similar to: inconsistency?

Even if I can find back a share, (which I sometimes can, for no clear reason) then the next message I get is "no access". I suspect this may be a Linux config thing, but I am still unable to figure what ownership rights I should give to the shares: root:root or someuser:users or samba:samba (this user:group does not exist as yet). What is meant by no access: is it a Windows or a

Hello, * When I am running a backup bash file under cron, I get lots of messages like the following: rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "/mnt/tmp/backup/museum/documenten/secretariaat/vrijwilligers/medewerkersboek en poster/losse foto's medewerkers/oude foto's medewerkers die we willen bewaren/wienk, ari\#303\#253l .jpg": Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide

I am setting up a Win98 client to work with my samba server. I can log in on the domain allright, but then I would expect to get access to my home directory by issuing (in a DOS box): NET USE H: /HOME For some reason I am told that the syntax is not correct. On the other hand net use /? gives exactly this as one of the options. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? -- J.J. Gerritse

Well, I read quite a few documents; thanks for pointing them out... And I got "it" working... The most important point I learned is P_a_t_i_e_n_c_e! You really have to wait a few minutes after having modified your smb.conf and restarted samba. And you have plenty of time to reboot your client, I am not sure whether you really need this, but anyway... it really takes quite some

Hello, * After some good advice from the list, I now have my workgroup visible. Next problem. I click on it from my win98 station (yes, it is old; I even have a w95 workstation somewhere :-) ) and I get "can't find share name". Now I look in the samba logs, and I see that it is looking for /usr/local/samba/netlogon, which doesn't exist. Oops, error! The netlogon happens to

Hi, I am backing up about 500G of data from a linux-based NAS to a USB hard drive attached to a router (rt-n16 with tomatousb firmware). Both NAS and the router have rsync-3.0.9. The router is running rsync in the daemon mode. To test the set up, I rsync'd the files to the empty USB hard drive, then back to the NAS in a new temp dir. Afterwards, I did a local "diff -r" on the NAS.

Hello, * I am setting up a backup on a Linux system with Windows XP workstations. The backup goes to three alternating usb drives, each of which is NTFS formatted. The disks should be virtually identical but they do not seem to be. First, my mount command is this (I edited a bit for brevity) mount -t ntfs-3g -o locale=nl_NL.iso-8859-1,silent /dev/disk/by-id/usb-DiskA \ /mnt/tmp || mount -t

I have posted more messages, essentially to the same effect... had quite a few good answers, but somehow I seem to be missing something ... :-( Well, I told you already about the workgroup DAARO, which refused to show up... I got some suggestions, and, indeed, there it was! I could even log in to it. And then, next morning, I started up my test network, ... no DAARO. However, after a restart

I have sent a few messages already, but perhaps I should start from the other side, and give a clear indication of what I want to achieve. Well, here goes... I am working for a volunteer organization. They have quite a few Windows workstations, most W98, and a few XPs (and, currently, one Vista). There is one Linux server, running Samba, and holding all shares. It also acts as the PDC, and

Hi, I have BIG problem with samba and Active Directory. Usually it can't get sid... But sometimes it works.... And it can connect to AD. Until restart.... net rpc getsid; Unable to find a suitable server sometimes it gets.... --> Storing SID S-1-5-21-232394995-2236763843-2194921025 for Domain SBSMENIS in secrets.tdb I have to make many tries to join to AD...

The subject says it all, I think. At home I have a PDC (Linux with Samba), and I have Win98 and Win 95(!) clients. And sometimes the domain name (workgroup name) is visble in the Network neigborhood, and sometimes it is not. I also got the impression that placing a link in the file NETHOOD makes a difference, but I am not sure yet. The PDC is visible, that is, it can be PINGed, I can connect

Hi, I have used Vegan to construct an NMDS ordination plot. I plotted sites of three forest types with the site number in it. My reviewer has asked me to use different symbols for each of the forest types. Can anyone send me how I can do this in R in simple steps. I have used the options like ordiplot, sel and pl syntaxes that are not working for the question that I asked for. Best, Sinu --

At work I have been given the task of building and testing a Samba server. After several days of not being able to get the server to show up in Network Neighborhood, I think I have discovered the problem. The business uses an audio stream from Live365.com, apparently that is causing the other computers to not see the Samba server in Network Neighborhood. Pinging the server proves

Hi All, After reading the list for a while I have a question myself. I have the task of upgrading a couple of systems and one of them is the office AD infrastructure from a Samba-4.1 installation to the latest stable version. I already did a concept of proof by incrementally compiling versions 4.2/3/4/5/etc to the then latest stable 4.10 and it seemed to work out OK but was a lot of work. I had a

hello, i'm having a rather weird (i think) problem: i have a freebsd 5.4 box running apache2.0.54. i use samba3.0.14a mount_smbfs to mount a share (my documents) from my windows2003 machine to under the apache www dir. the problem is that i cannot access much of the files on win2k3 from the internet. i'll try to explain: apache seems to work fine. samba seems to work fine both

I recently reinstalled Linux on my fileserver (RedHat 7.2), which was running Samba (v 2.2.1a). Now, trying to reconfigure Samba back to its original state (silly me didn't keep a copy of the conf file) I've run into a problem. My win98 machines can't find the Samba server by name, but they can by number. By this I mean: On a Linux desktop, smbclient -L //marvin/ works as

In a directory with approximately 6000 files, several files are missing on the Windows side. If I check the directory on Unix (AIX) they are all there. As far as I can see there's nothing strange with this files en I can't see any connection between the missing files. It looks like it's randomly. A few examples of missing files: FAKTREF.10062005.16 (See debug information)

Hi, I am the current webmaster at WUML (www.wuml.org) a college radio station. We are looking to purchase a new web cast server which we are planning will run IceCast, but it is a little unclear on the system requirements that IceCast requires. I read somewhere that IceCast can run on as little as a 486 with 32mb of ram but that sounded like those specs were for streaming mp3s saved on that

I have a private IP network with one win98 PC and one Linux PC. The windows machine can only access shares if I map a network drive and type the path in explicitly. When I go to network neighborhood the Linux PC does not show up. Both machines are in the same workgroup, so it should be there. When I type the path directly into the address bar in network neighborhood the program stops

I had to setup a new Samba server as a PDC in my job (Samba 3.0) to replace and existing Samba server PDC (Samba 2.2), the old server was running ldap as backend, the new is running tdbsam. I have a lot of bizarre problems when I put both in the same workgroup with other machines. I will give you a list of them: 1) The new server is configured as local master browser and domain master browser,
