similar to: WinPopup to Windows 7?

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 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

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"

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?

After upgrading from samba3-3.3.10-40.el5.i386.rpm to samba3-3.4.7-42.el5.i386.rpm, I'm seeing a lot of [2010/05/05 11:06:42, 1] smbd/vfs.c:932(check_reduced_name) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for addrbook/CVS [2010/05/05 11:06:42, 1] smbd/vfs.c:932(check_reduced_name) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for beta/CVS [2010/05/05 11:06:42, 1]

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

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, I have a linux (redhat 6.0) print server and I am running samba 2.0.3-8 serving win95 machines. I would like the print server to send a message to the win95 when a print job is completed. To do that, I run winpopup on win95. However, if win95 users close winpopup, they do not receive any message. Is there any more realiable method to communicate with win95 machines? I would appreciate any

Before I start I should say that I will pay $2000US to get the information or code I seek. I need code or protocol specs to be able to send winpopup messages. It cannot be done via mail slots because it has to work over the internet at large. If you type in "net send x.x.x.x hello" on any windows nt or xp machines it will send a winpopup using UDP ports 137 and then 135 (also 1031 and

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* -------------------------

I want to use smbclient -M to send new mail notification to unix users. I have some of our workstations running smbd from inetd and am using the "message command" option quite successfully. What I was wondering is, has someone implemented the winpopup reception end in a form that would be more efficient than using full blown smbd? Am I making myself clear? Perhaps if someone could

Can Samba be used to generated WinPopUp RPC calls on TCP port 135? I am familiar with using the "smbclient -M" command to send messages using the Win Popup protocol, otherwise known as Windows Messenger Service, or what a Microsoft user does from a DOS prompt as a "net send" command. WinPopup can be generated either via Microsoft file sharing protocols, using the

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

Just wondering if there is a way to send a WinPopup message to a user (using username). I have had a look at smbclient but it appears to only allow sending messages to a computer name. Thanks in advance, Russell Kliese
