similar to: Running a sleepy server (was: smbd on a battery-powered device)

I'm setting up samba service on a battery-powered WiFi device. The plan is to have it wake-on-lan, handle request, sleep. Anyone have experience with this? Are there smb protocol aspects that preclude server sleep between client-initiated exchanges? My server won't be awake to respond to netbios broadcasts, e.g. for name resolution. Can I shut off that service, and have clients access

I'm building a RedHat fileserver using an HP LH3 fileserver. I can't get the sbmd running however. The trial machine we've been running for 4 months now has the same setup and works perfectly. nmbd runs ok, but when I look at log.smb, it says bind failed on port 139_0.0.0.0 address already in use. But in inetd.conf there's only smbd on port 139. This is a fresh

Hi, I'm having a grief with Seagate FreeAgent Pro drive connected to CentOS 4 box via USB. The problem is that drive is factory configured to take a nap (spin down) after some 15-20 minutes of inactivity, and there doesn't seem to be a way to disable it. Since it's USB connected, hdparm can't be used on it. Getting the drive out of the case is not an option either, since it

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

Hi, I've been running Samba successfully for several years. I tried running Samba on a new computer under Redhat 7.3 using a test smb.conf where testparm shows no errors. Running "smb start" runs properly i.e. starts smbd and nmbd, but after a few seconds both programs stop running (running "ps aux| grep smbd" shows job running, running "ps...." again shows

Hi all, I have a problem with a CentOS 4 and now updated to 4.1 server, every so often the other servers try to contact it and this not there a retry and it is, like it goes to sleep, I have no problem with the fedora1, RH9 and slackware machines they just never do this. its most annoying.. they all use IP's not names. all access lists are identical, all hosts files are identical, all

Hi. I'm getting messages to the effect: Inetd: /usr/local/samba/lib/nmbd: Hangup Last messages repeat 319 times I start samba from inetd. Should I be starting it as a daemon or starting it in init.d? If starting it as a daemon in in init.d, does someone have a script that can let me use? I'm running samba on an a Sun E450, with Solaris 2.7. Thanks. grant

I can run nmbd successfully, but smbd dies almost immediately when I run it, the smbd.log file has the message "bind failed on port 139 socket_addr = 0.0.0.0.". When I do a netstat -an | grep 139, it shows that tcp is listening on port 139. How do I resolve this conflict between tcp and smbd?

hi, masters! i have installed RedHat 7.2 and Samba 2.2.5. i did everything step by step: ./configure , make , make install , etc... i cannot start 'smbd' and 'nmbd' daemons. i try to run them from the command line or from inetd and i get something like: "there is no such command" all Samba commands are in the same hierarchy /usr/local/samba/bin. i can run other

Hi everyone, new to the list. My apologies if this issue has already been covered, but I am having the following problem with Samba: Using Windows XP as a client, I am trying to see a Solaris system as a server. Solaris is running Samba 2.4.2, and Windows 2000 sees it as a server without any problems. Windows XP, however, generates the error "The network name is no longer

OK, there has got to be a way to work with this thing other than wiping the Domain every time an error pops up. Trying to resolve problems I did a git upgrade and: setup# /usr/local/samba/sbin/upgradeprovision Which provided the unhelpful: Found 3 domain controllers, for the moment upgradeprovision is not able to handle upgrade on domain with more than one DC, please demote the other(s)

Hello all listies. I've got samba4.0.6 running on FreeBSD 9.1. Joined W2K12 domain as member server. running getent group I noticed it takes a long time to resolve groups. The result is correct, but it is inordinately long. With 3.6.13 on FreeBSD 9.1 the return is nearly instantaneous. smb4.conf looks like this. [global] workgroup = TMS3 security = ADS realm = TMS3.COM encrypt

I have two identical installations of samba v2.25 on linux boxes. On one system everything works fine but on the other, copies of smbd start but never terminate. The result is that the winduhs boxes that are trying to access the samba share get locked out and never find the samba server. The configurations of the two systems are identical and I am unable to determine why one works and the other

Hmmm...not quite sure where to go to fix this up.

Nor does the DNS name as it can have more than one DNS name. You need to work with Samba as a somewhat separate entity. It is simply easier to match

Hi All, I has been trying to port the Samba package to uClinux. But our uClinux toolchain doesn't support the fork() call. I must replace the fork with vfork.If we use vfork, the smbd and nmbd can not work rightly. both samba-3.0.32 and samba-3.0.2a have the question. In samba/source/smbd/server.c, the function open_sockets_smbd(), creates a child process and a parent process. Both these

Hello all How do you allow someone in a particular group (i.e. the group writers in my example below) other than the creator of a file (the owner) to set a document as being read only? This is the only problem I am facing with my samba shares at the mo which I need to fix, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope this makes sense!
