similar to: disconnect a user

Hello samba gurus ! I'm using samba 3.0.21c on AIX 5.3 box . I've specified deadtime=15 in my smb.conf file and I'm expecting that inactive sessions ( has no open files ) will be closed after 15 minutes . I'm connecting to samba from my PC ( win2000 ) , minimizing the window and waiting 15 minutes ... but nothing happens - smbd opened by my connection is still running , window

Hi Jeremy, No, I don't mean "deadtime". I mean auto disconnect. Specifically, the command "net config server /autodisconnect:-1" was run on each client machine. If deadtime is a server configuration item perhaps you could point me in the direction of some documentation where that is covered. The documentation for smb.conf is, to put it very mildly, incomplete.

Hello, I'd like to enable my Samba server, either by the correct choice of standard configuration parameters or by custom script, to permanently log off and disconnect WinXP clients that have been "inactive" for a specified period of time. >From my travels around the Web, I've seen this basic question asked by others, but no solutions have materialized.

Hi, we are using Samba 2.2.5 in a somewhat larger configuration: a big NFS file server and a separate box acting as a NFS/SMB gateway. Usually there are about 200-250 connected clients. The box is a Sun Netra T1 AC200 with Solaris 8. Sometimes we get the following (loglevel 1): [2002/07/01 11:48:50, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(615) si17062 (10.2.202.88) connect to service mrd8si as user

We have a new server running Red Hat 5.2EL. Windows machines can samba to the linux server with no problems, including symbolic links to the www directory. Our Mac OS 10.5.5 machines have a problem with symbolic links to the www directory. On the Mac computers, the symbolic links show up as an alias that cannot be followed. These same MAC computers can samba to the www directory via a symbolic

Greetings, I have been looking for infomation on how Samba handle rude disconnects. Here is the test.... #1 - Login to Samba hosted Domain #2 - Turn off the computer; Turn the computer back on #3 - goto to step #1 and repeat Now at some point my login should fail...right? If I try the above steps, after the 5-6th power off I get 'XXXX' Domain not found! Questions.... Does Samba kill

Hello, I stepped through the archives of this list, but could not find a thread dealing with exactly this problem we are experiencing here. Server HP-UX 10.20 Samba 2.0.6 security = domain deadtime = 500 ... that should be enough The win2k clients map a drive and everything is working fine. after a period of inactivity (about half an hour) win2k somehow disconnects the mapped drive and marks

We have an application that has a filed based database and we are having a problem with users leaving their machines running. Instead of going and looking at like 40 some machines, is there any way to drop them off? or.. close the files they have open? We need at least one machine logged in because it does processing on this database at night, so we cannot have all machines logged out. Is

Maybe this has been asked many times, but I could not find it in the list archive (in this case could someone please address me to the right thread?) I've an XP professional client (SP1) connected to a 2.2.7a samba server running on a redhat 6.2 box (kernel 2.2.22). I can log on and access samba shares, but the XP box keeps losing these connections. Log file just tell me that:

Hi Jeremy, Using Samba without Windows seems rather pointless, as no other OS needs it, nor can test it to any truly useful extent. Thanks for point out the man page, which I've always taken as be referring to Samba 3, not Samba 4. I can only wonder why there's a site dedicated to Samba 4 documentation and this information isn't there. If the default deadtime = 0 and we

My expectations are probably wrong, but I had to manually kill a process to unlock a file when I think it should have killed itself. I have deadtime set to 15 and keepalive at default (300). I opened a file on my server in Excel, then shut down the machine. Hours later someone tells me the file is locked. Shouldn't keepalive have detected that the machine was off in 5 minutes?

I have set up an iSCSI ZFS target that seems to connect properly from the Microsoft Windows initiator in that I can see the volume in MMC Disk Management. When I shift over to Mac OS X Tiger with globalSAN iSCSI, I am able to set up the Targets with the target name shown by `iscsitadm list target` and when I actually connect or "Log On" I see that one connection exists on the Solaris

I am confused on the various account creation methods in samba. I am running Fedora Core 8 and Samba 3.0.26a-6. 1.) I can create a user with pdbedit -a I can create a user with smbpasswd -a I can list the users with the pdbedit -L command Where is the file with the users that the above commands create and pdbedit -L lists? 2.) In SWAT under "server password management" I created a use

We've got file server with samba 3.6.6 (debian 7 package) set as AD member server. Users usually connect to it and leave their sessions open. On the next day when they try to open any file or directory on shares they receive message that access is denied. If I kill their session on server they reconnect and work without problems. As a workaround I've set parameter deadtime in smb.conf.

Hi, I currently have deadtime = 15 in my smb.conf. This featured worked good to disconnect clients that have been idle for > 15 minutes in the past. With the 3.0.13 version, it seems to do nothing. As in, it just keeps the user connected indefinitely. Here is what I see when no one is currently at the office and everyone is logged off their computer. Thanks [root@spicy p]#

We recently completed our Samba 3 to Samba 4 transition without too many serious problems but one rather annoying issue has cropped up since the migration. Network shares on our file server become disconnected overnight, whether idle or not. This was never a problem with Samba 3 but since upgrading Samba on the server to version 4 and joining it to the Samba 4 AD domain this problem is

Is it possible to have Dovecot cleanly terminate an IMAP session after a certain time? I have a number of users who leave their MUA (Mozilla Thunderbird) on all night, and I'd like to have them (cleanly) disconnect in order to free up resources after a certain "inactivity" time (e.g. 2 hours). Can that be done? -JP

When a user is not using a samba share, after a while they become "inactive". When a user wants to access the share again, it takes an irritating long time before they get access again. The (windows) application that does the accessing is not responding during that time. There are no drive letters assigned to the shares in a logon script. When I do assign a drive letter to the share (in

I am running icecast2.4.4 on a Debian VM with a python script as the source on macOS on the same computer. I am using a tunneling service (ngrok) to expose my localhost and listen to the stream anywhere. I've tried other tunnels like localtunnel, but still get disconnected at 10 minutes exactly. When listening to my own stream on the tunnel, the client (Chrome, Firefox, mpv) gets
