Dear people of samba, my problem seems to be a firewalled WinXP in our net. Our Samba is the Debian testing (Samba 3.x). It is configured to hold the browsing list and to become master. The nmbd.log shows: [2004/06/09 08:17:38, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(311) process_local_master_announce: Server PRAEPLAB at IP 129.217.168.62 is announcing itself as a local

One of our employees is having an odd problem with Adobe Photoshop. Files he saves with Photoshop are saved with permissions 777, completely ignoring both the create mask and the default ACL for the directory. Files he creates with other programs have the correct permissions. This has me stumped. It appears I can reproduce the problem at will. Client is Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Adobe Photoshop

After running several days in the same configuration, my 3.0.6 nmbd crashed with the above error (see log below). Maybe there is a connection to this message some seconds before: register_name_response: server at IP 192.168.0.4 rejected our name registration of AK<1d> IP 192.168.0.12 with error code 6. The ip .4 machine is a win2k server, which works (or should work) as an ordinary

I'm trying to set up a Linux-based dialin server on our company network. I'd like to have PPP authenticate using winbindd, if possible. I feel like I've almost gotten it to work, but I can't quite get there. Files: /etc/pam.d/ppp: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account required

I have a share I can't seem to create files on, and I can't figure out why. I get "Access denied" from Windows, and the samba log shows this: [2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293) open_directory: failing create on read-only share [2004/07/13 10:52:26, 2] smbd/open.c:open_directory(1293) open_directory: failing create on read-only share The share has the

We use POSIX ACLs (under ext2fs) with a fairly complicated set of permissions. Each folder has default permissions that should cause anything created under it to also have the correct permissions. What I'm seeing is occasionally a folder will be created and its default permissions are not set. When files are created under this folder, they of course have the wrong permissions because there

I'm sure this is something simple, but I can't figure it out. After a printing system upgrade, my old PDF-writer script (which acted as an lp input filter) stopped working. I took this as an opportunity to rewrite it to work straight from Samba. But I'm having an odd problem -- I can't find Samba's job file. Here's the entry: [pdf2] path = /export/spool

Okay, this is a recurring problem that really has me frustrated. I have a samba server that's using security=server. There are four people who use it. It works fine for three of them, but the fourth one gets endlessly prompted for his password and is never allowed to log in. All are from NT 4.0 clients. What's really puzzling is that when I look at the log at debug level 2, I get the

Hello all, First, I am new to Samba so maybe I will made some mistakes in my interpretation, so be cool. since an migration from my BDC NOVA (from linux to FreeBSD, which also upgraded Samba), my BDC can't remain BDC more that a couple of days. The network it is in is a class-B heterogene network (both linux and windows). The server is alone on the network and no authentification is

Before I go and try to write something myself, I'm curious if anyone has a script that they're using for setting and clearing the MWI on a legacy PBX. I need to pick up a Zap channel and dial #63XXX to set the MWI, or #64XXX to clear it, where XXX is the extension number. One complication is that I've got a couple dozen extensions to handle the MWI for, and only four channels to work

I'm still struggling with this, and people keep asking me why the PDF printer still isn't working...does anyone have any suggestions? -----Original Message----- From: David Brodbeck Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 4:09 PM To: 'samba@samba.org' Subject: PDF printing problem - can't find Samba's file?

I'm running Samba 2.2.3 with winbind for authentication. Much to my surprise, I found I had a need to connect an MS-DOS system to the network. I'm using MSCLIENT to do so. I can successfully log into the domain and map drives on Windows NT servers, but I'm having trouble mapping Samba shares. Examining the log shows that the DOS machine is apparently trying to connect with a username

Hi I actually had this same problem when running up samba originally. Check that the user has a valid unix acount and that you have added that to the folder share/valid users section.

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'm interested in setting up Asterisk as a voice mail system for our Toshiba Strata CTX100 PBX. Our current voice mail system connects to the PBX with four analog extensions. Does anyone have information on how to integrate this kind of system with Asterisk? I've looked at the legacy integration section of the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to have anything about Toshiba systems. ---

OK, this one is really strange, and I'm not sure where to go with it. Here's the setup ... Main box is running Debian testing/sarge with samba 3.0.5. Earlier it was 3.0.4 and 3.0.2. Very generic installation for home, acting as a file server for several XP Pro boxes, and everything has been running swimmingly. Using USER security, with users logging in to the XP boxes with the same ID
