Hello: I've been working for a few days on getting a FreeBSD 5.3 server up and running as a samba data backup server. My goal is to schedule periodic backups of our file server.

However, I'm running into stumbling blocks that seem to involve a problem

We setup a Ubuntu SAMBA 3.5 server and would like it to replace our current Windows 2003 file server. I can manually copy the files over but need to keep all the Windows UID's and GID's but am having trouble copying the files over. Does anyone have any idea what im doing wrong or have any ideas for me to do this? I have pasted the contents of my smb.conf below my name. George

Hey, all. I've got some irksome issues, and would love it if someone could show me where I'm going wrong. First and foremost, I can access the folders, create new ones, etc. But copying stuff from an existing Windows share (with ACLs), not so much. Likewise when I try to assign permissions.

I have a networking problem where I am not certain if the problem is samba or bind. I am still pretty much a nb at linux. The machine in question is running openSuSE 10.2 and is named rd1. I had samba working fine before I started to make it a WINS server and DNS host. I have a small LAN with no real administration functionality. The network is used for simple file sharing and dial-up

I have an XP home (falcon) and an XP pro (tatooine) machine, both behind a rh9 box (hoth) acting as firewall. I've been trying to get samba set up on the linux box. I think I have it mostly working except that the XP boxes won't list hoth under "My Network Places - Microsoft Windows Network - MSHOME", and I cannot access hoth by name at all from the XP-pro box (by IP, I can

Greetings, I've used samba for many years now on various platforms and its worked very well. I'm now trying to use 'virtual servers' to combine several smb servers on one machine and have been following the clear and simple instructions here: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/ch04_07.html (I've also cross-referenced these instructions with various posts to

Hi, I'm setting up openSuse samba on my home network (ethernet) so my linux and the two winXP machines can file share. The linux machine is also where all the backups for all the other pc's are stored. My workgroup is MSHOME. When I start up my winxp pc I can see the linux machine in My Network Places > Entire Network > Microsoft Windows Network > MSHOME However, after a few

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please.

Hello, I'm attempting to set up a daily Robocopy task on a Windows Server 2016 to duplicate a large directory tree -- including data, timestamps and ACLs -- to a Samba 4.5.12 server. This is my Robocopy command: Robocopy.exe C:\source \\foo\bar /XA:SH /XJ /MIR /NODCOPY /COPY:DTSO /A+:A /ZB I noticed that for a significant number of files, Robocopy will systematically identify them as

I've been tinkering with this for days now and I can't seem to figure out the problem. I know there were problems < 3.0.8 with robocopy and a few other programs, but even after upgrading, I'm still have a similiar issue with related errors. I'm running Samba 3.0.10 on FreeBSD pointed to an NT4 DC. I'm trying to copy files over to one of it's shares via robocopy from

After upgrading my Debian box to Samba 3.0.23, I'm no longer able to connect to it from my Mac OS X 3.9 machine. I can still connect from the linux box TO the mac, but not the other way around. I need to be able to mount the linux volume on the mac. I've had to downgrade to samba 3.0.22 on linux to get it to work. My home network is a simple 2 machine setup with a wired connection. My

I'm still battling the dreaded "ERROR 5 (0x00000005)" error when trying to robocopy files from a W2K box to Samba 3.0.7 on FreeBSD. I've been fighting this since Samba 2.2.8 and the upgrade hasn't fixed it for me despite the entries in the changlelog. Now here's the strange part.

I built an embedded box which uses mount.cifs to mount network shares. I've shipped several of these and all are working fine except for one, which gives me permission denied on certain files: root@Mnemosyne:~/mnt/bgrp1/c/Ballance Group Folders/Scully/Client Photos-Scully# cat "Office Pics 002.jpg" > /dev/null cat: Office Pics 002.jpg: Permission denied
