Hello I don't have CUPS installed on this FreeBSD 6.3 host, but don't provide printer access to SMB clients anyway, but still, I get the following error in log.smbd when starting up Samba: ========= # tail -f log.smbd [2008/05/10 16:31:16, 0] smbd/server.c:main(944) smbd version 3.0.28a started.

Hello We're successfully running Samba 3.0.28a on a FreeBSD server and sharing files with XP clients. There's only one problem: By default, XP doesn't let the user save the password, so they have to type it every time they reboot. Is there a way to tell XP to remember the password between reboots/sessions? Thank you.

Hello I'm about to order a GrandStream GXP-2000 and a Linksys SPA-921 I'd like to have some user feedback about how those phones perform, and whether their LCD screen displays both the caller ID name and number (The GrandStream BT-100 only displays numbers, which isn't very helpful). Thank you.

Hello, I'm thinking of ordering an OpenVox A400P01 (A400P + 1 PORT FXO Bundle) for use in a old IBM 8364 thin client: http://www.openvox.com.cn/products_detail.php?genre_id=9&id=28 http://silicon-verl.de/home/flo/software/netstation-8364/ Has someone already used this hardware with Asterisk, especially on a small piece of hardware like this, and could offer some feedback? Thank you.

Hi, I've successfully installed Fedora Core 4 as a server with default settings and running KDE. - fedorabox I've entered it into the DNS. I can ping it by its hostname and by its IP. And I can ping from it to my machine by hostname and IP. I'm trying to set up a share on fedorabox so I can copy files from my pc mypcxp (Windows XP) to fedorabox. We are on a AD domain (pdc in

Hello, Sometimes, when a call comes in from the PSTN through our VoIP gateway, the information that is sent to our web page that logs calls includes the original CID name instead of the one that is we expect to be rewritten on the fly using Asterisk's LookupCIDName: ================= ;extensions.conf [internal] exten => group,1,LookupCIDName exten =>

Hello I'd like to configure Samba on a test host running Ubuntu so that I have full read/write access from XP to a sub-directory of the root filesystem. The host is located on a LAN behind a firewall, so security is not an issue, ie. I'd like to configure Samba with no/minimal security. Currently, I can read but can't write. Between /etc/passwd, smb.conf, and access rights to the

Hello I waited 15mn in case it was due to some browsing issue, but the directory I shared on a Ubuntu server still doesn't show up in the XP Net'hood, with no error when starting smbd or in /var/log/samba/log.smbd. Here's the smb.conf I wrote: =================== # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] ;Checked: Same wg on XP workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server %v

Hi, thanks for all the feedback and topics. May be I can/should draw a better picture of my settings and question. We "still" use samba 3.6.9-167 from Red Hat with an openldap backend. I tried from an older posting somewhere: socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536 But there was no noticeable impact. The log level = 2. Thats all I changed

Still having problems with my Samba configuration, even after upgrade to the latest FC5 samba package. Getting "Access Denied" errors when trying to connect with a member of the group "Domain Users" to the MP3s share. The W2K3 server shows that authentication was successful. I can't find any errors in the logs at all, and winbind appears to be working (I can su to the

This seems like it should have an obvious answer, but I haven't seen a clear word one way or the other in the man pages or other documentation that I have read - is smbmount's behavior in any way governed by the smb.conf file? The reason I ask is one of the other sysadmins here has been trying to figure out ways to improve smbfs performance, and he came across the speed.txt file in

Hi there, I successfully connected a windows XP machine with my samba server (red Hat 7.3, samba version 2.2.3a) using SWAT. Problem is that the files on the share aren't writeable as I would expect. Instead, they're only visible as read only. What am I overlooking. Underneath my config file. # Samba config file created using SWAT # from linux (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/08/04

Hello At home, I use my Windows client host without entering a password, and would like to access a local Linux host likewise, ie. without being prompted for login/password while still having read/write access. Is this possible? Currently, I created no Unix/Samba accounts for the Windows user, and the following smb.conf only works in read-only mode (ie. I get an error when trying to write):

Hi i have a smaal problems ... : I have two samba server connected by a VPN.

I am trying to mount a share on a remote machine using a miminal smb.conf as suggested in the Samba HOWTO. Nmbd and smbd are running on the target machine. The calling machine (server?) has the name of the target (linda2) in /etc/smbshares. When I try to mount I get the error message: Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 192.168.0.4 ) Connecting to 192.168.0.4 at port 445

Hi! Maybe you can help me, would be very nice! I'm new to the list and I'm very glad that it exists... A week ago we migrated to samba and since then it's taking very long to save a 1,8MB excel document. On fast ethernet it takes us about 10 seconds, on wireless lan it can take up to a minute, although transferring the same amount of data from the very same machine, that is

Hello I notice I can modify existing files, but not create/delete. I also notice that after saving a file I modified, Samba sets its access rights to 744. nobody.nogroup owns /var/www, with /var/www/. as 755 Logged on from XP as "nobody". Here's /etc/samba/smb.conf: ================== [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = LINUX server string = Samba Server %v security =

Hello XP(SP3) seems to take a long time to update its list of shares after changing the NetBIOS name used in Samba (eg. going from "LINUX" to "UBUNTU"). Is there a command in Windows that can purge the data, and perform a new broadcast/WINS call to get the list of hosts and shares? Thank you.

Hello I'm having a hard time finding information about NetBIOS. Maybe someone here has good experience with this API, so I figured I could try asking here, although the question is specifically on how to use NetBIOS in an all-Windows LAN from Visual Basic :-/ I'm trying to register a new name on a server so that clients can locate it by broadcasting its NetBIOS name. At this point,

Hi I am running a Samba PDC and a Samba member server in his domain. The member server acts as a file server with unix acl's working. Is it possible to get these acl's working under samba to? The docs seem to say, that acl's are only possible if samba is a memberserver in an NT-Domain using winbind. In my case the PDC acts as a LDAP Server and the Member server is gets the unix
