Hello Everyone, I have a few users that are complaining about the "slowness" of copying files to and saving files directly to the Samba server. From my own recollections, the speed is rather identical to the speed we experienced on our old Windows NT 4.0 fileserver. One thing that could be the impetus of this issue is that Samba is serving up files, for opening and copying from the

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that

Hello Everyone, I have a slight issue with configuring a PDF printer on my Samba servers. I have input the following into my smb.conf file and it does create the printer as well as work to create PDF files, except that it only functions when "printing" to that printer via Excel 2002. If I attempt it with anything else, even the Windows Test print, it fails. Now, in the Windows

What about this: How can I set a parameter (valid user) in the shared folder (smb.conf) in order to it can authenticate the users in the PDC? because I can only do this with the Linux users. Thanks in advance Leonardo

Hello All, I have been doing some research to find a method to increase the performance of writes to the hard drives in my servers. I am running Samba and all writes to the server hard drives are taking at least 3 to 10 times (It varies) the amount of time it took to write such files on our older Windows NT 4.0 File Server. The following information is provided to keep this issue on track...

Hi all Got a couple of errors in the logs wondering what they mean??? Google does not come up with too much on these NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE, NT_STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION, NT_STATUS_INVALID_LEVEL and NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND. Four clips illustrating the above are below... I have am wondering how I sort this out. I am particularly worried about the NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE. All the

Hello I have a problem with setting up Samba as a AD member server. Environment: Linux tux 2.2.20-idepci (Debian Woody) samba 2.2.8-1.woody samba-common 2.2.8-1.woody smbclient 2.2.8-1.woody (samba from people.samba.org/~peloy/samba) Smb.conf: ---cut--- [global] printer driver file = /etc/samba/printers.def encrypt passwords

Situation -- Samba 2.2.5, RedHat Linux 8.0 Domain -- W2K AD After boot, I can go into Network Neighborhood, and I can see the name of the computer. When I double click on it it's unaccessible. Also, I can't see the network from the Linux box, I can ping it all, but I can't see it. Where is the "network neighborhood" in Linux? Also, the big question... I need, (upon

I believe that your issue is related to UNIX permissions. The location of your profiles directory must be set to allow all users R/W to it. Create a new group in your group file and add every user to it. Then change the ownership of the profiles directory. Also make sure that all of your users have R/W permissions on that directory.

Hi, I wanna Samba to work as a PDC.... Many people told me that the administration is a pain in the ass.... If I use LDAP as a user repository should I improve the administration???

We replaced our Win2k PDC with a Samba PDC and have all Windows clients are connecting. But we are having difficulty logging on with the Linux and Unix servers to this domain. Is there something that must be done differently for them to connect?

Hello, I have an annoying little issue. I am currently running Samba 2.2.5-10 as a Primary Domain Controller and have a number of shared drives with a variety of differing users and user rights all over the place. In my smb.conf file, I have the following share: [emergpo] path = /share/purchasing/emergpo force directory mode = 0770 create mode = 0770

Hello Johan, I'm having the same problems with DFS and WinXP clients since I upgraded to 2.2.8. I tried to clear the cache on the client side with dfsutil.exe that comes with the Win2000 SP2 but to no avail. Can anyone else confirm this problem? It's also strange that on the WinXP clients the version of the samba server is still registered as a previous version (2.2.6 or 2.2.7).

Additional Info... I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what I am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course, it also mentions the name of the PDC. If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done. However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC. With a Samba BDC, should I leave the

Hello, today i deleted the user "nobody" (entry "nobody:x:99:99:Nobody:/:/sbin/nologin" in /etc/passwd) on my samba-server. As result, no user could log in to domain anymore. Does anybody know, what the user "nobody" plays for a role in samba? Gerd M?ller, St. Petersburg -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

Hi, I wounder if someone else had this same problem that I have, and solved it. So here it goes... I have 15 WinXP Pro workstations, on a Domain controlled by a Samba 2.2.8.

Hello, I have a few ideas about how to make my Linux server mount up a shared folder on a Windows machine at boot time, however I would like to know if there are other methods of getting it to work. I have considered building a startup script with a high number to have the system smbmount the shared drive like a service, in case of a power outage. I believe that would be considered

I have this problem: there is a subnet 192.168.6.0/24 and the gateway is 192.168.6.1 which has also another nic 172.21.13.123 which belongs to subnet 172.21.13.0 where the PDC of NT-domain is. GW does NAT and it causes that computers/users in subnet 192.168.6.0 cant logon to NT-domain. Is it possible to put Samba in GW machine so that it can be a backup domain controller in NT-domain and it uses
