Hi Volker, It would be useful if your 3.3.9 build (currently in recent) included the /var/spool/samba directory - it just took me a while to figure out why Samba printing wasn't working on a new EL5 server ;-) Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"

Hi Moray, ? Thanks for your answer. It could help but only partially. ? The script name logon%u.cmd was a bad example. Actually, a user can log on from WinXP , or Win 7 workstations, and I'like to run different logon scripts depending on the OS . So having logon script = logon%a.cmd in the smb.conf generally works thanks to variable substitution. ? But for user accounts that have been

CentOS 6.4 appears to have been shipped with a broken Samba 3.6. The new NMBDSOCKETDIR option defaults to /var/nmbd, which of course is an invalid directory and should not be created[1]. While hopefully they can fix it with an option to their configure script at build time, could Samba itself provide better defaults so that new options like this don't take OS developers by surprise? Moray.

Thanks to all at SerNet for the timely updates to your Samba packages! Your CentOS rpms do not automatically restart Samba after an update, so "yum update" must be followed by "service smb restart". Is this a deliberate design? Most RHEL/Fedora daemon packages include a "service x condrestart" in the postinstall script, so that yum updates can be completely

Hello list, I have been using "smb ports = 445" to get rid of the dreaded "Transport endpoint is not connected" error, and it seemed to be working fine for Windows XP, on SerNet's samba3-3.3.9-40.el5 build. We recently introduced Windows 7 to our network - and the "Transport endpoint" errors are back: Nov 25 17:21:41 experimental smbd[13018]: [2009/11/25

Hi, I'm trying to join a Windows 7 client to a samba domain.? We're running samba 3.3.9 from SerNet.? I've changed the registry settings on the Win7 client per the wiki page (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7). Unfortunately, I'm still getting: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain because the following error has occurred: The specified domain either

Is it possible to access the described class in a shared behavior?

Is "smbclient -M" supposed to work to a Windows 7 machine? Using samba3-3.4.9-42.el5 I get: # echo "Hello world" | smbclient -NM PC167 Connection to PC167 failed. Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME The name resolves correctly, and the command works to an XP client with Messenger service enabled. Win 7 has its own "MSG.EXE" program for that sort of thing, which

A password set from Windows XP requires a certain level of complexity: by default, Windows will not allow a password of "aaaaaa", but it will allow "Johnny1". I've been experimenting with a check password script so that both would be rejected. That worked. However, when I removed the check password script line from smb.conf and restarted Samba, Windows did not return to

Hi there, I'm wondering if there any patch or recent developement that would allow to include a directory rather than a file in smb.conf Something like includedir = /etc/samba/shares.d/ instead of include = /etc/samba/shares.conf Thanks for your help Santiago ------------------------- *Santiago DIEZ* *Director* *+33 6 37 90 81 98* -------------------------

Hi, I've been through a long discussion of this on the CentOS list, where people are quite helpful, yet we've gotten nowhere with it. With smbd Version 3.0.33-3.14.el5 on two different CentOS 5.4 64-bit boxes, "/etc/init.d/smb start" reports OK for both nmbd and smbd, but an instant later smbd stops running, with no errors reported - just fails, no matter what logging level is

I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask about this, but one of my users is having a problem with her files,specifically excel files which she is editing with openoffice. I suspect that she is closing down her PC without logging out or something and so appears to be still logged in. She is using Vista and the server is a Debian Lenny box. Whenever she tries to access the files on

Hi, I am having a weird issue with samba where once a week approximately at the same time users will lose connectivity, if i run wbinfo -u all users are displayed wbinfo -g all groups are displayed However running getent passwd only shows local-users, no remote users are shown.. To fix the issue I have to change the name of my idmap config and restart samba and winbind and everything works

I have a Debian machine running Unstable acting as a samba server. The server was installed a few days ago after a reinstall of the OS. The older installation's samba configs were backed up and restored after installation. The Samba shares are accessible if I access them from a Windows 7 client. The shares, however, cannot be accessed from a Debian client (newly installed amd64 Testing).
