Hi list, I am trying to track down a printer-related problem. The most important symptom is a smbd process using almost all memory on my machine (up to 800 MB, at the specific case of which I've posted the logs.) At some point the VM will kill the smbd process, freeing the memory. Apart from this, samba keeps on running fine. Investigation of a level 3 debug log of this process has shown

Hello, I'm running Samba 3.6.6-1 on my x64 Arch Linux installation. I recently decided to have my samba share support NTFS's Alternate Data Streams by using streams_xattr or streams_depot. With streams_xattr I discovered that if I copy a file having an ADS from a win7 box, on the linux console, I can see the ADS as an xattr attached to the file. However when I copy the file back to my

Hi all I am fairly new to samba and XP. I have a client who we set up a samba server for, they are complaining about documents taking about 30 secs -2-3mins to open but only sometimes (it can be very frequent). I have seen this and captured a piece of the log file I wonder if any one can make any sense of it... I have been looking on the net and trying various things all day but to no avail...

Hello mailinglist, I have a strange problem, which occurs sometimes on some WinXP clients. It is not 100% reproducable for me, but it returns regular. The problem is, that somehow a user can't delete a directory. All files in the directory will be removed successfully, but the directory itself not. Deleting with the Explorer or over the cmd-console returns in the same result. First the

I'm not sure if this is a samba problem or just a problem with the app. I'm unable to an application from a shared drive "\\ucd01\protel\". I've mapped the network drive "k:\protel\"and the apps ini file points to it but gives me an error message suggesting it can't see the drive. XP can however and I can browse it in explorer. A strange thing is that when I

Hi, I sent a mail a few days ago to this list related with GFS+samba problems. Since the, we have installed a sepparated test environment also with two linux servers where we have tested a samba server with an exported share in GFS. The share is read-only and only one server is exporting it. When we try to access from a single windows client it works fine, but when we try to access to the

Running Gentoo linux samba-3.0.23a I've used samba for quite some time but never have had to delve into its inner workings... Its always just worked. Recently I'm finding that when accessing linux shares from a winxp machine, I have read access, but no write. Far as I know the unix to samba user mappings as set correctly (and as they have been for some time) Near as I can tell the

Hi, We have a major problem using Samba to access NFS mounted directories. The directory in question is on a Snap server running OS 3, and Samba is running on a new Sun V250 running Solaris 9; the NFS directory is mounted using udp. The problems occur when trying to load a file, which causes the samba process to crash. Another process starts automatically, crashes and so forth. However, the

Hi; I've run into a somewhat interesting issue in regards to IIS serving content from a samba share.

My Windows XP SP3 clients aren't loading their logged_in_username.bat from my netlogon share, and I can't figure out why. It looks like in the log file the Windows PCs are loading the script, its just not executing it on the windows PCs for some reason, but if I click start, run, and type in \\roark\netlogon\scripts\jholland.bat it runs fine. Running samba 3.0.31 and here's the

<Long Post, sorry!> Folks, I have a really nasty problem preventing me from migrating a bunch of NetWare 5 servers to Samba--attempts to copy large (> 2MB+) files to any samba share results in an error. To clarify what I mean by "error": 1. I attempt to copy, using explorer, a 2MB+ file to any samba share. 2. A 30 second or so pause occurs (copying this file to any other

When I type the user name and password to logon onto our network (samba is the pdc) it takes a long time to login. How can I go about speeding this up? Is it a Win Xp issue or do I need to tweak samba? Also, when I login in to an XP machine I get a script (looks like some sort of logon script) that shows up in notepad on the desktop and stays there until I close it. What is this and how can I

Setup: - Samba 3.5.6 (Debian Stable release, amd64); - Testing Windows 7 client behaviour, specifically with regard to users who don't yet have profiles. The Windows docs state that a domain logon for a new user will cause the default network profile to be used if available, if not then a default local profile is used instead. The location for the default network profile is

I've got a tough to track down problem that seems to be samba related. I've got a directory structure like this: topdir/ lib1/src lib1/include lib2/src lib2/include etc. Each src directory has a makefile in it. VPATH is set to ../include. I'm running cygwin bash and make. In some directories, make can't find files in ../include. In other directories, make finds

I'm hoping someone has some insight into a problem I'm currenty having, which is: No one is able to edit (in place) documents with Word 2000 on a samba (2.2.6) disk share. A user can open word and save a document to the share, but when they go to edit the document Word says "Word cannot complete the save due to a file permission error". From Microsoft KB Q211632 it appears
