similar to: Setting up Print$ share

I'm trying to use rsync (version 2.6.9) to back up some files. However, a few of them contain Hebrew characters. While I can back them up, the filenames come through scrambled (I don't have Hebrew characters anymore). I've tried the -8 switch, but that didn't work. Any suggestions? Background: The files are created on Windows and saved on a samba share (v3.0.24). I can copy

Hi all, I've recently managed to compile Samba v3.0.24 for OS/2 and have debugged most of the issues. The positive is that relatively few source changes were required to get the daemon working, however, having said that, there are two problems that I'm still having trouble with. 1) smbpasswd is generating a broken password - so password protected clients can't connect. eg.

I need to let my users change their password using PAM to preserve the existing ldap authentication system. How can I force pam to sync the smb password to the unix one. I am running Fedora 7 package on an x86-64 system. I have smb working via ldap and sambasam.schema (v3.0.24) I have unix password sync = yes but it should not come into play as I never plan to reset passwords via smbd. In

Hello all, I am using Samba v3.0.24 on an Ubuntu Server system as a fileserver for 30 pcs. Samba is working nice but I face a problem that I can't tell if it is because of Samba or Windows. Let me explain: On the Windows terminals (XP SP2) I have changed the special folders settings in registry, so as to redirect them to samba shares instead of local folders. Among the folders I have changed

Hi, I'm currently using v3.0.24 in production and all works well. I'm testing 3.0.25 to see if I'm going to have any problems with it if I have to upgrade. I have a problem with the "force group" setting if it is set to a local Unix group. This same setting works fine in 3.0.24 but I'm denied access to the same share in 3.0.25. If I comment off the "force

There is an instance of Ms.Active Directory that has had the 'Services For Unix' applied. I use winbind v3.0.24 to get user/group info from that Ms.Active directory instance like so: -------- begin smb.conf snippet: ------------ security = ADS realm = mydomain.com workgroup = MYDOMAIN winbind enum groups = yes winbind enum users = yes winbind nested groups = yes winbind nss info = sfu

[samba v3.0.24, gentoo w/ kernel 2.6.15] I'm hoping someone has some insight into the following problem that I've recently encountered: Basically, winxp seems to be creating roaming profiles that are incompatible with another winxp client. I've got two sets of winxp clients, which I'll call 'new' and 'old'. Profiles created (and perfectly usable) by the old

An inherited system has the following configuration: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://10.10.10.10 smbpasswd guest What is the purpose of using multiple backends? The smb.conf man page simply states that each backend will be searched in turn but why would one ever use such a setup? Secondly, the man page does not mention the 'guest' backend. To me such a backend implies that an

Hi list, On a share (Windows 2003 3790/5.2) mounted with smbmount v3.0.24 and smbfs 2.6.18-5-686, suddenly I'm seeing lots of "kernel: smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-2, breaking" messages in syslog while, for instance, ls'ing a particular directory. Here's the odd thing - if I do a couple of ls's quickly, the files appear (there are 129 files and 2 subdirs). If I ls

Hello, I am not seeing any users or groups returned when I issue a 'getent passwd' or 'getent group' command with samba 3.0.25rc3. This worked when using v3.0.24 on both Gentoo and Debian 4.0. I am using the same config as before with the exception of the 'vfs objects = readahead' option for windows vista. Here is my samba config: [global] netbios name

Hi, List, Now this works, as expected. Top-posted here for a simple confirmation. Once I rebooted the samba+ldap server, everything started working. So maybe it was just cached ldap indexes together with the cached samba info that blocked the authentication.

Hi all, I'm using openvpn to connect to a public server that has Samba v3.0.24 installed on Debian etch. The connection is over the internet (from a standard ADSL connection to a remote server on a 2Mbit LL). The problem is copying somewhat 'larger' files from the client to the server. Copying files of up to 2 megabyte goes well but larger files fail (4 MB, 6MB, or more). The error

I am having a problem getting active directory domain users to authenticate on my gentoo and debian systems with v3.0.25rc3 when it worked perfectly with v3.0.24. I am wondering if it is something in my configure options. Wbinfo returns users, groups and the rpc call test succeeds. The getent command only shows the local users. I have double checked my nsswitch.conf as well to make sure that

Hi group, now after 6 hours non-stop trying to solve this issue I decided to contact the list! I actually just want to mount an samba share as guest via "mount -t cifs ...", but I alway get a "mount error 13 = Permission denied". I tried the following (and many else) mount -t cifs //172.16.0.3/ebooks /mnt/ebooks -o guest mount -t cifs //172.16.0.3/ebooks /mnt/ebooks -o

Greetings, Before I start digging into making our local passdb plugin work with Samba 3.0.25, is there any heads up I need to know about? I tried to compile the example plugin in samba-3.0.25/examples/pdb, but it fails. See below for a sample of the error messages. If I try to compile the same example that comes with Samba v3.0.24, the example code compiles without any issues? Any

Hi All, I'm usually quite good with sendmail on Centos 5.8 but I must have missed something here. I've not done this before but, I want to set sendmail so that its outgoing mail appears to come from the domain of the network it lives on. Its real hostname is server2.domain.co.uk ( the domain bit is substituted for this post) and I want it to send as domain.co.uk, that is really

Hi I recently tried to install the printerdriver to the samba server (samba 3.0alpha30 on debian) from a windows 2000 client. The APW asked me for a Win2k-server cd for the winnt drivers, although i had them on a disc...which I don't have 2 Questions: 1) does anybody know why the APW will not accept my winnt driver from the driver disc when i comes to install the winnt driver 2) is it

Hi, I have set up my samba server as a print only server. Nothing specific is wrong. The print server is working but I have a couple of questions about using APW to install printer drivers and Windows 7. Linux server: Centos 6 Samba version: 3.6.3 - Default install (./configure; make && make install) I did the usual, net use \\myprinter\print$ /user:root Browse to \\myprinter. In
