similar to: problems accessing printers by UNC path --Help!

Recently switched main samba servers and turned up a problem CUPS printers are all published and can be connected to by browsing the server, but if, as I was used to doing, you connect by entering the UNC of the printer directly in the run dialog in windows. you get "\\server\printershare is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the

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,

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

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).

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

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))].

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

Hi all I wish to run 'Enterprise Architect' from Sparx Systems[1]. The installer runs just fine, and the application installs OK. The main issue is that the license key file is a shared resource - many users can utilise the same license file (legitimately I might add!) at the same time, so the license file is located on a SMB share. The key file itself has encoded into itself what the

For those having problems with Vista, and unc paths showing up empty, I can confirm that: [global] host msdfs = no fixes the problem. This is on 3.0.24 with all patches. Note that I am not using Dfs root shares or the like. YMMV Hope this helps someone. Cheers! -- Richard Potter

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.

Hi, I am experiencing performance issues when using samba as an application server for starting exe files from my Windows XP machine. I have a shortcut on my desktop that links to an executable via UNC path. Startin the link takes up to 15 seconds, the second time it's a lot faster. After starting the application and I wait for some time it seems like my session needs to reconnect or

I have a Samba share that I've created from a Linux box. I've mapped this sucessfully to drive in Windows 2003 server. I'm also able to read/write to it under Windows explorer just fine. It's using user security so I have to enter the username and password defined in the Linux box when connecting to this share. I then mapped a virtual directory under IIS to the UNC name of this

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
