Hi, I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users put large files on them, e.g. films. Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of unnecessary traffic.

Hi, Recently we changed our samba server to a bigger and more powerful system ( centos 5.2 ) The config file and smbpasswd and other passwd and group files were copied to the new server and it then assumed the same identity as the old one in the dns and ip address. It seems to have gone very well except we now seem to have a problem. There are windows XP workstations that were domain joined to the

Hiya, I have recently upgrade samba to 3.0.1pre1 from alpha3-19. The upgrade went well with no real problems, except ..... I have noticed today that the load on the LDAP server is extremely high. CPU usage on slapd is anywhere between 10%-80%. At one point to day everything came to a grinding halt. The only difference between I can think of is the samba upgrade. This is with an average load of

Is there a trick to copy files via smbfs and keep uid/gid/permissions? Usually uid/gid/permission of a transfered file depends on the uid used when mounting the remote share. But maybe there is a trick/patch whatever ... background: I'd like to use a linux-based NAS to backup loads of files *including their permissions and uid/gid*. The NAS supports NFS (which can do what I want) but the

Hi Folks, Just installed Samba 2.2.10 on my FreeBSD 4.9 computer.

Hi all. I'm being asked to connect two networks, each having it's own PDC and it's own LDAP backend. I would like to know if it's possible to make both PDC's serve each a different domain with a single LDAP backend and having users from DOMAIN1 roaming to DOMAIN2 and viceversa. If it's of any use I have, in the past, set up a PDC+BDC configuration having

Recently I shutdown my RS6000 running AIX 4.3.3 and Samba 2.0.7 and rebooted. Since rebooting, the performance of the Samba server has dramatically decreased. Nothing has changed on the AIX box.
