I setup my writable shared folders I can view other servers/pcs on the network using gnome but sometimes I need to debug some networking issues and I would like to for example: ping myserver4 ping: unknown host myserver4 Is there a way to setup up linux to use samba for name resolution?

My LAN has a single linux/samba server as a PDC/file server, and several windows workstations. The workstations get their IP addresses from a Linksys cable router DHCP server. I can't get the linux machine to resolve the NETBios names of the windows machines. >From the Linux machine I can see the Internet through the DSL router, I can ping the windows machines by IP address, but

I'm following along in the guide, trying to make printer drivers available from Samba. But when I right-click on a printer in Windows XP and select the "properties" tab, it's disabled: http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=BMeeHijW2w%2FyTvDsjpQbEQ%3D%3D So how do I enable this so the client can upload the drivers? So far I have tried: * Add the name of the user as "printer

Hi guys! when I move a file inside a share (for example, from \\server\myshare\dir1 to \\server\myshare\dir2), Samba manages it in order to make the move inside the server. That is, its very fast because the file never gets downloaded to the client. My problem is that when moving a file across different shares, it gets first downloaded to the client and then copied back to the new location. For

I want to configure samba to produce a common area (i.e. /home/shared) as an assigned drive letter to all users. Thus, in addition to users logging into the domain and having an H: drive for their personal account, they will also get an S: drive (for example) for a common area. How do I configure this in smb.conf? Thanks. Scott

Hi, I have a software samba installed in Kubuntu and I have tried to write archives in samba area. I can read archives that are in samba area, but I can't put new archives in this area.

Hi all, I set up a Samba server (version 3.0.24) names "Lamp" on a Debian Etch distribution. It provides a "guest" (guest ok = yes, guest only = yes, security = SHARE) access to a "share" directory, which works fine. Indeed, I can access \\lamp\share from a Windows machine (named "Ginger") without issuing a password. I can also ping the Linux machine

Hi all Have an installation that is having problems using samba 2.2.5 on AIX 5.1 When I try to use the pdbedit command I get the following What I ultimately want to do is have samba expire and force the users to change their passwords periodically.

Hi! I have got the problem with my guest account. I can`t access to the share.

Greetings. I've run into a trouble when trying to add a new Win7 machine on a domain. The domain is controlled by a server running Samba + LDAP (samba compiled with ldap support), on a Debian 5 OS at the local network. I've added the machine name to the LDAP three through phpldapadmin using the option "Samba3 Machine" on the related submenu and via terminal on samba. Then I

After mounting a windows share via cifs I have came across the same issue as described here: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-April/119813.html "While using vim on files mounted under CIFS, when trying to write an existing file you will randomly be warned "The file has been changed since reading it!!!".

We have a new server running Red Hat 5.2EL. Windows machines can samba to the linux server with no problems, including symbolic links to the www directory. Our Mac OS 10.5.5 machines have a problem with symbolic links to the www directory. On the Mac computers, the symbolic links show up as an alias that cannot be followed. These same MAC computers can samba to the www directory via a symbolic

Wow, this is great. However, we need to use DNS. If we enable it AFTER the computer has joined the domain, would it keep working, or DNS is no avail in W8.1?

Using simple authentication I have been able to tie FDS to Samba 3.x.24. Knowing that the unix passwd and smb passwd are different, dare I ask how difficult it would be to have them sync? Most of my users are using netatalk w/ posix user info and MD5 password. I would like to swing this over to samba without the worries of two passwords per user. I have seen blips on this but not directly related
