I am less than familiar with Microsoft, so I guess it might be an FAQ... if I click on "network neighborhood" which reveals a Samba server, it shows a list of all shares. If I click on a share, I get a message "cannot find share name". Somehow this does not sound logical to me... what is wrong?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Thank you Patty, It's exactly the problem that I am experiencing. Someone told me to boot with a DOS floppy, I will try that. -----Mensaje original----- De: Patty O'Reilly [mailto:oreilly at qualcomm.com] Enviado el: jueves, 13 de noviembre de 2003 14:07 Para: pedezert at adinet.com.uy Asunto: Re: [syslinux] Unable to lock drive for exclusive accesss Intento que env??a esto: Greetings,

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

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 there I downloaded the latest stable release, and I can run ./configure, make, make install after installing quite a few dependancies, but it does not replace the current samba? Please excuse my ignorance, as I dont know how to tell it to install to the same location as 4.0.0 rc4 as I dont actually know where 4.0.0.rc4 is intalled in the first place. 4.1 seems to install to

Hi all, I tryed to setup an Activie Directory domain using samba 4.1.12. I followed some documentation and get everything working till the I wanted to connect my windows 7 with RSAT in order to manage the AD Domain. The message I receive is : "The client cannot connect to the requested machine. Please check IIS or WINRM are properly configured" this is a translation from the french

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 everybody, I got a problem here with my Samba ADS member server. It functions as a file server and works for a long time. A few weeks ago our Active Directory domain controller failed due to power outage. We fixed it and now an employee reports that he could not use the samba file server any more. I restarted samba service and did the following testing: 1) getent passwd <thisUser>

R-users, (forgive my return adres) I've been breaking my head why R---which i find fabulous, by the way---does not pipe interactive output through a pager (more or less), like it does with help(), or like GNU Octave does with arrays with more than terminal height rows. Maybe it is my installation (Debian/GNU Linux). Maybe it is my configuration, but i don't think so because with

OK before i start, this was something i was just testing while everyone was in training this afternoon. I have never had to deal with subnets before as we only have a few users, but decided to do a little bit of messing around to gain some experience. Basically we have one server (mandriva 2006) running samba, it has two 4 port ethernet cards in it but only utilitising one port from each card.
