I want to share my linux printer with my windows laptop. The printer is attached to box with redhat 7.2 and samba-2.2.1a-4. The laptop runs windows 98 and they are connected by a netgear RP114 router. I have been following DIAGNOSIS.txt. I had trouble with the test 2, "ping ACLIENT" and "ping BIGSERVER" until I added ACLIENT to /etc/hosts on BIGSERVER and added BIGSERVER to

I have a quick question about rsync's writing of files. I have a team of people that all use the host BigServer, which is running rsync as a deamon, as a central place to keep all shared files backed up. The "master copy" for any given file is considered to be the local file that somebody has worked on -- i.e., BigServer is NOT considered the master copy. BigServer is the backup

I have been unable to get my Samba shares on RedHat 7.3, Samba 2.2.3a to be visible from my Windows 2000 SP1 server. From the DIAGNOSIS.txt tests (results below) I think that nmbd is not working properly, but it stops and starts fine, and a ps -A shows 1 X smbd and 2X(?)nmbd processes running, I have tried the suggestions there without luck and am not sure where to go next. I'd appreciate

We have some speed/performance issues: We have a 100M fullduplex private network setup to handle rsync transfers to our "mirror" server with a command like: time rsync -e ssh -avzl --delete --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync \ --exclude ".netscape/cache/" --delete-excluded \ bigserver:/staff1 /mirror/bigserver It takes about 20 minutes to check/transfer files from

hi all, i've spent an incredible amount of time trying to get samba working between linux (satan, debian testing, samba 3.0.0) and win2k (lucifer) and i'm at wit's end. i'm begging for help. i spent most of the morning reading samba docs, and have gone from knowing zilch about MS networking to, well, a little something about MS networking. my ultimate goal is to be able to

I first asked this question at the end of October, got a response which didn't solve the problem, and have finally got back to the issue now. I'm running 2.2.7a, recently upgraded from 2.2.0 as Domain Logons for Win2K were suspected to be part of my problem. Anyway, the issue relates to AutoCAD (actually a vertical product called Land3) and a command which works with winXX boxes, but

Hello fellow samba users, I'm trying to setup my samba server on my linux box, went through the installation and stuff, but ran into a whole world of problems when testing it out (samba2.2.8). As I'm reading through the DIAGNOSIS.txt file included in the docs, I got stuck on Test 7. when I run "smbclient //bigserver/tmp" I get prompted with a password. when I type in my

Greetings, O Mighty SAMBA masters. A problem cropped up with our SAMBA implementation, which began when we upgraded the Sun Ultra 3000 on which it runs from Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 2.6. Our NT servers are no longer able to connect the the file services offered from that box, or at best, only intermittently. I began going through the "Diagnosing Samba" document (the one on the web

Hello, When I run the 'smbclient -L apollo' command at the UNIX prompt a I get an error. I have gone as far as I can in this DIAGNOSIS.txt file.

Also, I thought I'd pass on the output

I'm trying to troubleshoot a new samba setup on a tiny network, and I'm clearly missing something. I'm running Samba 3.0.22 on Ubuntu Linux. When I first set it up, it seemed to go so smoothly. I changed all the workstations to the same workgroup (RABNETWORK) and they could see each other and the server, but they couldn't open anything on the server. I don't really understand

Hello all, I have been trying to set up Samba on our Linux Redhat 6.1 server for some time now. (Our clients are all Windows NT 4.0.) And it seems to work, except that it is working only on my machine. When I double click on our server via Network Neighborhood, it prompts for the UNIX user name/password. I can login without a problem from my machine, but if I do the same on somebody else's

I spent a long while trying to get quota warnings working with v1.1.3 on Centos5 before almost giving up. I configured everything as per the instructions on the Quota wiki page however no warning emails were being generated when I tested & no debug messages in the log to give any clues as to what I was doing wrong. It turns out I wasn't doing anything wrong, but just misunderstanding at
