I've got a Redhat 5 server running Samba, and two dualboot CentOS 5 workstations. Until we get a better backup strategy, I'm backing up the workstations to the server via mounting a shared samba drive to /mnt. Trying tar cvf /mnt/samba_share/backup.tar /* eventually yields backing up /mnt, which produces an unwanted loop, including /mnt/samba_share I looked at tar with --exclude /mnt

Hello, I want to access a shared folder on my linux from a windows machine. The smb.conf has this entry ?? [samba_share] ??????? comment = QEMU share place ??????? path = /media/samba_share ??????? valid users = mahmood vb ??????? public = no ??????? writable = yes ??????? printable = no ??????? create mask = 0777 Then I added a user to samba with "smbpasswd mahmood". The folder mask

Hello, I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature... When I use scp to copy a file to a filesystem which forces or masks permissions on new files (in my case a samba share) the resulting permissions depend on whether the owner had write access in the original permissions. If the owner did have write access then the copied file ends up with the permissions specified by the filesystem. If the

Hi all, I have a quota problem with xfs (xfsprogs 3.1.7+b1 on debian GNU/Linux 7 -- wheezy) and samba-4.1.19. If I set a user quota to say 10GB, windows explorer reports a 20GB quota of which none used. If I change quota to x, windows explorer reports 2x space of which none used. So I assume samba is somehow getting (albeit incomplete and incorrect) xfs quota info from operating system. disks

Hi all, I am experiencing something similar to what Andreas described on march 9th. Since upgrade to samba-4.12.0, users can sometimes have errors on accessing shares. Errors can be different, most often NT_STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION, but also "Invalid handle". Just restarting smbd fixes the issue, for a while. The server serves six shares: one or a few may be locked, the other are

Hi Gurus, Can anybody advise me on how to connect from NT to Samba share which reside on Solaris 2.6. Enclosed with this email is a copy of my smb.conf file. Thanks.

Hi list, just for my appreciation: can I plug two harddisks already setting up with lvm into several boxes without losing my logical volume? Cheers, Kamill

i've configured my FreeBSD 4.3 server to act as NT 4 on my local home network, however i've run into problems. I cannot pull a list of users from samba using the windows machines on the network (ie: user level access for shares), however i can log into the domain. i've read through my entire samba book (SAMS publishing) and searched through the samba site, but haven't found

Greetings! If I understand everything correctly, the last release of syslinux supports UEFI, but it can't load another EFI application in this mode, so practically only linux kernel can be bootloaded. Unfortunately, I have a need to dualboot windows and linux with UEFI, and this holds me back from using this amazing piece of software. Have there since been any progress regarding this

New on Linux and Wine. I like most of what I see. Here is one problem I don't understand. I run dualboot Windows XP / Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx with Wine 1.3.6. Graphics - GeForce 9500 GT with Linux driver 195.36.24 Tested World of Warcraft and compared framerates in XP vs Ubuntu/Wine. With all parameters the same (same Config.wtf file with OpenGL set), same in-game options, same character,

I had this problem and I could not find the solution on Usenet that's why I'm posting - maybe somebody more fortunate won't have to spend hours and hours to fix this. Problem: successfully joined Samba to Windows AD. wbinfo -g and wbinfo -u worked fine, wbinfo -t did not: # wbinfo -t checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW

Hi, I have a redhat 6.5 with samba 3.6.9 and a working AD integration. I used the redhat guide to create a share, but it's only working partly. Ie the second group of valid users I add after the comma doesn't have access to the share. You get a popup like access DENIED. /var/log/samba/log.accessmachine shows the same error NT_ACCESS_DENIED. I think it's due to the fact that

This is a bug-fix release for PHP Markdown and PHP Markdown Extra. It's almost identical to version 1.0.2b8, minus the new features introduced in the 1.0.2 betas (shortcut links, markdown attribute support for plain PHP Markdown), plus a few minor improvements. You can download PHP Markdown & Extra from the project page: <http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/> Here

Hi, I just purchased my very first Mac, a 2011 Macbook Pro yesterday. Now, I am intending to dualboot with OSX and Arch Linux on it, however, I''d also be interested in accessing my BTRFSfilesystems from under OSX. I noticed that the btrfs-utils themselves seem to be in Macports: http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=btrfs However, there doesn''t seem to be any

Hi! Im rather new to Samba, so please excuse me, if I'm asking something obvious. Im using Samba in my Home- Lan as PDC for WinXP Prof Clients whith roaming profiles. Since all clients in the LAN are Dualboot WinXP/ SuSE 9.2, I would like an easy way of accessing my files the same way when I use Windows or Linux. Therefore I moved the users "Desktop" and "MyDocuments"

Hi list, I am a bit confused how the time sync between samba and windows should be done correctly. On the samba server I have set the CMOS time to GMT (UTC) and my timezone is UTC+2 (germany). On windows the CMOS time is set to my timezone (windows can't handle UTC, did that change? XP here, but dualboot to linux) and as I issue net time \\server /set /YES it sets the time but minus one

I need to zip the output of smbtar, but it seems to me that the tar extensions of smbclient don't support any zip option; if I'm wrong please tell me and stop further reading :) I'm trying to pipe the output of smbclient/smbtar to gzip. Basically something like: smbclient '\server\share' -E -N -Tc - | gzip > test.tar.gz However I have a problem with smbclient tarring to

Hi, I've read a few threads about the subject, but I am hoping someone can comment on a few misunderstandings that I might have? It seems like doing a tar of the mail folder location then rsyncing it over to the backup location is the general idea. I plan to have dovecot create 6 virtual users using Maildir, located at /var/mail. A few specifics I am unclear on: 1) Someone here gave a

Hallo, folks, in openSuSE 12.1, I installed wine from the Wine CVS Builds repository. I knew it would work perfectly as of my experience on 11.4. In the end, it does! BUT I tried a different thing - it does run the programme, but only for one user! To get the programmes installed under WINE working for every user (one single laptop, different accounts), I tried the following recommendation
