In samba3-3.3.9-40.el4 and samba3-3.4.7-42.el5 there are 3 .tdb files /var/lib/samba/locking.tdb /var/lib/samba/wins.tdb /var/lib/samba/mutex.tdb which are not documented in http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html# tdbdocs. Are they persistent or temporary? Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"

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 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

Is it possible to access the described class in a shared behavior? I''m trying to do something like this: describe "Siberian feline", :shared => true do described_class_instance_as :feline, :name => "fluffy", :breed => "Siberian" # or maybe before(:all) do @feline = described_class.new(:name => "fluffy", :breed =>

Hi, I would like to change the Logon script name attributes of a samba user account to something like logon%u.cmd using pdbedit with the --script option. It does not work because the string logon%u.cmd is litteraly taken as the value, loosing the variable substitution at evaluation time. pdbedit -v output gives "Logon Script : logon%u.cmd" .? When creating a user account without

Hello, I've a Samba Server 3.0.24 with LDAP backend. I've tried to migrate to Samba 3.5 (Version 3.5.2-SerNet-Debian) with again a LDAP backend. But once the server was installed, my XP machine can't connect the domain. The error is : netlogon_creds_server_check failed.

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

Hi, I'm using Samba (currently samba-3.0.10-1.fc3) in an intranet environment under Fedora Core 3. I learned that I have to upgrade to Samba 3.3.4 or higher in order to join new Windows 7 clients to the domain. Hints to binaries for this setting would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Jo

I've been running a samba 3.0.28a PDC with XP clients for a while now. The setup has been working flawlessly. I'm considering upgrading some of the clients to Vista. Are there any known issues to Vista using this version of Samba that I should know about. I all need to do is join the Samba domain and connect to a few network shares.

Hi, there I have a Samba(3.0.22) PDC and 100 XP users. This configuration works perfect for me. Thanks for Samba team. My question is: Is there a way to show an XP user all files belong to her/him on a Samba shared folder? The reason I'm asking, is I want to find all my file on the shared Samba folder. Thanks, Allen

Hi folks. Periodically a workgroup shows up on our network with an inappropriate name. We're trying to find the best way to track this down as it's quite intermittent. We can obviously look for announcement messages (in broadcast packets on ports 138/139), but this must be done on each subnet and we have enough subnets that this would be rather tedious and at best, a last resort. The

Hi All. This has got me stumped!!! I created a share the other day like I do all the time. There's about 10 users in the group. All of them can access the share fine, except for one guy. He's a valid user and has many other share drives on this system that are working fine. All 10 users are using a Windows XP platform. The log.smbd has an entry like this for his requests:

Hello, Is there a preferred file system (ext4, xfs, reiserfs, etc.) for hosting Samba shares used by Windows clients? What do the devs use? Chris

I feel like I'm missing something that must be obvious to everyone else. My Samba server is integrated into AD, but I can't create local groups. Following the sequence below results in Access Denied.
