Hi, i have problems connecting to DFS-Share from Client WindowsXP. Same configuration works fine for Windows Vista and 7.

Dear Prof Ripley and Don, Thank you all for your kind reply. The UNIX system we have is Sparc Solaris v8 (a 64bit version). The Precompiled binary distributions of the base system and contributed packages are only available for Linux, MacOS X and Windows. The only thing available for UNIX seems Source Code for all Platforms. Could you please guide me to the "Prebuilt versions of R are

Dear All, I am currently using R in Windows PC with a 2 GB of RAM. Some pretty large datasets are expected soon, perhaps in an order of several GB. I am facing a similar situation like Ralph, either to get a new PC with a bigger RAM or else. I am just wondering if R is getting faster in other systems like UNIX or Linux. Any suggestions are appreciated. Regards, Jin

Hello Recently I've been happily experimenting with syslinux, replacing grub and my old bootmanager. All works beautifully, but I have one question - in case of .bss bootsectors - what exactly and under what circumstances is patched in ? With syslinux used as main bootmanager - bootsectors from xp64, xp32 and [pre-syslinux] msdos 7.1 (98se) work perfectly fine when chainloaded natively as

I've been testing DFS roots and I'm finding that while Vista and 2008 Server clients can connect with no problems, Windows XP Pro and 2003 Server clients fail. This seems like it's the wrong way round - Samba usually has more difficulties with recent Windows versions than older ones - but I can only assume that there's some registry/policy change between the versions. If anybody

Dear R-Users, as I will start a huge simulation in a few weeks, I am about to buy a new and fast PC. I have noticed, that the RAM has been the limiting factor in many of my calculations up to now (I had 2 GB in my "old" system, but Windows still used quite a lot of virtual memory), hence my new computer will have 4 GB of fast DDR2-800 RAM. However, I know that 1.) Windows 32 bit cannot

Hi all, I'm using Samba 3.0.6 (on IRIX 6.5). This is just a 'let you know what I've discovered' message really. I've just installed upgrade a laptop here to SP2 of Windows XP. It then started failing to make network connections. After much fiddling about, I tracked it down to DFS shares. This PC can now connect to the DFS root OKay, but doesn't recognise the entries

Hi all, Having just upgraded our IRIX 6.5 servers from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8a, we're now having trouble with the DFS shares that it serves to our site. Browsing (from 'Start|Run' \\servername) shows the folders we've set up. Double clicking on these allows us to go into them and see the DFS pointers. Double clicking on these produces:- \\net\user\homes refers to a location that is

Hi, Samba version 3.0.28 from RPM samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 on Scientific Linux 5. Although I'm finding this problem with samba 3.0.33 and a few others I've randomly tried. Full experiment here: http://xweb.geos.ed.ac.uk/~fgibbins/DFS-tests.txt I've got an AD joined samba server which exports a share to an AD joined XP machine, same M$ 2003 AD in both cases. This share is

Hi, I'm am trying to configure our samba server to use dfs. It authenticates against active directory but it gets the uid mappings from nis via the local nsswitch. I think I have configured dfs ok as smbclient[1] seems to work ok with my minimal config[2]. However I can't access it from Windows XP[3], I get "network path was not found" when using "net use" from a

Hello - I never heard back on this and continue to experience this bug. Can someone help me to locate the patch for this so that I can be sure it's included in my source? It's not happening on every boot, but about every other or third. And just as described in the bug report (the boot works OK, but at the end rather than GDM starting nicely, I get a "fuzzy" screen and the

Hello, a heave a share on a samba server 3.6.3 that is used as a DFS-Root. The DFS Links a working on Client with Windows 7 but not on Windows XP clients. Searching on the internet gives me a hint that it can be a problem with "security = ADS". The Samba server is member of a windows 2003 R2 Domain, and the Unix user info (uid, gid) are stored on the domain in der RFC 2302

I've translated a Windows based DFS tree to a Samba based (3.0.23c) one and it seems to work quite well from Windows Explorer and cmd.exe. First off, I have a relatively big tree. grep dfscmd /root/dfs.cmd | wc -l 1614 One issue I've noticed that tree enumeration and manipulation from a Windows machine to a Samba based DFS root just doesn't work at all. For instance dfscmd.exe

Hi, It's looking to me like the error in the title is the main thing preventing logging into a share via ADS/winbind &c. I see an old note here for someone seeing the same in his error logs: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2007-May/053388.html Ah - this explains a lot. The default for the "msdfs root" parameter changed between 3.0.24 from True to False.

Hello, I'm trying to take a box from 4.4 to 5.0 and doing it via binary yum upgrade. I'm following the procedure at: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-April/013660.html for taking a 4.x box to 5. I've removed any unneeded rpms, and confirmed the state of the system. I downloaded and installed centos-notes-5 and ran an rpm -Uvh centos-release-5 which

Hi: I'm trying to create a group of samba/NFS servers. The NIS/NFS/Automount part has always worked fine. Now I'm trying to duplicate what automount does w/ DFS. A single DFS server would be a single point of failure. I need redundant DFS. I've configured a pair of samba servers, w/ DFS on each one. Each machine has a few non-dfs shares referred to by dfs links. I've

I have been looking into DFS (no R) with Samba and found the page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS) and do have some questions: ?There is currently (July 2014) a discussion in the mailing list in which several users report great difficulties with domain-based DFS in samba 4, maybe related with the implementation of smb protocol version 3.? ? is this still true or has

HiHo If I try to mount a DFS from our Windows 2000 Server on my linux box I only get the top-level structure, all DFS links are empty. How can I mount a DFS? Ciau Rainer
