similar to: smbd using 99.9% CPU with MS Office docs

Hi I'm trying to upgrade from Samba 3.0.23c on FC4 to 3.0.25b from Samba sources. Everything appears to function correctly until an MS word document is opened from a share - the file opens but the smbd process in question rockets to 99%+ CPU, stays there & needs kill -9'ing to stop it. This happens reliably. I have an appropriate strace & a level 7 log but can't see anything

Hi, I have working master & slave OpenLDAP servers the Samba PDC works correctly when using either as the passdb backend. However, when configuring for LDAP failover as per this doc: http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/2000users.html Samba doesn't work & the logs fill up with this: ldap_initialize: Bad parameter to an ldap routine Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1

I'm trying to understand why my group mapping doesn't work in a consistent fashion. I've studied "Important Samba-3.0.23 Change Notes" & chapter 13 of TOSHARG but am still struggling. I'm on 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1 (Fedora Core 4) as a PDC, tdbsam backend. 'net groupmap list' gives this: Domain Power Users (S-1-5-21-1365060548-1276164359-2333037906-31037) ->

Hello, whenever I try to copy a new file from windowsXP (2K also) to a samba share which is NFS mounted on the samba server, I get an error on the client: "impossible to copy file.txt: the process cannot access the file because an other process has locked a part of it" (my english translation of the french message I have !) It worked fine before (3weeks ago) and I think that problem

Hi all, This is my first experience with network file sharing on Linux so I'm looking for debugging advice. Server and client are both running FC5. I've set up my home directory as a share on the server using system-config-samba, everything seems fine. On the client side, as root: # smbclient -L server.domain Password: Domain=[DOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1]

I was trying to work through a PDC problem that I was having with 3.0.23a noted in bug 3964. I didn't know how to apply the offered patch and my distro, FC4, has not offered an update yet to 3.0.23b so I thought that I would revert to a previous version that is not affected by this bug. I forced an install of 3.0.23 samba, common, and client and now rpm reports that I have two versions of

I have a server roark (fedora core 5 with samba 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1) with a home directory awilliam. I'm trying to mount it on my linux workstation (fedora core 5, samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1). On my workstation I do: mount -t cifs "//roark/awilliam" /mnt/roark-awilliam/ -o username=awilliam,password=xxxxxx and when I cd to /mnt/roark-awilliam, ls works, but if I cat a file I get the

I'm not sure that the problem is with net ads join but I'm in desperate need of help either way.

Hi all, I have an odd situation on my hands: * Two CentOS 5.2 boxes both joined to an AD domain. * Same samba version (3.0.28-1.el5_2.1) smb.conf, only the netbios names differ * Can enumerate users and groups using winbind -{u,g} on both. * nss doesn't enumerate users & groups on one (same lib versions, same conf file). //bentis@testukmcsstor1//:~$ rpm -qa | grep nss-

I'm running samba3.0.23 on a fedora core 4 box. I successfully joined the samba server into an AD and shared home directories on the fc4 box. (Actually, the home directories on that fc4 box are mounted from a NFS server) I can access the top level of my home directory without any problems because the permission is set as 755. But I can't access directores with permissions like 700. So I

Hi, I have OpenLDAP working here generally without problems for a variety of applications including the management of Samba. Functioning user accounts can be created via 'smbldap-useradd' with the proper samba attributes being added in LDAP, however... Something odd is happening when I (or samba) tries to create a machine account with 'smbldap-useradd -w test1$' - an entry is

Hi, all together, I'm yust testing Samba 3.0.23a on a Suse Linux 10.0 machine. After deinstalling the Samba-Version 3.0.20 wich came with the Suse-Package, I've installed the new 3.0.23a-Version. Then I've created a very small smb.conf and wanted to start the daemons. The nmbd is running well but the smbd causes the following error: smbd: error while ?oading shared libraries:

Hi, I used to have a working Samba + Winbind configuration in ADS mode under FC4; Samba version was 3.0.14a-2. I joined a W2k domain, and winbind correctly returned the user information. krb5.conf and smb.cong have been modified according to Howtos and tutorials found on the net. One day Samba has been updated to 3.0.23a-1.fc4.1 and it stopped working. No modification has been done to the

Hi, I am trying to create a Samba share on /media/winshare with the owner as amandabackup instead of root.
