Hi, using samba 3.0.X I have the following situation: I defined a share [lab] with path = /lab /lab in fact is bound to an automounter map containing about 20 mountpoints so that (under linux) I am able to access /lab/A /lab/B ... I want the same situation using windows. My [lab] share enables me to use \\fileserver\lab\A \\fileserver\lab\B ... So far so good. But the data concerning disk size

Dear samba users, I have a SuSE linux machine running samba 3.0.13 working as a print server. All works well for years now. Suddenly one of my machines (a terminal server) can't connect to \\printhost\print$ (as root) any more. Error message is "Configuration information can not be read from domain controller, either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied"

Dear samba admins, I have a samba/cups related problem. I am running SuSE 10.1 with cups 1.1.23 and samba 3.0.22. The problem is, that my windows printer status boxes don't reflect the samba printer queues. My test scenario: - I use "printing = SYSV" because I need to use "print command", too. - I installed a new printer named "test", called cupsaddsmb test. -

I am driving a Suse 8.2 linux with cups 1.1.18 and samba 2.2.7a. The problem: The host serves several printers via cups. If some jobs are in one of the queues "lpq -Pprinter" or "lpstat -o printer" shows up the complete listing. Fine. Connected to the same print queue from a Windows (XP/NT/98/2k) box I cannot see the complete listing. Sometimes I see some of the jobs, most of

I am driving Suse 8.2, samba 2.2.7a, cups 1.1.18 As I mentioned recently I cannot see the cups printer queues from a windows client even if lpq -Pprinter on the cups server gives the correct status. I tested a litte more and got the following results: 1.) If I configure samba to printing = CUPS printcap name = CUPS I can see all queue entries in the windows status panel, too -- except

Problem: I recently recognized that my samba server was misconfigured for some years now. I never used the charset and "client code page" parameters in my smb.conf to map windows encoded filenames with german umlauts to the unix ones. For that reason I now have lots of filenames with windows encoded german umlauts on my samba-share. OK. Now I want to change this fact (softly). When I

Guten tag Rainer, We use our Samba4/Win2k8 AD domain to authenticate all our Linux/Windows/OSX workstations. The home directories are mounted using CIFS in the Windows and OSX clients and NFS4 (krb5) in our Linux labs. Here?s our documentation (french): https://techwiki.gi.polymtl.ca/NFSv4_Kerberos <https://techwiki.gi.polymtl.ca/NFSv4_Kerberos> If Google translate gives you something

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! On a CD-ROM-server at the University Koblenz-Landau we are using Samba (2.0.5a) with Red Hat Linux (6.0, Kernel 2.2.5). The server is located here in Koblenz, but also used from another department of the university at Landau (about 80 miles from Koblenz; they have their own class B network). A traceroute from both locations gave a response time of about 10-50 msec. On

Sorry Suzanne, but for this problem I did not have a solution! The Problem is, that WIN NT, start the Network with the LOGIN - Screen (one of the Security Mechanism). I've you try to enter the network request to the AUTOEXEC.BAT - File, it will not mountd // map one of the drives, because the network isn't start at this time! The next Point you could enter is after the Login - Screen

Hello Luc, thanks for your answer. If I understand you correctly than you are using samba4 as windows domaincontroller and you do not have another Windows DC? So after all you have exactly one Kerberos Server that is part of the samba4 server?

Hello, I am searching for a solution that I thought should be kind of standard, but until now I was not successful finding anything. Here is the problem: At our site we offer windows and linux, most servers (eg file, samba, web) are linux based. User data is stored on NFS file servers. Windows systems are part of a Windows domain with an ADS domain controller. At the moment the linux samba

Hello, since a while I experience a strange problem with my samba 4.4.2 running on a SLES12SP2 system. The server does what it is supposed to do, so users can work without any problems and access their files via smb but since some weeks the server shows a strange and unusual very high system load. The samba server is not the domaincrontroller (which is a windows machine) but member of the

Hello Micha, we are using the sgid bit (chmod g+s <basedir>) in the base directory to inherit the group of this base-directotry to all new directories/files in it. In the smb share using this base directory you still have to set "inherit permissions=yes" which takes care of inheriting the sgid bit to new sub directories. This way all directories/files have the same group. This

Hi, tanks for the answer. Since /proc/<PID>/stack is a stack the topmost element should be the task where it got stuck which is: rwsem_down_write_slowpath which waits for getting a write lock semaphore: cat /proc/10193/stack [<0>] rwsem_down_write_slowpath+0x2e2/0x620 [<0>] nfs_rmdir+0x117/0x1b0 [nfs] [<0>] vfs_rmdir+0x7c/0x1b0 [<0>] do_rmdir+0x216/0x230

Hello, I recently set up a samba cluster with 4 nodes using ctdb. The systems are virtual Citrix xen machines running SuSE SLES11Sp2 with samba 3.6.3. The shared filesystem needed for ctdb is on a ocfs2 share stored on a ISCSI target. The cluster is running fine and ip takeover etc is working fine as well. To find out how the cluster would performe in real life with many clients accessing

Hallo, thank you very much for your link. Unfortunately I cannot make all files of all our users upper case. This is because all files that are stored on our fileservers for all our about 12000 accounts can be accessed via Samba but also via NFS from linux. Moreover even Users that usually work with Windows, sometimes log in on a Linux machine and want to access their files as well. What I am

Hello, we recently had a big problem with a very high load on our linux (Sles11 SP3) samba server version 3.6.3. We experienced a system load of up to 90 for 300 active samba users. The result was that hardly any user was able to really do anything (eg access a file via samba). One sympton was visible in a very high share of cpu *system* time (about 25% on each of the 10 CPUs). This system load

Hello, I run a samba server for windows users who access their user data via samba. The samba server is NOT the domaincontroller. This task is performed by a native windows machine. The samba server is running on a pve virtual machine. All data that samba delivers to the windows users are stored on two NFS servers (also VMs) and accessed via an automounted NFS mount for each user on the

Hello, I try to set up a clustered samba server (on Novell SLES11SP2) based upon CTDB and NFS. My problem is that I do not yet understand the structure of the setup when using NFS. I followed the documentation in http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/CTDB_Setup#Setting_up_CTDB_for_clustered_NFS As far as I understand this documentation, it should be possible to set up a samba cluster say having 3
