similar to: Question about samba domains PDC migration and browsing slowly

Unable to resolve my problem after long time of reading and searching I decide to ask for help to the experts. The problems is that there is no browse list even thought everything works fine. I can share files with others machines but don't see anything on network neighborhood. We use the OpenBSD 3.6 box with Samba 2.2 only for DNS and Wins. Please Help! Here is my smb.conf file. # This is

Hi All: I'm facing a weird behavior with Samba 3.5.10. It's a CentOS 6.3 repository RPM. Samba is acting as a PDC and integrated with OpenLDAP 2.4.23, also a CentOS RPM, through smbldap-tools 0.9.3 (from EPEL). In my network I have Windows 7 64 bits and Windows 7 32 bits. The problem is that Samba is losing local master browser 'status' to Win7 32 bits machines. From time to

Hi all, just today I have setup my box to also be a WINS server and I started getting domain master name query fail messages shown as below.

Hello Samba; I am aware this was a problem years ago... This week I turned up a brand new server to replace an embarrassingly old one. The problem has re-occurred. I expected this to be a problem long ago fixed. I have made the following registry edit to the offending XP machine and restarted Samba. I hope it sticks. I have two questions: 1) Have I missed something in the configuration?

Dear Samba-Users, I have to administer a Samba WINS Server in a heterogenous network. It's a student hostel with about 200 mixed (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) computers. We have a DHCP, which delivers the WINS-Server address to the clients. I don't have access to the clients. The problem is, that the WINS-Server (Samba 3.0.27) looses the Master-Browser election irregulary. I can't

I have 2 subnets. Subnet 1 has an NT WINS server. Subnet 2 has a Samba server acting as domain master browser and local master browser for a workgroup. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 1 (call it PC_A), I can see all the hosts in the workgroup on both subnets. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 2 (call it PC_B), I cannot see PC_A. I

Greetings, I'm having a problem where our samba host is loosing browse master elections to a Windows 2K notebook that is transient to our network. In the smb.conf I have set the following paramaters in the [global] section: local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 255 After I made the above changes I restarted the host and at that time it won the election and we could browse

Dear R-colleagues, I am quite a newbie to R fighting my stupidity to solve a probably quite simple problem of generating artificial data with defined features. I am conducting a study of inter-observer-agreement in child-bronchoscopy. One of the most important measures is Kappa according to Fleiss, which is very comfortable available in R through the irr-package. Unfortunately medical doctors

I recently downloaded and installed binary versions of Samba 2.0.7 on two Sun Microsystems platforms running Solaris 7. One of the machines is an Enterprise 5000 and the other is an Ultra 10. I set up both servers for USER lever security and set all shares to be browseable. Both were set to be in workgroup SUN. When first installed, both machines appeared in workgroup Sun under Entire Network on

I?m running Debian Linux 3.0 r1 with Samba 2.2.8a and I have got printing problems: --- when I print something the job don't appear in the window printing status, so I have no way to check the actual status of the job, or to delete the job from window printer status in Win2K. here is configurations file of smb.conf: [global] workgroup = Gertian log level = 99 queuepause

this module doesn't seem to want to work on anything but a root ubuntu filesystem. It won't work on any external drives or secondary drives just the main one. This poses as a problem for a system with several drives. if i delete on a secondary drive of any sort with any use in a samba share over smb i get the folders placed in the recycle bin but no file. I have a sent copy of the config

Hi, I'm trying to set up browsing across subnets to provide an 'enterprise'-wide (sorry for the MS term ;-) browse list / Network Neighbourhood. I've read BROWSING.TXT, but I can't see how machines on different subnets in different domains/workgroups sync up (using Samba, anyway). On my local subnet, I've set up a clunky old Linux 386 (Samba 1.9.18p8) as the browse

Every now and then one of my lusers sets up a machine which attempts to be a local master and/or a domain master for our workgroup. This sucks since we want our samba machine to *always* be the WINS master server. (we have os level set to 255 for this machine) but appearantly it still loses elections that come up from time to time. The only way I know when this happens is when people come to me

Hi - I'm having some problems with network browsing using a Samba PDC (3.0.22) and I'd appreciate any hints that might push me in the right direction. One of the problems is that I am on a very crowded subnet that is being used by several different groups. There are a two separate WinNT/2000-style domains active on this network as well as an AD domain controller. Here are the

Hello, Whenever I reatart samba on my bsd or my linux machines windows 98 network neighborhood looses either machine, I've got samba set up as a wins server, and the 98 machine pointing to it, but this doesn't help. The 98 machine can see it's own shares, but not the samba server, any ideas? I'm running 98, freebsd 3.4 release, slackware linux 7.0 and samba 2.05 and 2.06. Thanks.

Hi I am a newbie to samba after taking over from a previous administrator. I have upgraded to the version that ships with SuSE linux 8.0 and copied over the old smb.config and smbpasswd files. I can see the shares from a remote SWAT connection and also using the interactive method via a DOS window, but cannot get the shares to be seen via Network Neighbourhood. I am thinking that this may be

I have installed Samba onto a BSD machine. The program to work, however it not being seen on the network through the network neighborhood. What could be my problem? Michael Brown
