There are definitely some files with some weird names- in an ssh session they don't even have regular characters. e.g -rw-rw---- 1 xxx xxx 114985112 Oct 31 14:39 ▒^t Not sure if that is related to problems though. The top command shows Memory: 12G phys mem, 343M free mem, 2048M total swap, 2048M free swap This is in the evening so should not be much load but I think

Hello list, I've noticed this problem for a few years now, I think. I see it popped out now and then in discussions. But they always end before a solution is given. So let's try one more time :-) I have plenty of UTF-8 named files and directories. It's UTF-8 all round, I don't use anything else, so I have no doubt the byte sequences are correct in the filesystem (I happen to

My users are having a lot of problems since I upgraded a samba domain member server from samba-3.0.37 to 3.5.X. The main issue seems to be a very long delay loading office files (sometimes minutes if the file loads at all) and a lot of read only errors and users not being able to save. I have found that rebooting the client, restarting samba, or killing the users smbd process regains access to the

Hello all, I'm running samba server ?3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4 on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 6). The server is set to be a part of the Windows AD domain. The domain name is IIS. In the /var/log/samba/wb-IIS.log I keep getting the messages similar to: [2008/03/23 09:01:01, 3] lib/charcnv.c:convert_string_internal(265) ? ? convert_string_internal: Conversion error:

My machine is running samba 4.0.3 inside a DomU of Debian Wheezy. Following the Samba AD Howto and running Samba 4.0.3 successfully but with one pretty serious problem.

Thats really annoying because the printing with samba is not possible, just printing directly to cups is possible. The clients are working with UTF-8, the server is working with UTF-8, don't know why character conversion should be a problem here.

Hello, after upgrading to samba 3.5.6 of Debian Squeeze some printouts will not printed. The same prinjob will printed after a couple of tries.

Hi there, today I installed samba 3.0.0 rc 3 on redhat 9. Now I got following problem: "Illegal multibyte sequence" -> and all processors have a cpu-state of 99,9% while reading files...

Hello, All! I found that Samba checks description fields encoding at various tdb files to late. Case 1. FreeBSD with UTF-8 support. At some cases FreeBSD's adduser script can save incorrect UTF-8 sequence to GECOS /etc/passwd field. (Here is example http://www.acc.tula.ru/~acc107_3/samba/miscoding/gecos.txt) When user is added to Samba, Samba reads GECOS field "as is" without

Hi all, I am attempting to join a Centos7 machine to a Samba NT4 domain. I have created an account on our OpenLDAP server and ensured it has the default password. However trying to join the domain is consistently throwing an error. >From the machine that is trying to join the domain, I get this (edited for brevity): $~ net rpc join -U <user>%<passwd> -d 1 -I

I think the issue may be related to the broken trusts. First of all only two people had specifically reported issues which meant for most people it was acceptable. Then I noticed that some directories seemed slower than others. If I ssh'd into the server and checked permissions, listing permissions on most directories was quick (under 2 second.) On directories that allowed

Hi, My output of smbstatus is bugged somehow in the Locked files section. For every line with a non ascii character, the whole string from the character to the end (included) is removed. Hence the line is attached to the next one. Here is a simplified example Locked files: Pid ... SharePath Name Time --------------------------------- 8910 ... /path

Ok, I finally deployed samba 3.5.2 (upgrading from 3.0.11) on the real server after testing for a while in virtualbox. There's a strange problem with printing: sometimes an application gives an error printing (of course the error message is meaningless, this is windows after all) and/or the job gets lost in transit. After that stopping and restarting the local print spool service solves the
