Hi all, I use this command on my servers to test locally that Samba is alive and well: smbcontrol smbd ping However, it suddenly stop working on one of the several identical servers, and I cannot figure out why. ping command says "no replies received", while log.smbd says that it received a ping message, but cannot reply because permission is denied. Which permission? $ sudo

I've been fighting with a samba install on top of a amd64 Ubuntu 10.4 system for a couple months now. I have a small flotilla of Windows systems running anything from Win 2000 up through Windows Server 2008. All save for the 2008 systems are setup with nightly NTBackup jobs with my samba server as the destination. The 2008 systems are running MS SQL and use the samba server as the

Dear Samba users, Samba tries to close old connections on a new session setup from the same machine, but fails. Those connections result in locked files which the users can't access - i.e. save or open. I have to kill them via "kill -9 pid". smb.conf: http://pastebin.com/bYRFJwu0 smb.inc: http://pastebin.com/JV9KyDyA Using "reset on zero vc = yes" seems to reduce the

Hi All, I am using Samba 3.2.4 compiled from source on AIX 5.3 TL8 and using "security = SERVER" in the smb.conf works fine, however I am having some issues when using "security = ADS" .. I have followed numerous HOWTOs and newsgroup listings and seem to be going round in circles .. I think I can authenticate ok against the domain win2k3 server, but then Samba bombs out with

There seems to be a few people having this problem, but not much response. I've dug into the logs, and while I don't know exactly what I am looking at, I think I may have found something that may make sense to someone. A short recap. Samba was working fine, until I did a Debian security update, which upgraded my Samba to 2.2.8a. Now, I can create files on a mounted Samba share in a

Hi list I am having difficulties with 3.2.0rc1 on a Solaris10 server. After unsuccessfully trying once again to get winbindd to run in our environment (AD, SFU), we resorted back to the old solution of syncing the nss infos from AD down to the Unix passwd and group files by a perlscript and doing only authentication against the Active Directory. Now, I have other problems, however. Going

Debian Woody with security updates Linux kernel 2.2.25 Samba 3.0.0 libc6 2.2.5 The problem I have is with a windows application that uses samba. This application is crucial for the organization, so if this is not fixed, and soon, we will have to ditch Samba and move to a windows server. I *really* don't want to do this, as Samba has been working so well for years now and billg is rich enough

Hi all, I've got kind of strange setup, wherein all of my data is on a big NFS server (RH linux 8.0 running the 2.4.18 kernel and nfs-utils 1.0.1-2.80) and my Samba 3.0.0 PDC server (RH linux 7.3 w/ 2.4.18 kernel, nfs-utils 0.3.3-6.73) mounts the NFS export with the following options: rw,vers=3,wsize=8192,rsize=8192,hard,intr This mounted partition is then re-exported to the windows users

Hi, I've a really big problem with my SAMBA 4.1.11 production server.... it doesn't want to start smbd anymore.... nmbd starts fine but not smbd.

I think that is fair to say about my old accounts where names and IDs do not match. But the crazy thing is it is those accounts which work fine and it is the new accounts where I did make the names and IDs match where things do not work! I am still confused about the supplemental groups thing. Are you saying Samba will not support a mode where 'security = ads' for authentication against

It has been my experience that only the owner of the file and root change change ACLS on that file. Since you've stated that Administrator IS the owner, maybe there's something else. Are you getting any errors ? Who is the owner of the diretory that the folder resides in. Is the Administrator given write permissions at the share level? My work-around for modifying ACL's was to
