similar to: [home] shares not closing ?!

Ehmmm, i would like to make some sugestions for the new samba release.. the "hide files =" in the smb.conf is a [global] parameter, wouldn't it be nice to make this a [section] parameter... (incase you have some hidden files/dirs in 1 share and in an other the same file/dir names, witch should not be hidden) and second, please please please make an option in pdbedit so that U can

Dear Sir : Nice to meet you. We are using the Samba v2.0.7 ported from uClinux to build the Samba = server for Network Storage. Currently, we met several strange problems as below : 1) Under Windows XP : The Windows backup function cannot work. But the BackUp function works well under Windows 2000. 2) Under Windows 98/98SE, we cannot copy a file

G'day.. just haveing the straingest problem..

i built a samba/ldap pdc. i have the same 'net groupmap list' as holger wesser. it was made by a 'net rpc vampire' because i have to migrate from an NT4 domain. so if i understand well, 'net rpc vampire' creates unix groups with blank spaces but shouldnt ? unix groups are at the right of the groupmap list ? exact ? Do i have to correct unix groups in the ldap base and put

Hi all, i'm a bit confused, can i setup samba (3.0.30) with LDAP backend, and have the "posix/local linux" users and groups reside in the /etc/groups /etc/shadow ect. ect (the standard linux files) ??? or do i have to put them in ldap also ?? (is there a choice?) Greets, Collen

good day... well just need some good input on how to backup a samba server, and to preserve the posix-acl's.. got 1 pdc and 1 bdc running, but it seems that there isn't a good way to make a backup with acl.. nfs4 doesn't have anny good support for acl's (yet) so i tried to mount a samba share with mount -t smbfs.. no acl's there ?? so please is there a protocol/service that i

Hi, I think that the delete user script is called only by smbd when a usrmgr or other external tools work with samba. smbpasswd and pdbedit is local tools and not use the "delete user script", it work directly with the selected sam. ----------------------------------- St?phane PURNELLE stephane.purnelle@corman.be Service Informatique Corman S.A.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected

Hi, with 2.2.9pre1 from cvs (ftp://pserver.samba.org/pub/unpacked/samba_2_2 - downloaded on 14. Sep 2003) the special [homes]- section is broken.

Client is WinXPPro. smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TOMMAIK serverstring = interfaces =

I'm curious how others manage their windows 7 machines on a samba 3.x.x domain .. especial the part of policies and scripts. i got the win7 running in the samba domain, but i'm stuck in the policies part.. and i don't want to use nitrobit for this. how do other users do this.. ?! thx, Collen

ehh, just a little remark/note for the mysql passwd backend users and developers... when adding a user, the 'account desc' field is NOT filled in..! when adding some text manualy, and doing pdbedit -v <user> the field showes up, so when reading from the passwdbackend, the fields are resolved, when writting too the passwdbackend , the description field (and maybe more important

Hi all, i've got samba 3.6 joined to a ad domain (s4 in this case) running winbind all looks ok, but i ran into a problem (for us that is) i've got 2 groups (students and employes) who have there home dirs in 2 different places. /home/students/<user> /home/employ/<user> so far so good, but i can't make the [homes] work for both of them (just 1 group) in winbind

G'day... I've installed the acl - xatrrib patch from bestbits and it works nice on my RH9 system with Samba.. the only problem i encounter is that a file or directory losses it's extended atrributes when you copy it.. for example cp "--preserve=all /source /destination" preserves the normal acl af the linux system, but skips the acl/xattrib from bestbits. i used the

Well, in my case, i have samba running as a server, with auth. to 2 samba pbc/bdc servers this server uses winbind to resolve usernames and groups. i get the error: [ date ] nsswitch/winbind_user.c:winbind_getpwnam(159) user 'collen' does not exist.
