hi, i've been trying for like two weeks to figure out why samba doesn't run properly. from the logs it looks like smbd will start followed by nmbd. then nmbd will exit for no apparent reason. i'm able to start samba manually with the command '/etc/init.d/samba start'. right now i'm assuming nmbd is the reason why samba doesn't load. i'm running samba version

Hello, I am using samba 2.0.4b on Linux 2.0.36. Since I changed some of the parameters in my smb.conf I have a very strange Problem. Everytime my Samba-Box wins the browselist election process two nmbds are started and my WinXX-Clients do not get access to samba (I could see the server but not access the shares nor login to the domain). smbclient -L server from server works fine. From another

Howdy. I'm running samba-3.0.2-2 (from the binaries on samba.org) on a RedHat 9 box with kernel 2.4.20-28.9. I can access shares from my Windows XP Home box, but the performance isn't very good. When I looked into this, I discovered that apparently the connections are getting dropped, over and over again, which causes a lot more work, I'm sure. Here's a snippet from my main

I have recently upgraded my Redhat 7.3 server to Fedora FC1 with all related updates. I also upgraded my samba version from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2a. It now seems that my nmbd daemon will not start & subsequently I cannot log in from any Windows client as the netbios server name PDC is not found I think. Before this problem started, I noticed that in order for my DNS ping requests from Windows clients

I've been having problems installing Samba on AIX 4.32. I have spent well over two weeks on the issue and have not had any major success. I can get samba 1.9 series of source code and binaries to work fine but the new Samba 2.0 series code is causing me problems. I have the following system and problem. I have a H50 with 2 NICs; one is ether and the other is token. I can't seem to browse

Hi, I'll try to configure browsing on W2k and ME Clients. But every time I'll get a No such Workgroup error. All clients are in the same Workgroup (no cross Subnets) Samba is configured as local master browser and a guest user is set up. I read the BROWSING.txt and all I think I should have done I've done ;-). THe Workgroup name is SYSTEM the samba server is daemon with IP 192.168.1.1

Okay - I've been plugging away and it got to the point that running smbclient was returning information about an Alfresco install that I never used, so I went ahead and deleted everything I could find on my machine that said "alfresco". I then removed samba using apt-get from the machine by typing apt-get remove --purge samba I deleted the /etc/samba directory and re-installed

Hi, I've asked this question some days ago but nobody answered me. Now I ask again. If it's a Problem with the 'data' included please tell me. I'll try to configure browsing on W2k and ME Clients.

Hi. I got this email-address from BUGS.txt file of the samba distribution. I read it carefully. I got configured and working samba, I work with samba above one year. I still have a problem, and, according to the samba log output, I think it's probably a bug. When I try to use the shares with audit support, I have my Far disconnected and telling me that something is wrong. I have that

After running several days in the same configuration, my 3.0.6 nmbd crashed with the above error (see log below). Maybe there is a connection to this message some seconds before: register_name_response: server at IP 192.168.0.4 rejected our name registration of AK<1d> IP 192.168.0.12 with error code 6.

Hi guys I have setup a NT4 Domain, using Freeipa as a ipasam backend... Normal user authentication and shares seems to work, but i'm getting an error when trying to join a Windows 7 machine to the domain (see below)... To me it seems to be the same error as here: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11245.... Does anyone know if this patch have been implemented in the samba in

Hi, I've recently upgrade to Samba 1.9.17p1 from 1.9.16p11 (for Solaris 2.5), but have now found that smbclient fails to connect to user shares on win95 machines. I've tried the same login account from a win95 account and am able to mount shares from other win 95 machines. I've also tried running the old smbclient binary with the new smbd & nmbd daemons, and that lets me log

Hi Clients cannot connect to the Samba server (Version 3.0.25b OpenBSD/amd64), first attempt gives Access denied, second attempt gives The network name request is no longer available. Can someone please help in finding out what is wrong? I've been going through the logs and configuration the past week, but can't seem to find out what's the issue. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I am configuring Linux (2.0.33) as a local router. I am wanting to use Samba (1.9.18p3) to "manage" the browse lists on my network so that computers on each subnet can browse resources on the other subnets. My local network consists of Win95 and NT40 workstations with NT40 servers. My test configuration consists one token ring segment on one side of the Samba box (network .192) and

Hi, I have a Samba 3 PDC running with around 20 Windows XP/2K clients. The PDC and the clients are in different subnets. I recently decided to add a Samba 3 BDC in the same subnet as the clients, to give some failover and also to reduce across-switch traffic. After creating the BDC, I restarted one of the clients but don't see it establishing connection with the BDC, instead it connects as

Hello I have a Fedora 6 with samba 3.0.2465 working great as a PDC with Win98 clients. The server has domain logon working and login scripts running I have made a second server to replace the first but after upgrading beyond Fedora 8 it no longer works. I can see shares with Vista64 Business and XP Pro although they will not authenticate but the win98 boxes I get "the domain password
