Dear all, I regret that I am very new to this tool from the install side. I have so far altered shares on a running machine only. I have (thanks to Joss for some help already) installed version 3.4.3 under AIX 6.1 giving it our preferred base directory of /opt/freeware/samba/3.4.3 I have copied over the smb.conf file from the source machine (AIX 5.2 / Samba 2.0.7) and tweaked the content of

Dear all, I have been given the task of replacing the hardware we inherited from an outsourcing deal some time ago. The live server is AIX 5.2 running Samba 2.0.7. The replacement server is running AIX 6.1 and GNU C compiler version 4.2.0-3. We are not licenced for the IBM C compiler. I have downloaded Samba 3.4.2 (as samba-latest.tar.gz via the samba.org site) and I'm stuck. As a very

[Apologies to sending to both samba & samba-technical lists - but I feel this is an issue to be aware of and an issue that may need fixing] This is what I have discovered with Samba 1.9.18p10 on Solaris 2.5.1: In contrast to smbd which checks its configuration files every minute or so, nmbd only does so on startup and on receipt of a HUP signal. This is not documented in the nmbd manual

Hi All, I am new to R and want to use R to solve search problems (like Traveling salesman problem, finding nearest neighbor, hill climbing). Is this possible in R? To start with I want as follows. Find five float numbers whose sum is is equal to their product which should be 8000. x + y + z + p + r = 8000 x * y * z * p * r = 8000 Regards, Ambikesh Jayal. School of IS, Computing & Maths,

We are moving from a PCNFS client to SMB client environment and hence moving from NFS for our Sun fileservers to Samba. I have seen figures indicating Samba is as good NT for SMB service. However what we are concerned with is: a) relative performance of Samba vs Sun's NFS b) loading on servers with lots of active connections (and hence lots of smbds). Do you need more memory than with

The shared mem size option is set to 102400 by default and change is discouraged: The man page (1.9.18p10) says: This parameter is only useful when Samba has been compiled with FAST_SHARE_MODES. It specifies the size of the shared memory (in bytes) to use between smbd processes. You should never change this parameter unless you have studied the source and know what you are doing.

I have just been upgrading my Samba servers from 1.9.18p10 to 2.0.6 So far as I can tell users have been happy (or at least not noticed!). Our clients are almost exclusively NT 4.0 (most at SP5). Our servers are Suns running Solaris 2.5.1 and 7. On upgrading 2 of our busier servers (for admin - home directories and NT binaries), I observed a considerable increase in server load. Home server

Hi, Subject: Using R for Multiple Regression I am new to statistic but am interested in applying mathematical models to solve biological problems. I have used a linear model to generate the test data. When using this data I expect R to correctly identify the model but that does not seem to be the case. I am certain that I am doing something wrong but not able to figure it out. Model: Y = m1x1 +

On our most heavilly loaded Samba server (running 1.9.18p10 under Solaris 2.5.1) we have got occaisional meltdowns with load average rocketing to 100+. The evidence indicates lots of smbd processes running. Syslogs indicate lots of: Nov 12 12:48:35 zeus.brunel.ac.uk smbd[21572]: Failed to set socket option SO_KE EPALIVE Nov 12 12:48:35 zeus.brunel.ac.uk smbd[21572]: Failed to set socket

Environment: Solaris 2.5.1 Samba 1.9.18p3 We run samba from inetd (no special reason - just how its been done in the past). Then on one server we got masses of Samba daemons running (up to 40 as a time trying to run - load average 40+!), giving following complaints: Sep 28 14:39:06 zeus.brunel.ac.uk smbd[10728]: standard input is not a socket, a ssuming -D option Sep 28 14:39:06

Nguyen Cao Dat asked about this: ERROR! Out of file structures - perhaps increase MAX_OPEN_FILES? As it happens I have started getting them too - on a PC Application server - the cause seems to be lots of files needed to be open to run applications - Lotus apps seems to be a particular culprit, but experiments indicate that even opening help on Microsoft Word opens 13 files! MAX_OPEN_FILES

I realise that Samba is a voluntary effort and keeping Web Sites upto date may not be everyone's favourite occupation, but there appear to be a number of things missing or wrong: a) There is no contact info for the WebSite I could discern - hence posting here. b) There is still reference to samba-bugs@samba.org address - which I have been informed by it, is now dead. So may be this could be

Our usage of Samba is being questioned with regards to being "non-standard" as against Windows NT servers. As the Samba Survey has been defunct for a while, I wonder if: a) there is any suitable advocacy document listing large and famous users of Samba? b) If not I would be happy to summarise responses from those prepared to go public. I am especially interested in Universities and

Current situation: a) lots of Windows NT 4.0 workstation clients b) quite a few Samba 1.9.18p10 servers running on Suns c) 1 Samba server running as WINS server d) NO Windows Servers e) 1:1 correspondance between Netbios names and DNS names f) DHCP currently tells the Windows machines the WINS server. Problem: If WINS server goes down, every Windows NT workstation can not mount anything

[The following is my understanding from doco and experiments - hosts Solaris 2.5.1 and Samba 1.9.18p3, client NT 4.0 - please re-use if wanted] Samba presents a DOS file permissions view to users. That is they can set the following attributes for files: Archive, Hidden and Readonly. As an ordinary user on NT 4.0 System attribute is not accessible. These attributes map as follows onto the

Dear all, I've not got a good starting point I'm afraid, but I was forced to deploy Samba under pressure of failing hardware so an urgent migration was done. We didn't get the IBM AIX 6.1 supplied one running at all, so we pulled down the samba.org version 3.4.3. We couldn't get that working as we wished, but it did at least share. It has been merrily allowing any request to mount

Everyone, I have configured a new SLES 10 server exactly the same as I had previously configured a SLES 9 server. The only difference is the version of samba. On the SLES 10 server, I am running the 3.0.23c level, the SLES 9 server is behind a little. My problem is with connecting to other AD domains. Only my default domain has a valid sequence number. All the other domains are

I am seeing some extremely slow logons to my SUSE servers. All are configured exactly the same. When I attempt to log on, I can enter my domain (AD) account without any problems. I then enter my password and sit and wait for several minutes until it eventually takes me to my desktop. In attempting to debug the problem, we have been able to see millions of calls to the domain controller. They
