Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew why there would be so many Samba (smbd) processes running on my SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 system? I found an awful lot of them running, much more that what I would expect given the number of Windows PC's on the network. One of the users was having trouble accessing a file on the SCO system, and that is when I discovered this. I actually had to write a program

Hello, does anyone know if there is a tool in existence that can monitor samba shares like smbstatus but is much more advanced (and runs in console) , I mean a tool that has menues, some search options, and things sorted out nice. A Samba realtime monitor would be the best thing with lots of details and lots of options. I tried Swat, but that aint really a solution to watch who is connected

Hello everybody! Obviously Samba as a PDC and Fileserver for w2k clients is not as easy as I first thought. Soon after setup and integration in a network a problem with the shares and MS Word appeared. Any time a file is opened with M$ Word directly from a share and edited it can't be saved. The M$ user gets the msg that the file is write-protected and on the samba side the file

Hey, I'm trying to use the mysql plugin with Samba 3.0.2 and am running into problems with the password storing aspect of the equation. Specifically, here is how I have the smb.conf file setup: [global] workgroup = SRS netbios name = DustPuppy passdb backend = mysql:mysql mysql:mysql host = localhost mysql:mysql user = samba

Does anyone know of a way to log when a user logs off using Samba as a PDC. I have Samba 3.0.2a and can log log-ons using root preexec on a share all users mount, however I do not know of a way to log log-offs. We need this data for record keeping purposes. We don't use roaming profiles, so using root postexec is not an option as shares disconnect when not in use. Thanks for any help,

We recently converted our Redhat9 Samba server to Debian Sarge/testing. We are running (3.0.2a-Debian). After installing Debian, I itegrated the old configuration files (smb.conf, smbpasswd, smbusers, secrets.tdb) making changes where I thought it was necessary. When I tried to login to our Windows 2000 server using rdesktopl, windows tells me that I've specified the incorrect username or

First i would like to say hello to everybody here, because i am new to this ML. So here is the description of my problem: I began with a clean samba installation from the stable branch few monthes ago, everything was just fine, i have a linux box which was sharing files for another linux workstation and two WinXP laptops.

ehh, just a little remark/note for the mysql passwd backend users and developers... when adding a user, the 'account desc' field is NOT filled in..! when adding some text manualy, and doing pdbedit -v <user> the field showes up, so when reading from the passwdbackend, the fields are resolved, when writting too the passwdbackend , the description field (and maybe more important

G'day.. just haveing the straingest problem.. I'd upgraded to the 302rc1 version. i configed it to be an pdc controller, with wins to manage our local domain.. only when browsing the domain list. it gives error(s) once in a while.. "An extended error has occured" & "the system cannot find massage text for message number 0x in the message file for \\hostname"

just noticed the following problem.. after running samba 302rc1(as pdc) for a few day's. old SMBD pid's are left in the procces tree.. eating memory and cpu time, causing linux to overload and not function annymore. after stopping samba, the smbd pid's will stay. stopping samba the 2nd time will do the trick, they finaly disapear... so you have to stop samba twice.. ?? don't
