I am having some trouble with Samba. It was working fine on an old server with 3.0.21. Now I have updated to 3.0.28 (via 3.0.25) and a bigger fatter faster server. There are two problems. Firstly the new server seems slower than the old one, and some users are experiencing intermittent data loss via MS apps such as Word or Excell crashing. The system runs on Arch Linux, with a slightly

After uploading the print drivers from w2k and pressing OK or Apply... or selecting this printer from the uploaded drivers and pressing OK and Apply, the printer properties window hourglasses and my machine logs fill up with the messages below. The general idea is, it opens the 15 files that were uploaded for the drivers. Then reopens and closes each one, then closes them all. This process

Hi all hope you can help, I have a mixed XP / 2K client deployment, and the samba server is running as a PDC. On most machines I have no problems, but on 2 2K machines and 1 XP machine I'm getting the same behaviour every time I either try to write the file or execute a file, no matter whether I log on to the domain or which userid I log on as. I'm also running debian woody 2.4.19, and

Clients using W2k Sp2 are randomly no longer connecting to my Samba PDC server running 2.2.5 so i thought to upgrading to 2.2.6 but the problem still remains. What can be appened?

THE ERROR IS: THE DOMAIN IS NOT DISPOSABLE AT THE MOMENT! =============================================================== I only have activated Bind9 and DHCP but I

Hi all, can any help with our strong problem: we are using Samba on Linux as fileserver for Win2k clients running CAD software "Solid Edge". This program opens many files and on big projects freeze. We tried configuration: - samba 2.2.3a or 2.2.4 - RH 7.2 or 7.3; kernel 2.4.18, 2.4.19 up to -pre10-ac2 - i686/1GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM - "/proc/sys/fs/file-max" from default 8192 up

I have a samba 3.0.14a PDC on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. With pam_mount on Ubuntu 5.10 users have their home mounted with mount.cifs. I have 2 issues with this setting. First with the evolution email client, when I pop my mails I have the following error: Cannot append message to mbox file: /home/profs/user1/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox: Permission denied The log.smbd shows: [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2]

List, I have a printer on a BDC at the other end of a VPN tunnel, and updating the printer properties (such as loading additional driver files or configuring the paper size) of a printer that is installed on it is very slow, on the order of half an hour for basic operations. Just opening the properties dialog box results in all the driver files for the printer being read. Many times. Very slowly.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I see some strange errors on a samba-3.0.2a PDC and fileserver running under Linux. Every now and then users are not able to access some random file. Windows tells the user that the "file is already opened" or some similar error message (it's an error message in german) The files are varying, I see all kinds of filenames where

I've been fighting with a samba install on top of a amd64 Ubuntu 10.4 system for a couple months now. I have a small flotilla of Windows systems running anything from Win 2000 up through Windows Server 2008. All save for the 2008 systems are setup with nightly NTBackup jobs with my samba server as the destination. The 2008 systems are running MS SQL and use the samba server as the

Hello, I have a question regarding to access permissions. Recently I have upgraded my DC from version 41.12 to 4.1.21. This weekend I have decided to upgrade to 4.3.3. I have noticed that my users weren't able to access the sysvol share after the upgraded to 4.3.3. As a test I have created a new user "test" and I was able to open the sysvol share without any issues. Next I have

Hi, we have a samba printserver 2.2.7 with cups 1.1.16 with about 15 HP Printers. The samba server runs under Solaris 2.8 and is a member of a NT4 controlled domain. Because of some problems setting the document defaults, I tried cupsaddsmb with the Adobe PS driver. The installation of the driver works fine, but some document defaults (eg. download as softfont instead of substitute with

Hi peoples, I have a Samba Server that has had the same config for over 10 months now (read: never had a problem). Just today, I thought, let's Play with Flash MX, so download I did. Start playing around, and went to test my first movie and it came up blank. Not a flash GURU that I am, I was stumped. Anyway. Saved the flash file to my local C:\ (Oh did I mention the WS is Win2k ;) .. and

Samba has worked well for several years - upgraded to 2.2 with Suse 7.2 6 months ago all well and happy. An NT client - logged on as Administrator - that was working with Samba for over a year had its share changed from one user to another - using clear text passwords, the machine was also tidied up. It connects to Samba with the new user's log on and password and NT explorer sees the shares

No one replied to me ..... But, in case anyone like me searches archives in vain for this problem, the answer is turn off oplocks on the share that the NT client wishes to save Office files to. Don't really understand why this resolves the snag and I guess the performance will take a theoretical hit. But with 20 client machines on a 100Meg LAN this is not really a problem.

Hi, I have searched for a problem similar to mine, but haven't seen it reported. Problem: Using offline folders on Win XP, I can: * Synchronize * Work locally on Win XP * Synch back to Samba I cannot: * Open OpenOffice files marked as offline *when I'm connected* to my samba server. I get a "file not found" response when double-clicking in an Win Explorer window. However, the

Hi all, I have a share for 2 groups of users in which I need this behavior: Group A: can create/delete files Group B: only can modify files I solve this with a share rw for both groups, and FS directory permissions are 2770 and groupA is the owner of the directory, and an acl for groupB which is r-x Then the default acl for this directory is rwx for GroupB, so, when something is created here,
