similar to: Re: Samba Upgrade on Centos 3 Resolved

After today's samba update, Centos 3 boxes can not use samba to communicate with each other, although Windows and the Centos 3 boxes see each other correctly as do RHEL5 and the Centos3 boxes. The du command works well, but ls, cp, cat ,etc produces the error: PANIC: push_ascii - dest_len == -1 in the server log and smb_trans2_request: result=-5, setting invalid in the client. A similar

I would appreciate any ideas on how to correct the problem that we are having that is outlined below. Thanks for your help. I have been running samba for a long time. Currently we are having problems with it filling up /var/log/messages with Feb 7 10:45:02 servername smbd[2157]: Can't become connected user! Feb 7 10:45:02 servername smbd[2158]: [2008/02/07 10:45:02, 0] smbd/

Does anyone else have one of these on 24/7 running RHEL 5.4 or Centos 5.4 ?? That box mysteriously stops ( no crash data, it just stops) hours or days after boot, with or without X. Cntl-Alt-Delete reboots it without power cycling. The usual diagnostics (memtest and fsck) return no errors. Works great until it freezes. No evidence of kernel oops anywhere. If others report the same issues we

Upgrade to RHEL 5.4's glibc has rendered vmware-hostd inoperable in some systems. I don't know if Centos 5.4 has the same conflict between glibc and VMware Server as RHEL (no reason it shouldn't). If you run VMware Server 2.0.1 make a copy of /lib64/libc-2.5.so (or /lib/libc- 2.5.so) before upgrading to 5.4. If you encounter this problem follow dirkgf 's instructions in

Content-type: Multipart/Alternative; boundary="Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888" --Alt-Boundary-19583.13106888 I noticed that there are no openoffice.org-xxx-2.0.4-5.4.17.2 rpms in Centos 5 update. So I tried to build openoffice 2.0.4-5.4.17.2 (sans language packs) on a x86_64 from RH 5 source rpm. The build bombed after an hour elapsed and it used up about 10 GB of space with an error

In doing an update of centos 5.2 this morning, I observed that the old gecko-libs dependency issue caused yum update to fail because it was required by nspluginwrapper (x64_86), devhelp, yelm and firefox. Also, a firefox (x64_86) showed the red hat splash screen rather than centos. Manual installation of affected rpms using --nodeps (I don't advise this) did not apear to impair the

Hi, recently we upgraded a central RHEL 5 fileserver to the latest RH EL 5.1 rpms, including samba. (samba-3.0.23c-2.el5.2 update to samba-3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4) Now some users have the problem, that opening a word or excel file saved on a samba share takes up to 30 seconds. Today I could verify this on the users desktop XP PC. This problem occures only from time to time, so it may be also a

Hello all, I'm running samba server ?3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6). The server is set to be a part of the Windows AD domain. The domain name is IIS.

Hi All, I have a Samba server on a system, running and i386 Centos 5.1, version samba-3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4. The server is working well, as can share files etc with any issues. However when I try to add a windows XP printer driver, I get a Signal 11 error, and the drivers don't install, and windows gives an error messages, saying that the operation could not be completed.

Hi, We are running a RHEL4 x86_64 server, samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4. The server is running with essentially the same configuration since a year without problems. Due to a hardware failure on the back-end SAN the samba-server was moved to a different machine (same OS, same samba version, same config). At about the same time we deployed SP2 on various W2300 machines (there are in total about 50 W2003

hi all i'm experiencing some really funny behavior on our samba server (CentOS5, Samba Version 3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4) from time to time, our xp/2000 users (our workstations are xp/2000 based) are reporting that while they try to copy a file from one location of the file server to another, they are presented with the the error....

Hello Friendly Samba People, I have a working samba install that allows my AD users access to files on my linux box. The linux box is configured via Winbind as a domain member and uses Winbind as the local NSS. I can successfully resolve both users and groups from the AD.

Hi, We have an office-based Windows-locked publishing system whose only delivery mechanism is to write to a local filesystem, and a requirement for its output to be available to a collocated production environment comprising Solaris and Linux boxes. The 'obvious' solution was to run a Samba server on one of the collocated Linux boxes and mount the share it provides on the relevant
