similar to: convert_string_talloc: Conversion error: Incomplete multibyte sequence

Hi All, I have recently successfully configured Samba 3.3.15 and OpenLDAP as my offices PDC. I would like to disable the roaming profiles capability but it appears that no matter what I said, it is being ignored by Samba. First is my relevant snippet for the Logon Path and Logon Home being empty as described in the documentation. Then, following that, is my entire smb.conf -- please let me

Mail file is server is a member server is Samba 3.6.26 on Solaris 11. It had been a BDC but a few week ago a switched it back to a member server. The 2 current DC's had been running Samba 3.6.25 but switched to Samba 4.4.7. This is a classic domain. Some Windows users reported that browsing folders shared from the member server have become very slow over the last few weeks. Which

Thats really annoying because the printing with samba is not possible, just printing directly to cups is possible. The clients are working with UTF-8, the server is working with UTF-8, don't know why character conversion should be a problem here.

Hi. I have some shares on a server that are offered to specific Active Directory user groups, but the business doesn't want those users to be able to login to the server. If I were to add "require_membership_of" to pam_winbind to limit logins and shut out the users I don't want, would it also have the side effect of denying those users access to the shares as well? Regards,

Hello, after upgrading to samba 3.5.6 of Debian Squeeze some printouts will not printed. The same prinjob will printed after a couple of tries.

Hi, Confused and bewildered as usual, so ask the guys who know. samba4wins is now implemented and part of the samba4 package? Is there a configuration guide? I guess nbd_server needs to be part of the equation so could you point to some resources on setup as I don't think I have noticed anything in the wiki? Probably just me :) Many Thanks Stuart

There are definitely some files with some weird names- in an ssh session they don't even have regular characters. e.g -rw-rw---- 1 xxx xxx 114985112 Oct 31 14:39 ▒^t Not sure if that is related to problems though. The top command shows Memory: 12G phys mem, 343M free mem, 2048M total swap, 2048M free swap This is in the evening so should not be much load but I think

Hi all, I am attempting to join a Centos7 machine to a Samba NT4 domain. I have created an account on our OpenLDAP server and ensured it has the default password. However trying to join the domain is consistently throwing an error. >From the machine that is trying to join the domain, I get this (edited for brevity): $~ net rpc join -U <user>%<passwd> -d 1 -I

We have about 40 samba servers in our domain. The two newest ones are throwing an error we've never seen before.

Ok, I finally deployed samba 3.5.2 (upgrading from 3.0.11) on the real server after testing for a while in virtualbox. There's a strange problem with printing: sometimes an application gives an error printing (of course the error message is meaningless, this is windows after all) and/or the job gets lost in transit. After that stopping and restarting the local print spool service solves the

Hello list, I've noticed this problem for a few years now, I think. I see it popped out now and then in discussions. But they always end before a solution is given. So let's try one more time :-) I have plenty of UTF-8 named files and directories. It's UTF-8 all round, I don't use anything else, so I have no doubt the byte sequences are correct in the filesystem (I happen to

Hello all, I'm running samba server ?3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6). The server is set to be a part of the Windows AD domain. The domain name is IIS.
