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.

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" ..

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

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

Hi Samba Bods, Sorry for re-posting this one but I got no response to my last post except for a level 10 logs request which I uploaded last week.

Hi, I'm always working on my Samba server, and put the log level to 10 like Volker said in a previous message.

Thanks Volker, I've Changed the values as you suggested, i noticed that the default value for max xmit is much less 16384! Still I feel like the performance is very slow indeed. This because on server, a can make copys arround 8gb/s! and in samba is all so slow and it freezes as i sad many times... Can you have a second look to the log, to see if you see anything strange? I'm putting

Hi ! We updated our NT4 domain-server samba from 3.0.27a to newest available 3.6.5 version this weekend. I've done various testing in a VM to make sure that everything is working under 3.6.5 and it all seems to run well. After updating the live system to 3.6.5 the following log entries occur really often, but users don't have any noticable problems. ( Tried to find matching entries in

Hello everyone, I've been experiencing many problems recently with windows software parsing large text files stored on a samba share (smb version 3.6.3 on ubuntu12.04).

Hi, I'm using samba for years now. Today I got complaints from some users they could not login any more. The PC's they used where old Win98 PC's. Unfortunately I still have to support these. It worked fine for years, though. AFAIK nothing changed the last months. And since I do such changes I would know. I have a virtual machine with XP. To do some tests, I made a snapshot just

Hi, this is my first foray in samba (and newsgroups) so go easy :) I'm trying to map a network drive from a windows 7 pro client to a QNAP NAS: net use s: \\qnap\share I've posted on several forums and got good advice but the problem remains.

The issue is that for most of the members of a Samba share it is not possible to connect this Samba share. This because of the error below.
