similar to: Can't connect to my smb share from Win machine

Hello list, could somebody please point me to the information (tutorial) how to configure this properly, or where is the problem? I need to access the share without authentication (it's an isolated home network)... It used to work on FC3 but I can't figure it out on FC6 :-( By the way, there's a typo in the original post: the windows machine is W98 not 95. thanks Marek --- Marc

Hi, I am playing around with automatic printer driver download to Windows 2000 clients from Samba 2.2.8a-1 which doesn't seem to work. Whenever I right-click on the printer and say "connect", it displays: The server on which the printer resides does not have the correct printer driver installed..... Here is my smb.conf file: [Global] workgroup = DEBIAN_FANS load printers = yes

hi, i've always been using mount -t smbfs and recently "upgraded" to mount.cifs because i have a very aggressive application which always killed the smb connection (getting timeouts, ...). my setup: * some passwordless public/guest shares * one admin share over a x-over link to be able to use the admin share i had to switch my server from "security = share" to

Hi! We have a Samba 4.2.11 running with some browsable and passwordless shares (among others). Various Clients work fine (Windows Server 2008 R2, Konqueror Version 4.13.3), but Windows 2012 R2 asks for a password, when typing \\samba.our-domain.de\ in the adress bar. I tried various settings google gave me, right now the config for the share looks like: [test] path = /var/tmp

I am new to Samba, but not to Linux. I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I have installed Samba and it appears to be working, at least as far as I have tested it. However, I have hit a snag in my testing. I have searched Google for several hours but I have not found a solution. On a Linux machine (named "annwn") running Fedora Core 6, I have set up a share, using

Hi. Please excuse me if this is wrong place to ask. There is two servers involved in this case, Windows 2003 and Debian Linux. Windows 2003 is the Terminal Server, it runs multiple Remote Desktop Protocol sessions in the same time. At the first occurrence of the problem, it was Windows 2003 Server Standart SP1, in process of troubleshooting it was upgraded to SP2. The same error occurs on fresh

Hi all, I've tried searching all over the net for any information about this error but can't seem to find any. I've compiled Samba 2.2.8a on a RH Linux 7.3 box (kernel 2.4.18-3) with lsapsam support against openldap 2.0.23-4. I'm also using pam_ldap such that all authentication (unix + samba/windows) is done through LDAP, which is working quite nicely. However, none of my NT

Hi all, There are some surprises when trying to connect Windows 10 (up to date circa Dec 2016) to Samba (4.5.2) with 'smb encrypt = desired' as a config option. I've made a grid of some of the combinations 'smb encrypt = desired' settings below. The biggest surprise is that if 'smb encrypt = desired' is set globally and in the share, Windows 10 cannot connect at

Hi, I have a Samba print share set up, with a "print command" specified that just cats the file to /dev/ulpt0. This share is accessed by the guest Samba account, which I have set to be the 'smbguest' username. I can manually run the print command as root, and the file prints. I can manually run the print command as 'smbguest' (through sudo) and the file prints.

I am really new to configuring and maintaining samba, and have what I belive should be a quick question. I have recently installed Samba 2.2.2 on a Solaris 8 server. I need to make a directory on the samba server accessable by a small group of people here at work. The users who will be connecting to the samba share do not have accounts on the samba server. The are coming from Windows 2K boxes

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with Samba, trying to make it work on CentOS 7. Before that, I ran Samba successfully in a mixed environment with Slackware64 14.1 on the server and Slackware/Windows Seven on the client side. I have three sandbox machines running CentOS 7. One has a minimal install with only the samba and samba-client packages. Just to be on the safe side for fiddling,

Hi all, hope this isn't a duplicate - but my first post went AWOL. Sorry for this cheeky request and one that will probably not meet with much response but I may as well ask! I've just recieved my Cisco 7940 and am after upgrading it to the SIP firmware. I don't (yet) have a support contract and thus can't download the firmware image from the Cisco site.

Hi all, a cheeky request and one that will probably not meet with much response but I may as well ask! I've just recieved my Cisco 7940 and am after upgrading it to the SIP firmware. I don't (yet) have a support contract and thus can't download the firmware image from the Cisco site. I will be getting a support contract as soon as my reseller sorts it for me but had quite wanted

I have a samba server version 2.2.7a-8.9.0 running on RedHat 9.0. It is acting as a domain controller. I have some win2k clients logging in to this domain and mapping home shares, shared drives, etc. The network the servers are on is 1000Mb and the client networks are all 100Mb. The client networks are linked via 1000Mb uplink. The problem I'm having is that when a user copies a fair

Hi folks, Finally got Samba up and running after many oplock issues and I'm very pleased. One "detail" left that bothers me. I'm running FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE on our PDC and every night I'm (root) is emailed a security report. Among the items reported is: Checking for passwordless accounts: . . CLIENT01$::1134:1134::0:0:Machine CLIENT01:/dev/null:/sbin/nologin . Should I

We're *****very happy***** samba users in an environment where: 3 HP-UX 10.20 9000/700 ws act as servers for about 35 Win95/NT clients. Just upgraded to 2-0-5a: much performance for clients with very very low ws load. Great. There is one ws acting as main server offering disks via NFS to the other two, and there is a central samba configuration area where we use the machine name to

Hey all, well, first of all (even if it's quite late as it's in version 3.0.7 already): thanks a lot to all who are developing and supporting Samba! I'm new to Linux and I really like the way things are happening on this OS. But now, I've reached a point where I have to raise the white flag... It seems to me like - at least my - software raid can't dance Samba. I've got

I'm having some kind of trouble mapping all users in an ADS group to a Unix id. I'm running Samba 3.0.7 on Solaris 9 as a member of a Windows 2000 ADS Domain.
