Hi all. Last thursday I've had to restore my customer's pdc from an hdd failure, and by the evening I restored a full working state of server and clients, rejoining all of them to the domain. Next morning the customer called me saying that nothing was working, I looked the server from remote without finding failures and then I went there: I found that clients couldn't find the pdc

Hello, I ran into an interesting problem earlier today. I have a Unix machine I maintain in a largely Windows shop. They use Windows Backup for their backups, and so I created a readonly share of the entire filesystem with one user, "backup", who is an admin user. This lets them back up the entire Unix machine by attaching to the "backup" share, but nothing can be changed.

Hello list. I'm new here, and I'm joining because I'm having a problem wich I can't figure out the solution myself. Here's what's happening: A Samba 3.0.24 is serving files to seven Windows XP clients. Three of those clients run an application with a BDE database. The problem is that when running this application on Samba, it gets very, VERY slow, causing it to hang. I

I built a small embedded samba server based on Samba 3.0.26b. I tested it locally with XP Pro running in a vmware VM. All worked fine, so I shipped it. Turns out the person using it is running XP Home. Here's her note: I have restarted the computer and waited ten minutes and still nothing. All that comes up is the mshome under the Microsoft Windows Network. So it looks like all

Hello everyone, I have two domains, let's call them D1 and D2. D1 is: - heavily modified, cumbersome, Linux RH 7.3 based, - samba 2.2 based, - using the old LDAP samba schema, - implementing Unix services/Windows logon SSO via the means of the LDAP schema with Kerberos added in the picture. D2 is: - stock, clean Linux RHEL4 based, - Samba 3.0.11 based, - using the newer Samba SAM LDAP

Hello All! I am using Samba Version 2.2.7a on a RedHat linux 9 box.Some .php files are stored on the Samba server and Users are accessing these files from windows system.They are using EditPlus to work on these .php files.Problem is that when more than one users are accessing the same file,they are unable to perform write operation on the file.E.g suppose user A has opened a file with RW

Hello list, I use samba-3.0.10 from RHEL4, with an smbldap-tools backend (version 0.9.2a). Everything works fine: domain logons work OK, I can join machines to the domain, "unjoin" them, add users (from the samba server only though, but that's not important), submit drivers for printers as a printer admin, etc. The only thing that does NOT work is adding printers as a non admin

Hey there, After searching for quite some time I'm finally just going to ask the people who know :) I'm having trouble when listing the files on a samba share that's hosted on a Mac OS X 10.4 server. The client is an Kubuntu Dapper Linux machine. This happens only when using smbmount (smbfs) and not when I use Konqueror with smb:// . The problem is that files with certain characters

I have a samba pdc. I would like to automatically assign at next logon a disk share with a particular letter that is the same for a group of users (such as L:\). How can I see with samba and/or windows tools what are currently the disk labels used by this group of users so that I can choose accordingly? And in general, is there any smb.conf or other config option that lets me set a unique disk

Dear samba users/developpers, I would like to make stats on user desktop login/logout and I ask myself if it's possible to do this on the samba PDC. But it doesn't seems to be so easy. Maybe parsing logs or using smbstatus? Is there anyone who did something like this and who can share he's knowledge ;) Or maybe it's ... impossible to get accurate datas about this, I don't

I'm having issues trying to remount any shares using samba. Super Short version mount -o remount /some_windows_share creates a duplicate mount instead of properly remounting. Full details... I have many shares served off of NT4 boxes, mounted via samba on a linux box (RHEL 4). Since long dormant (>12 hour) shares from one server in particular always have problems for a few seconds when

Hi, I have a problem with Samba (although it may be my hardware, I'm not sure). I have a Linux i386 Samba server that I use for storing music, pictures etc in a small home network which isn't that busy. When I stream music to my laptop I get periods of silence which coincide with periods of network inactivity. These can last up to 50 seconds and can be seen on both the Linux and PC
