Hallo, we have a clinical system that generate lot of files that once written are never changed. This file consume lot of disk and tape space*, so my idea was to compress this files. The problem is that it can happen, that the users have to open this files later. Is there a VFS module for samba that show gzipped** read only files as if they were standard files ? Bye Andreas * Disks are

Hello, is it possible to let samba update the DNS entries in our bind DNS server whenever a windows PC connects to the network ? Bye Andreas

Hi This is my first post so please be gentle! Many thanks to the developers of Samba, I?ve used it for years and it is a great system! I?m running Samba Version 3.6.6 on a raspberry Pi for testing purposes before using in anger and a Linux PC! I only need the functionality of WINS for my application for XP and Win7 clients, my PCs won?t be on a domain. I use a separate DHCP server that dishes

My client Windows XP boxes are failing to register with my WINS server (running nmbd from Samba). I'm puzzled how to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Background: I'm setting up BackupPC to back up my Windows clients using rsync. I've installed cwRsync to the clients. BackupPC uses nmblookup to find the client's IP address given its Windows NETBIOS name. I'm

I've got a bit of a problem, which is related to the problem I posted yesterday. Samba is not registering the right address with the WINS server, when it is on a multi-homed machine. The machine is on two networks, like this: Subnet A(128.173.188.0) ------------------------------------------------------- | | |

I have a Solaris samba 2.0.0 box (zirconium) trying to join a workgroup. But, the samba WINS server (medusa) complains: [1999/01/18 07:18:02, 1] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(672) Netbios nameserver version 2.0.0 started.

Hi there, I just got a new machine with Redhat Enterprise Workstation and samba 3.0.0-14 pre-installed. I am trying to connect it to my existing network which has a redhat v8 samba v2 PDC controlling 16 or so win2k and winxp machines. In the nmbd log I get this error 3 times every 5 seconds or so: nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:process_nmb_request(1448) process_nmb_request: Multihomed registration

For the last few months we have intermittently been experiencing some very strange registration problems with certain polycom phones. Here is some background information: I have about 150 Polycom Soundpoint IP 600s, 601s, and 650s spread between 8 servers at different locations. Each phone is on the same network (and subnet) as the server it connects to. There is no NAT or anything else strange

Hello, our samba server runs in security = user mode. Now I need a share people can connect to, even if they are not in the domain. I tried this configuration [open] comment = Fuer Scripte die via Mcafee gestartet werden guest only = yes #security = share path = /san/san-lacie/abteilungen/allgemein/mcafee read only = no writable = no printable = no Browseable = No but it does not work.

Hi All I have a samba server running on solaris 2.5.1. On the same machine there is a ISC dhcpd server which is configured to supply all the tcp/ip information to the NT Clients dynamically (ip, wins, domainname, dns, router etc.). So my NT Clients get only a name and are configured to get their tcp/ip information from the dhcpd server. Now, everything runs fine browsing, NetBios name

Hello, in smb.conf on a share I did set hide files=/*.pdf/*.PDF/*.p7m/*.P7M/ It works on a second level directory e.g. I don't see pdf files if they are in i:\a\b but see them on the 3th level i:\a\b\c Is this a error in our samba 3.5.6 or is this a configuration problem ? Thanks Andreas

Hello, I would like to replicate one file from one machine to a second one with rsync. After the file is copied ( rsync in read mode ), if the file has changed i must start a small batch, if it has not change I must do nothing. What's the easiest way to do this ? Thanks you Andreas

Recently, we've noticed that our Samba servers were no longer registered on our NT-based WINS server. The WINS entries for the samba servers simply expired and were not renewed. Restarting samba renewed the Wins name registration. We have multiple subnets or we wouldn't have noticed the problem: PCs on the same subnet as the Samba server were still finding the server via broadcast name

I suspected something odd and possibly too invasive was being done by the BIND9_DLZ module, especially because of the need to relax AppArmor on Ubuntu. Resolving that security problem really should be a development priority, but I also realize it's a resource and time issue. I suppose because it is not a direct security vulnerability and would require Bind9 to be compromised there is

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask your opinion on how many WINS and WINS proxies are necessary in a routed network. The questions are in the context of using the Samba 1.9.18 nmbd as a WINS or WINS proxy with MS Windows for Workgroups or MS Windows 95 clients. Is it A) 1 WINS, 0 WINS proxies (every host asks the WINS for NetBIOS names with Unicast) B) 1 WINS, n WINS proxies

I try to join a Win 2K machine to my samba 3.0.22 domain. The server must act as a PDC. shares are working correctly, and every troubleshooting steps from chapter 37 from the Samba HOWTO guide also.
