Is this working as designed or a samba bug? I am trying to chown ownership of a file in a samba share and it results in an error. cifstest6:~ # smbclient //cifstest8/smb8 -U root Enter root's password: Domain=[CIFSTEST8] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.4.0-GIT-e6a5f11-devel] smb: \> chown 65534 65534 file2 NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED chown file \file2 uid=65534, gid=65534 The share is thus

I see strange errors when samba client tries to shrink file to 0 bytes. Samba runs on Ubuntu 12.04, client also Ubuntu. Samba sits on top of POSIX file system (FUSE implementation). I can see truncate is called correctly and no error is returned from my implementation. Any ideas?

I am running OpenSSH_6.7p1 on Slackware 14.1 x64. I haven't modified a stock config. On Linux TCP timeouts are controlled by these 3 files: $ cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time \ > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl \ > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_probes 7200 75 9 These are their default values. I modified them to 3, 1, 1 respecitively before establishing a new SSH

Dear all, Im trying to set up Samba so that linux users can use the new unix extensions to be able to chmod their files as they wish. However I seem to be having problems with masks. Whether using smbfs or smbclient trying to do: chmod 777 testfile results only in read permissions for group and other (ie it ends up 744). Under smbfs it complains: chmod: changing permissions of `testfile'

I may have a deficiency in understanding the procedure for ADS authentication with samba, but most of the server setup works so far. I have bound a Red Hat Enterprise 5 server to our windows domain, it shows up in DNS and ADS, I can ping it, but I can't get samba shares to be accessible to users, or even get the smbclient to return shares properly. wbinfo -g returns the domain groups

I just compiled Samba 3.0.21a for Linux/mipsel/uclibc. When I want to start smbd, it fails: [2006/01/19 12:29:09, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(113) Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,65534) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0) [2006/01/19 12:29:09, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic2(1554) PANIC: failed to set gid The only way to start smbd is to put this into smb.conf: guest account = root But I'm

Hello! I'm having a problem, and I haven't got a clue why it has happened. In my homedirectory (as well as everyone elses) empty directories are created with named for example: "arbst-.6Gp7e1" all the dorectories it creates start with "arbst-." and thats also the name all the clients have (arbst-06 for example). Why does it create these directories and how do I make

Hello, Noticed a couple of problems with the rsync testsuite. I have included a possible patch for each problem (attached & inlined.) The first problem is that on OpenBSD when make test is run and tests are skipped you see messages like this: cat: "/tmp/rsync-2/rsync/testtmp.chown/whyskipped": No such file or directory SKIP chown () After my patch, you get the appropriate
