Hi all, We're still suffering here with odd performance issues on our Samba 3.0.24 install here on our big chunky Solaris 9 box. The user perceived issue is slow performance (whilst browsing in Windows Explorer, or opening files from within applications etc.etc.) The obvious symptom on the server is a collection of smbd's at the top of the 'top' listing. 4 or 5 or so taking

Hi all, After much grief today, we'd like to support the 'TODO' note in source/lib/util_tdb.c :- /* TODO: If we time out waiting for a lock, it might * be nice to use F_GETLK to get the pid of the * process currently holding the lock and print that * as part of the debugging message. -- mbp */ It could have saved us a whole-sale restart of Samba if we could have more easily

Running a PostgreSQL database and trying to understand the bottleneck in my setup. I now know there is a fdsync being issued to a database file. This one takes up to 10 seconds. The problem here is that all the other processes are entering a wait state (this is in postgres itself. The syncing process holds a latch in exclusive mode, that is needed by all others) waiting for this flush to finish.

I am using a Samba 3.0.21a share to centrally access my source code from multiple Windows workstations. Everything works as expected (in Samba), but there is a slight (but annoying) problem with the modification timestamp of the files on the Samba share. While I have verified that both server and workstation are synchronized to the same time (using NTP), it seems that there is a few milliseconds

Hi,all I did some test about MySQL''s Insert performance on ZFS, and met a big performance problem,*i''m not sure what''s the point*. Environment 2 Intel X5560 (8 core), 12GB RAM, 7 slc SSD(Intel). A Java client run 8 threads concurrency insert into one Innodb table: *~600 qps when sync_binlog=1 & innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1 ~600 qps when sync_binlog=10

Hi zfs-discuss, I have some questions about throttling on ZFS 1) I know that throttling is activating while one sync is waiting for another. (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roch?entry=the_dynamics_of_zfs) Is it possible to throttle only selected processes (e.g. nfsd) ? 2) How can I obtain some statistics about it? I want to know how often throttling is activating on my host etc. 3) Is it

Hello. I tried the migration from samba3 domain master (pdc) to a samba4. samba4 -V: Version 4.1.0pre1-GIT-2c3a808 I used the wiki entry about samba3 migration as a guide, copied over the data etc. but I have some questions left. fyi - samba3 tdbsam backend. I removed/edited serveral user accounts with Umlauts in Fullname/Displayname. (tdbdump/text editor/tdbrestore) until all user accounts

Hello I heard that there are something to do with secrets.tdb file when migrating from 3.3.x to 3.4.x , anyone could give me a link to this information and any related ? Thanks a lot

Hi! I have found no answare to my opinion, why is unencrypted the ldap administrators password in secrets.tdb when I add with smbpasswd -w <secret word> ?!? This is correct or this is some problem? Best Regards bzg

Hi list, I have a strange permission problem with secrets.tdb on an nfs mounted filesystem. A strace of smbd shows the following lines: ######################################################################## open("/etc/samba/private/secrets.tdb", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0600) = 4 fcntl64(4, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_WRLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=1}, 0xbffff010) = -1 EACCES

Hi, Would changing the domain password (used to join domain) after net rpc join -U user%'pass' change secrets.tdb? Regards, Norman

Hello Is the secrets.tdb file preserved when doing a normal upgrade after compiling Samba ( configure, make , make install ) ? Thanks a lot

I have solved the same problem like Dr. Alberto Benati (Samba user authentication with LDAP, without root access) I would like to ask you whether you have already finished your problem or not. Please let me know your solution. Thank you for help Pavel

I am a Mac user and am only using Samba to the extent that it is installed with Mac OS X. I am simply trying to share files between a Windows PC and my Mac laptop. I'm hoping that the error message below concerning the secrets.tdb file may be meaningful to someone on this list. I haven't had any luck yet with a similar post on Apple's forum. Before I upgraded to Leopard, I

Hi, since samba 2.2.4 (I use the prebuilt Mandrake cooker RPMs) I got the following problem on authorizing or changing a password using 'smbpasswd'. Ever user is rejected, even if he uses the correct password and in my logs the following error messages appear: ------------------------- May 11 12:31:22 pc1 smbd[18130]: [2002/05/11 12:31:22, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldap_connect_system(159)

I installed the pre-complied samba-2.2.4-sparc-solaris-2.8.pkg. smbd needs to write to /usr/local/samba/private/secrets.tdb. How can I change the location of that directory? (/usr/local/samba is NFS mounted. Root is nobody, I could make it writeable by nobody, but multiple hosts could write to it). I am using security = server and don't think I even need it, but smbd won't start if it

It appears that there is some setup missing for handling the -P option to commands (via popt_common_credentials_callback()). I was trying to use the example file examples/printing/smbprint.sysv which suggested using the "-P" option to smbclient. I am always getting an error that "/secrets.tdb" can't be opened. I think that what is mis-ordered is that secrets_init() is

Hi All, I'm fine tuning my home grown IDS system that checks md5 sums of important config files, and was going to put the secrets.tdb file in the mix, but can't find when and where changes are made to this file. We had a change this morning but nobody was logged in to either Unix or Samba, that I can tell. Of course I'm not able to read it either. This is a stand alone samba

Hi, I am having problems getting winbind on a BDC to work in a Samba3 /LDAP Enviornment and have one straightforward question. Should the secrets.tdb file on the BDC contain an entry with the name of the BDC , e.g. where BACKUP is the name of the BDC ?. { key = "SECRETS/SID/BACKUP" data =
