similar to: Maybe not related to Samba - Shares don't show up on desktop

I hate to use that "noob" word, but in this case I think it might be proper. Our company is getting ready to get rid of Netware and start using Samba. It will require that users log in and by doing so, have a login script map drives to particular drive letters base on either their user or group. I've been administering Centos servers for quite a while. I have no problem with

I still haven't installed Samba, as I'm still in the planning stages. Again, I'm new to Samba, and I discover our Windows pro isn't quite up on the newer stuff since it's been years since he ran domains. I'm a little confused about this thing called "SysVol". Reading up on it, it appears a real important part of an AD, but I don't see how or when it's

I'm a little new to Samba when used as more than just a simple place to mount a single user to a single share, but we're now getting ready to replace our Netware servers with Samba, and I guess that means Active Directory DC. As I read more and more about this beast, I keep finding pages that indicate the samba4 rpms supplied with the Centos/RH distribution are not the full version

Hi, I am hoping someone can kick me up the learning curve (!) on Virtualization: We have an old piece of data logging software that was written in Turbo Pascal 6 using a file I/O module tuned to Netware and so it expects its data files to be on a Netware server and will not access them locally or via an MS/Samba share - essentially, it uses direct NCP calls for parts of its data access. The

I am running a CentOS 3 server with a kernel version -2.4.21-40. I typically use Webmin to accomplish mounting varied filesystems, but this one has me buffaloed. We have a Thecus N5400 that was mounted on a Mac and a ton of data was written to it. All of the data was placed in yearly folders with content-related folders below the yearly folders. When I mount this through Webmin as an smbfs

Hullo, all. I diligently consulted the suggested reading on the way in: > Welcome to the rsync@lists.samba.org mailing list!

Hello, I've been Googling and O'Reillying around this problem for the last week without success, so I'm either stupid or it's not possible. My money's still on stupid. Can someone confirm that I can't do what I want to do: - Have a SuSE 9.1 Linux box running Samba 3.0 exporting shares by SMB. - Have users log into Windows boxes running a NetWare client,

Hi all, I am trying to migrate a NetWare file server to samba (on Red Hat 9). My problem is that unfortunatelly samba is somehow painfully slow, when we run DOS programs from it on the client machines. The NetWare server is an ancient machine. P1, probably. The Samba server is P4 3G, 1G RAM, RAID mirroring, etc. We are running and old DOS program on the client machines, and when it's

Howdy All, I am the adminstrator in a school which has netware 4.11 ( five servers in the nds tree )as its main student platform. This has been working very well over the past 6 years or so. The school has the ability to obtain a microsoft solution at no cost ( except for the new hardware required, which is the reason for this email in the first place ). Advice and opinions are sought on the

Howdy everyone, I'm new to this list and new to Samba (although others at my company have experience with it). Anyway, I'm sure this has come up many times in the past but I have several Netware servers that people at remote sites need access to. The clients are Windows 95/98/NT, they all connect to their own NT domain (one domain per site), and they do NOT want to install the Novell

I am using Rsync to backup 4 Linux/Samba servers to a Netware 6.5 server over a VPN. Also using cyRsync to backup XP computers to the same Netware 6.5 server ovre a LAN. Rsync is run from a cron job on the Linux servers and the actual process works fine. However, I have found that when I rsync to the Netware Server from either Linux/Samba or Xp, the file Date Modified is changed to something like

Is it possible to share a Windows Share of a Samba Unix Share? We have Samba running on a Solaris Box, I can map a drive to the share just fine from a Windows 2000 server. Problem is that I want to in-turn share the Samba share from the Windows box. Reason is ... I have customers on a remote network who are only allowed HTTP and HTTPS outbound on their firewall. And I would like to give them

I'm getting samba setup, and it seems to be working. I have PDC/BackupPDC issues to resolve, and want to change things so the NT PDC authenticates users instead of setting them up using smbpasswd. Right now, I can access the samba box from Win98 and WinNT workstation with "manually setup" smbpasswd's. I have been testing performance and am a little disappointed, I hoped samba

Does this list supports the NetWare version (rsync.nlm)? if not does anyone know of a list that does? I'm having all sorts of issues with this ported version on my NetWare 6.5 server. Thanks Jon L.

I'm a software developer at Novell. I have been tasked with porting OpenSSH to the NetWare 6.0 OS. I would like to include my NetWare specific changes,#ifdef'd of course, in the portable releases at some point. Whom should I contact with regard to this? And are there any guidlines I can look at online to minimize any disturbance this may cause to other platforms? Any assistance that

Hello Sorry for the newbie question.. I am new to Windows environment. I have setup a Samba -Version 1.9.18p10 on a Solaris 2.5.1 m/c. I want to hook WIN _NT and 95 /98 clients to it. The Win clients are on the same network and are also hooked to other Netware servers. I am not sure how this is done. I have set up entries for the Samba server in the 'lmhosts' file. The

I have a couple of questions on Samba that I haven't found in any documentation. 1.) How do you set and manage Quotas for user folders on Samba file system? 2.) Dose it have support and connection to Novell Netware 5.1 to 7.0 beta relese? (client to Netware or Gateway services to Netware?) 3.) Is 3.0 beta and final release will be avalable under mandrake 9.0? Please respond to these

Hi, I run rsync, with a Netware-directory mounted on a linux system (using ncpfs) as DESTINATION of the copy. This configuration works fine, but rsync incorrectly sets the archive bit (modify) for ALL the files included in the transfered directory (both modified and not modified). In consecuence, the incremental backups on my netware server don't work. Any help will be apreciated.

I'd like to migrate a Netware 5.0 serve to Samba and LDAP. I'm wondering how I might export the usernames, passwords, and perhaps group memberships to the destination LDAP. If I can get the data into LDIF form, I'm okay from there. Does anyone know how the passwords in Netware 5.0 are encrypted? I hope to bring them over, but reseting the passwords is not out of the question (just
