem to access share file systems and mount ClearCase vobs. Log shows access granted to NT userid belonging to the right UNIX group. Then, editing a file ( using a view thru Explorer), log shows another non authenticate user called clearcase_albd trying to be validated. I guess due to

Hello, I am Shashidhar SR Working for Siemens Communication Software in Bangalore, INDIA as a Configuration Manager for Clearcase. I need some help regarding the samba configuration at our site. First Let me Explain our Environment: - We are Using samba 2.2.8a on Solaris 9. - We are using samba as an interop from Solaris 9 box to winnt/w2k/win-xp clients. - On Solaris we have installed IBM

Hi All, Users at our site are using SAMBA (Version 2.0.8 and 1.9.15p8) to map their Home Directories and their Clearcase Vobs/Views on their Windows 2000 desktops. Home directories are being mapped without any issues but while mapping their views/vobs we are getting the error stated below: Network path \\server name\share could not be found and The mapped network drive could not

We're trying to use samba to let our PC's mount view extended pathnames used by clearcase but they show up as empty. If anyone's used samba and Clear Case (by Pure Atria) and gotten it to work I'd love to hear how. thanks, Bill -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- William H.

FYI:, I'm fairly new to samba (a couple of months now), and have experimented - unsuccessfully - with getting it to work with clearcase. Does anyone have a how-to, or a list of gotcha's for setting up clearcase with samba? Thanks in advance for any information you can send me. Ozzie,

I'm hoping this turns into another case of 'knowing it works makes it happen.' I am involved with a unix clearcase installation which now needs to work with nt. We have clearcase 3.2.1 running on both the unix and nt side. Because we have checkin/checkout triggers hooked to some unix-side stuff, we need the unix views to be accessible from nt. Does anyone have direct experience

Hi all -- I recently temporarily deployed an upgraded Clearcase server (7.1.2.3) on 64 bit RHEL 5.6. With it I was using Redhat's release of Samba for that version of the OS -- 3.0.33. The system has 32 GB of memory and within 12 hours, it would be down into swap. Maximum active licenses used is 36 but a more typical load is 18-25 users having a Clearcase license at once. Clearcase

Andrew, Thank you for your suggestions. The real problem is Rational Technical support. When you pay someone 100k+ they tend to look for any excuse to deem you "unsupported". If you don't have your default group set to the clearcase user group, then technical support will decide that thats where your problem is! I am sure you know how that goes... I have solved problems

We have ClearCase database on unix and users on windows. We are creating Unix users locally on that Clearcase server. Samba is also installed on that server. User windows machines are part of domain. Groups,usres are created on domain and same users,groups are created on unix server. Now problem is occuring when a windows user is changing the password for his domain login. as soon as user is

For our Linux Machines (SLES 10) we are using kerberos and LDAP to authenticate against Active Directory (works perfectly) Please note that the same configuration works with Windows 2003 Server, the problem is with with Windows 2008 Server However we are experiencing problems with winbind for the file share, I see in the "log.winbind-idmap" logfile the following errors [2011/03/03

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the tip but ...(there's always a but) if I do this (increase MAX_OPEN_FILES to 1024), I get an error in log.smb: Can't create or use IPC area. Error was File exists I'm using FAST_SHARE_MODES to compile samba. Does this take up too much space or is there something else wrong?

Hello @List, We have a pretty complex problem; In our company AD is the one and only directory service, all other "clients" need to follow the given settings and guidelines. We are connected via security ADS , but every patch session on the PDC `s is a nightmare , does it still work or not. So we think about alternatives to the existent situation, pls note , we do not have any

This falls under the 'getting clearcase to work with samba' category. Does anybody know if the clearcase albd server actually uses samba to access files (or anything else) on the unix side? I am having 'discussions' with rational (the clearcase people). The nt user running clearcase to access some unix-side views connects to the unix side using a set of credentials that have

Hi, folks: One of my developers brought a SAMBA/ClearCase permissions issue to my attention for which I have no visibility. Perhaps someone has run across this before, and could enlighten us? We are using ClearCase 5 on SunFire 880 vob servers, SAMBA 2.2. Developer creates file in unix vob, using unix view, from unix machine, testfile_unix_text Developer creates file in unix vob, using unix

Gerald, No worries. This patch is required if your using Rational ClearCase and you don't want everyone to have access to it. It's to fix a brokenness (IMO) within ClearCase, and maybe other programs. Our windows primary group has 10k+ users... I will shoot it off to Rational, so they can provide it to there customers. I was hoping it could be applied to the main tree so I could just

Hello Samba, We tried to use samba-2.2.4-1 with Rational ClearCase and had a problem using WinBind. ClearCase requires the primary group id to be set to the clearcase users group. WinBind sets the primary group to something like DOMAIN_GROUP_RID_USERS. I am including the patch we made to samba-2.2.4 to get things working. I have added two new smb.conf options: winbind primary group //

Hi Can somebody help me concerning this problm with samba. I am using samba 2.0.7 to link clearcase DB files on server UNIX with NT clearcase clients.
