similar to: WINS name resolution doesn't work

Hi, I've recently started at a new company that doesn't have a system in place to map my Linux home directory within Windows. I have my own Linux box (a recent Redhat install), and my own Windows XP PC. I will get no help from a system admin here, so my only option is to try installing Samba myself on my Linux box. To my surprise, I've found little or no information on installing

Dear list, last friday I had a frustrating experience during the update of my samba server. I've been running samba since 1998, now there are 50 users with win2k-boxes attached - the samba server acting as PDC. Becauce of a swap of the old server I finally decided to update to 2.2.8a. What I did (in general): - installed the new server with suse 8.2 prof - Installed the suse-rpms for

I'm having problems getting "Secret is bad" with the command "wbinfo -t". I get good results with "wbinfo -u", "wbinfo -g", and "wbinfo -m". I also have positive results with all the samba tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt. I've tried deleting the computer account and recreating many times on my Windows 2000 Domain Controller (everything is native

Hi list, after upgrading our ldap server, the Domain Admins group doesn't work anymore. Members of the domain admins group don't have any special rights on the workstations (for example, they cannot even change the date of a machine in the domain anymore). When I lookup the group members I get:

Is there any support for having a UNIX share accessible from a Windows XP machine? If so, what else must I tweak? Any help would be apreciated. Thanks

Greetings! Tonight is unfortunately the first small bit of time I've had to even try to get Samba configured between my Vista and my Linux FC4. (My mother as well as my extremely limited home time dealing with important things are my main delays.) It's not going well. :-) I have added hosts allow with 192.168.1 and 192.168.2. I have experimented with a few things. I

Hi, I have Samba up and running as well as winbind. I have ran some tests to confirm that yes indeed winbind is able to query the Windows NT 4.0 PDC for user/group/password information. However I am having difficulty understanding how to set shares up in samba so that I can apply permissions to them using my Windows user information rather than creating each user on samba with the same password

I have Samba 2.2.8 running on Debian Woody for S390. I am trying to connect via the wins server list that is on a win 2000 wins server, but I don't see my linux server in the list. I can ping and search and find the server by name. I looked in the log.nmdb for messages, but the file is not being created. Following is my smb.conf file # Samba config file created using SWAT # from

Greetings Earthlings: I finally convinced the LAN guy to remove NetBlooie from our windoze clients. I also made the samba box the local and master browser (we have no NT boxes at the moment). Local browsing seems to have gotten faster (at least Mr. Robinson's Network Neighborhood resolves faster). However, our LAN is isolated (windoze clients dial out to get to the internet, retrieve

Hi I am a new bee to Linux in general. Please accept my apologies if the question is not appropriate. I have a LAN with 2 computers: One is CentOS and one is Windows XP. I am trying to transfer file between 2 computers using LAN. Can you please tell me how to do it? I have tried Samba from the Applications menu. Add a directory in there. Set it to Read only and Allow access to everyone. I

After updating Samba from 3.0.20 to 3.0.21c NMDB is only bound to my NIC's IP but no longer to 127.0.0.1 though my smb.conf parameters are interfaces = 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0 bind interfaces only = yes As a result SWAT does not show the status of NMDB any longer. Any idea which parameters are different to 3.0.20 or is this a bug in 3.0.21c?

Hey everyone, I haven't seen an issue quite like mine, so I am hoping anyone who used the Polycom 601's may have an idea. We are going to be switching our office over to Asterisk. All the phones are going to be 601's, I am going to set up a boot server, but for now I am just going to test everything on one phone. My question is I have the phone registered in Asterisk (phone icon

Dear Arnaud, Now I started to write a driver that simulates continous power breaks. (E.g. in every 30 minutes.) This could be used for testing of setup of client upsmons. I have to simulate a behaviour of a real UPS. The physical model contains an extra attribute: the charging current that needed to compute recharge time and actual battery charge during the recharge process. Can we call this

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

Hi, I am getting an error when trying to mount a drive on a win2000 server. unknown host "domain controller" ignoring "domain controller" Session Setup Failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (access denied.) SMB Connection Failed I do not know if this is a known win2000 server problem or not. I can connect to my NT4.0 server?s fine. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks -miket

Hi, I'd like to get a rough idea on how much work it would be to port Samba to a non-unix platform. My plan was to use a slimmed-down samba to read and write files on a particularly unfriendly piece of proprietary hardware we use at work. I'm fine with a minimalistic samba as this port would be for internal, single-developer use and not intended for file serving in general. Here are some

Hi everyone, I'm new in this list and I hope I'll write my problem in a right way. So, this is my problem: Every an undefined time (It could be 5 min or 20 min) my pc restarts the samba service and It writes this line on the screen: "Reloading /etc/samba/smb.conf smdb only" I have Ubuntu Server 9.10 x32. I am looking for fix this problem for a long time but I don't know
