Hello, * After some good advice from the list, I now have my workgroup visible. Next problem. I click on it from my win98 station (yes, it is old; I even have a w95 workstation somewhere :-) ) and I get "can't find share name". Now I look in the samba logs, and I see that it is looking for /usr/local/samba/netlogon, which doesn't exist. Oops, error! The netlogon happens to

The subject says it all, I think. At home I have a PDC (Linux with Samba), and I have Win98 and Win 95(!) clients. And sometimes the domain name (workgroup name) is visble in the Network neigborhood, and sometimes it is not. I also got the impression that placing a link in the file NETHOOD makes a difference, but I am not sure yet. The PDC is visible, that is, it can be PINGed, I can connect

I am setting up a Win98 client to work with my samba server. I can log in on the domain allright, but then I would expect to get access to my home directory by issuing (in a DOS box): NET USE H: /HOME For some reason I am told that the syntax is not correct. On the other hand net use /? gives exactly this as one of the options. Does anyone know what is wrong with it? -- J.J. Gerritse

Hello, * When I am running a backup bash file under cron, I get lots of messages like the following: rsync: recv_generator: failed to stat "/mnt/tmp/backup/museum/documenten/secretariaat/vrijwilligers/medewerkersboek en poster/losse foto's medewerkers/oude foto's medewerkers die we willen bewaren/wienk, ari\#303\#253l .jpg": Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide

Hello, * I am setting up a backup on a Linux system with Windows XP workstations. The backup goes to three alternating usb drives, each of which is NTFS formatted. The disks should be virtually identical but they do not seem to be. First, my mount command is this (I edited a bit for brevity) mount -t ntfs-3g -o locale=nl_NL.iso-8859-1,silent /dev/disk/by-id/usb-DiskA \ /mnt/tmp || mount -t

I am less than familiar with Microsoft, so I guess it might be an FAQ... if I click on "network neighborhood" which reveals a Samba server, it shows a list of all shares. If I click on a share, I get a message "cannot find share name". Somehow this does not sound logical to me... what is wrong?

Even if I can find back a share, (which I sometimes can, for no clear reason) then the next message I get is "no access". I suspect this may be a Linux config thing, but I am still unable to figure what ownership rights I should give to the shares: root:root or someuser:users or samba:samba (this user:group does not exist as yet). What is meant by no access: is it a Windows or a

Hi all, happily coding along, but it seems a belongs_to record is not saved. # Create some stuff def create_project @contact = Contact.new @project = Project.new(@params[''project'']) @project_contact = ProjectContact.new(@params[''collect'']) @project.project_contact = @project_contact contact =

I have sent a few messages already, but perhaps I should start from the other side, and give a clear indication of what I want to achieve. Well, here goes... I am working for a volunteer organization. They have quite a few Windows workstations, most W98, and a few XPs (and, currently, one Vista). There is one Linux server, running Samba, and holding all shares. It also acts as the PDC, and

Well, I read quite a few documents; thanks for pointing them out... And I got "it" working... The most important point I learned is P_a_t_i_e_n_c_e! You really have to wait a few minutes after having modified your smb.conf and restarted samba. And you have plenty of time to reboot your client, I am not sure whether you really need this, but anyway... it really takes quite some

We have one brand new HP EPC-43 which can see all the Windows boxes, but not the Samba shares on the Unix server. We have many other Windows machines of all vintages including 95, 98, 98se, NT, 2000, ME and XP which can see each other and the Samba server. The HP runs XP, but we have other XP boxes which have no difficulty with Samba. We have a simple network with no domain controller, just

Hi, I believe it's mentioned in one of the docs with the samba distro, that this problem can happen, when you have File and print services enabled on the PC's using a protocol _other_ than tcp/ip like NETBUI or IPX. Samba use's TCP/IP only. Marc Heckmann UNIX systems Space Technologies, SGS Canadian Space Agency

I'm just getting started, and getting quite a strange result. I've been able to mount my (login hal) Linux home directory as E: on my w95 system, but when I try to "smbmount //isdn2/AMDAHL-WORK /mnt/amdahlwork", where /mnt/amdahlwork is an empty directory on Linux, isdn2 is defined in /etc/hosts as 192,168.1.2, the address the W95 box uses, and AMDAHL-WORK is the name under

I can only conclude that Samba is an elaborate hoax and here's why. 1) Setup is more complex than Sendmail (it set the standard for complexity) 2) Even the simplest smb.conf causes trouble 3) You can pass ALL the tests in the DIAGNOSIS procedure, AND Samba will still not let you SHARE FILES or SHARE PRINTERS between Windows and Unix but you WILL be able to BROWSE YOUR SHARES (Just pretend

Believe me, I have tried everytbing I can think of to solve this problem. I will work my tail off to resolve this but I am fresh out of ideas. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Here are the details... problem: server can see machines/shares on clients but clients cannot see machines/shares on server workgroup/domain: golgerth no router server: rpms: kernel 2.4.18.19.8.0

I'm using lattice to draw a multi-panel figure: 5 rows, 4 columns. The y-axis for each panel is determined by yaxs <- list(draw=T , labels=c(0, '.5', '1', '1.5') , at=c(0, .5, 1, 1.5) , tck=c(.4, 0) , cex=.7 , alternating=2

I have setup a small office of 6 win95/98 workstations and a Samba share (SuSE, Samba 2.0.6) on a P90 with 32MB of RAM and 2, 2GB HD?s. File sharing and PDC functions work perfectly (better than any NT machine). However, I cannot get the samba computer to show up in network neighborhood. I set the netbios name to SAMBA and wins = yes. When I go to start => run and type <\\samba>, the

Hey, so i finally got it working thanks to your list (found the right place for EnablePlainTextPassword here, the existing 3-4 matches in the default registry don't seem to do a thing). It was all brilliant. I got connected to all my 4 samba servers. I was happy... 'til the next boot (you know, during installation of system, boots happen). Now it connects to 3 sambas (1 on FreeBSD, 1 on
