Further. What's a concise way to describe this problem. It must have been encountered before. I usually google all of my issues and find answers that way.

I'm not a complete noob. I've setup numerous samba boxes and have never seen this before. It happened after moving to a new server. my [printers} share is identical to the old server, as well as the [global] cups/printing directives in smb.conf when accessing printers via unc I get "incorrect function" (I've gotten into the useful habit of connecting up my windows users

we're using Samba 3.0.10 on a Mac OS X server (XServe), and are accessing files on the XServe from Windows Server 2003. for the specific situation of creating thumbnails of images, i'm seeing a huge perf difference between accessing the same file via mapped drive vs. UNC path. if we map the Z: drive to \\usseast01\assetstorage (Z:\foo.tif), and create a thumbnail of a 1.5MB TIFF file,

I am experiencing a strange problem that I hope someone out there has experience withf. We have a large fileserver running samba 3.6 backed by a 12T ext4 filesystem. We keep lots of VMware VMs on the filestore and I am trying to make some improvements to how we manage/launch/use the VMs. To that end, I've been trying to launch the VMs via the VMware VIX API by UNC path (not mapped drive).

I find that Sys.glob() doesn't like UNC paths where the initial slashes are backslashes. The help page for Sys.glob() doesn't specificly mention UNC paths, but does say: "File paths in Windows are interpreted with separator \ or /." Is the failure to treat a path beginning with a double-backslash as a UNC network drive path the intended behavior? E.g., on a Windows system

Hi, Back in 2010 I had a problem with 'update.packages()', which I worked around by mapping a drive letter to a UNC path [described in <http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-February/229820.html> but my current workaround is assign(".lib.loc", sub("\\\\\\\\Server02/stats", "L:", .libPaths(), ignore.case = TRUE), env=environment(.libPaths))].

Is this a samba issue or cups? I can print from a client just fine if I install a local printer attached to a local smb port (\\server\printershare). But when I create a "network" printer (using apw or double clicking on printershare in explorer), all I get for a test page (or from anything else actually) is a blank page with three non-alpha, greek lookin chars in the upper right.

I'm using rsync and cygwin to do some backups from Windows machines. I have been doing something along these lines: c:\cygwin\bin\rsync -aR -e c:\cygwin\bin\ssh.exe --numeric-ids --delete --delete-after --verbose --ignore-errors --exclude-from=/cygdrive/c/offsitebackup/excludes.txt /cygdrive/c/ root@remotehost This all worked well until I had to do backups of several mapped drives

Hi Graham, In that case I''ll have to redefine File.delete and Dir.rmdir in the win32-file package and win32-dir packages, respectively. Please add a feature request on the project page so I don''t forget. I should have it done this weekend. Dan Foster, Graham wrote: > I want to create a long UNC based path..

I ran into a situation where partial UNC support would be helpful and easy. Visual Sourcesafe runs well under Wine if I map \\vssServer\vssDir to a drive letter. Unfortunately, our administrator has the line journal_file = \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt in the sourcesafe config file. This causes an error dialog box "Bad DOS filename \\vssServer\vssDir\foo.txt". If Wine handled UNC

My apologies if this is an off-topic WINE question... I have 5 Wintel machines that all UNC map over to my Ubuntu server (\\Ubuntu\M-Music\) for my MediaMonkey application. I use SAMBA for network sharing and it works perfectly. I am trying to configure WINE to have the same UNC mapping structure on my Linux machine (eg. \Ubuntu\M-Music\) so I can share a common SQLite database throughout the

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins

Have a perplexing problem here... If you UNC to the IP the shares show up fine, if you UNC to the DNS name when I go into the shares they seem to be pointed to /tmp. Also the printer isn't visible when you use UNC to DNS name. Since I'm using server based security is it possible it can't indentify me? [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = SMBSVR server string = Samba

Let's keep this on the samba list and not an interactive between you and me...Also, I prefer bottom posting so my reply will be at the bottom.

You must create a output filter. Edit /etc/printcap and add your client printer like this: ... PC-PRINTER:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/PP01:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/null:\ :if=/var/spool/lpd/Filter/PP01:\ :sh: ... Adjust the printcap parameters as needed (spool directory, directory to find the filter script). Make sure the lpd can access the directory. Consult your manual. Now create the filter

Hi, Not a Samba question specifically, so please forgive me, but somewhat related... I am trying to automate some tasks in a secure environment (restricted ipsec vpn). Running Windows 2000 (and XP, etc), I would like to be able to access a Samba server using the UNC, but specify a username/password combination as well. You know, in Windows Explorer it allows you to "Connect using a

Hi, Microsoft some time ago introduced Hardened UNC Paths, and in April published the Badlock security fixes, which seem to be related to that. Samba at the same time published versions 4.4.1 (and 4.4.2). Even after reading the release notes of Samba 4.4.1 several times, I still do not know whether I must manually adjust smb.conf to be protected from these vulnerabilities. What I do know is

hello folks, i'm running 3.0.23b and i've noticed something that has changed. before, i could give my users (on xp) links to the printers via \\servername\printername these days, clicking on such links would result in an error message about how they might not have permissions to use the resource, ending with Incorrect function. however, if i ask them to connect to the server via
