Re: [Samba] Failed to create Users problem. PLUS further evidence
Hi, Felipe Augusto van de Wiel wrote: Hmmm... the builtin groups changed a little bit in the course of Samba releases, did you check Release Notes or your FC packages about that? If I'm not wrong this happened on 3.0.23 Assuming that's true, how would I change things to get this problem to go away? Add some kind of group mapping or something? How does one go about doing that? I may try verifying that 3.0.23 introduced this issue by rolling back samba to its previous version (whatever it was). We'll see. ALSO My Windows XP client also dual-boots into Fedora 7 as well, and from Fedora 7 on the workstation I can access the samba shares: $ smbclient -L //www Password: Anonymous login successful Domain=[HOME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7] Sharename Type Comment - --- homes Disk Home Directories files Disk IPC$IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version 3.0.25b-2.fc7) Anonymous login successful Domain=[HOME] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7] Server Comment ---- WWW Samba Server Version 3.0.25b-2.fc7 WorkgroupMaster ---- HOME WWW But for some strange reason, the same machine in Windows cannot see the www machine at all. My question is now: What reason would there be for the client to be able to connect to samba from Linux but not from Windows? I am going to hook up wireshark and watch what's going on at the network level when I get a free moment. In the meantime, any suggestions whatsoever are welcome.

[Samba] Failed to create Users problem.
Hi everybody, I have been struggling to get my Windows XP box to be able to access my samba server. When samba starts, I see the following my my /var/log/samba/log.smb file: smbd version 3.0.25b-2.fc7 started. Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2007 [2007/07/31 20:22:43, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2007/07/31 20:22:43, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [2007/07/31 20:22:43, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2007/07/31 20:22:43, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users Through various Google searches, I have found that when people say they get this error, it means samba will not work at all. Though samba does stay running: # ps aux | grep mbd root 4428 0.0 0.1 8996 1288 ?Ss 20:22 0:00 nmbd -D root 4679 0.0 0.2 13704 2236 ?Ss 21:09 0:00 smbd -D root 4681 0.0 0.0 13704 924 ?S21:09 0:00 smbd -D When I try to access \\www in Explorer from my XP box, I get an alert that says, Windows cannot find '\\www'. Check the spelling and try again, [etc...] (same when I try by IP). When I access smb:/ and navigate through the tree in Konqueror on the samba server itself, everything works fine. I can ping back-and-forth between the two machines by name and IP just fine. My passwords seem in order: # pdbedit -L daryl:500:Daryl Beattie tv:522:Television My workgroup is named home on both client and server, my hostname matches my netbios name (as defined in smb.conf, it is www)... The only thing slightly abnormal that I have is that my /files share has a different group than its owner --but I've fiddled with the group permissions (i.e. setting them back to same owner/group) and that doesn't seem to help.

[Samba] Unable to Access Samba Server from 64 bit Windows
Hello, We currently have Samba running on a Solaris server, several Linux servers, and a Mac OSX server. The version of Samba running on the Solaris server is 2.2.8a, and the version of Samba on all the rest of the servers is 3.x. All of our Windows computers, including those running 64 bit versions of Windows and Windows 2003 Server can access the Samba 2.2.8a server without any problems. All 32-bit Windows XP systems are able to access the 3.x Samba servers without any problems. However, a 64-bit Windows workstation, and several workstations running Windows 2003 server cannot access any of the 3.x Samba servers. I've googled and compared the configuration files on all the machines without any luck. We are going to the Start menu, click on Run..., and then enter \\fileserver, and get the following error message: \\fileserver is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The request is not supported. Does anybody know what might be causing this problem? Thanks, Daryl -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Samba File Problem
Hi, I am experiencing difficulty with a Program that resides on my Linux Server and is accessed from Win XP stations. The program is a tutoring program that uses flash files (swf) on the server that are displayed on the clients. When doing an update recently I got several strange errors that the software vendor recons are Linux Specific. When copying my new swf files onto the server I get the following errors: application error (Value must be between 1 and 2147483647) Exception class: EInvalidOperation Exception address: 004F123E Are there any values that should be changed when using these types of files?

However, the amount of disk space that is displayed from the df -k command for the mounted share is only 2 TB, and when I try to access the share, my terminal session hangs. Is there a limitation on the size of the share that can be mounted?

I can ping the server okay. I can also ping the outside world, so I know DNS resolution is working.

[Samba] installing samba printer on windows xp
hello everyone. i am running into an issue where xp pro clients must have local admin rights to be able to install a samba printer. the actual error message is: A policy is in effect on your computer which prevents you from connecting to this print queue. Please contact your System Administrator. well, i am the system administrator and am not sure where to go next. i am able to install the printer if i have local admin privileges on the windows xp host, but this wont scale very well. i have created a print package using mkprintpkg.pl and the instructions at: http://us2.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/printer_driver2.html but still have the same problem. maybe i've missed some documentation? or someone can help explain where/if i've gone wrong. the linux box can print fine to the printer and my smb.conf looks like this: [printers] comment = CompassAI Printers path = /var/spool/lpd/samba browseable = no public = yes guest ok = yes read only = yes printable = yes printer admin = root, jon [print$] comment = Print Drivers path = /etc/samba/drivers browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = yes write list = root, jon you help is greatly appreciated. daryl -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
re: smbfs missing files
I'm having a similar problem with 2.2.6 and Windows XP. I opened ticket 25972. Details Summary, see the ticket for complete info: I have a directory with 166 files. If I run a ls | tee ~/t.1 | wc a couple of times I get different number of files. I extracted the files that where missing and compared them to tcpdump traces I have and they all seem to be the last entry in a packet of the listing that tcpdump has trouble displaying. I get: (DF) (ttl 64, id 6633, len 128) 11:45:45.293225 bailey.firefly.ca.netbios-ssn tigger.firefly.ca.45704: .

Try increasing the snap length (1456) I have the snap length set to 0 which should capture the whole frame. I can provide the complete traces and well as ANY other info required to fix this. I also have another complete setup experiencing similar problems. I'm quite techinical, but haven't had time to crack the lid on the samba code, and don't know if I can afford the time right now. I haven't tried the patch listed below yet. What is bug number, or description of the known issue holding it back from release? Thanks for your help, Daryl >From an email in the technical-samba list.

If this would be better submitted as a bug report instead of this list, please let me know. There is a known problem with win2k listings. It doesn't like us using the continue bit at all. You should be able to trigger this with smbclient too. Try this patch for 2.4.19 http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/smbfs-2.4.19-rc1-ALL.patch.gz It changes smbfs to use the same method as win2k does when listing files on another win2k machine (there is a lot of other stuff in there too, including 2G files and unicode). Note that there is a known report of this breaking listings vs NT4, which is why the change hasn't been made in the official kernel yet. I have been meaning to compare what win2k sends to and NT4 when listing and see if it does anything differently from win2k-win2k. I guess it could be a NT4/non-unicode-client issue. /Urban
[Samba] Missing Files in listing from Windows XP share
I have an odd problem with a smb mounted directory to a Windows XP machine. If I mount a filesystem from the XP machine on my linux box and repeatedly do a ls -l or a find ./ -print sometimes some files are missing from the listing. I tried this with both 2.2.3a and 2.2.6. I'm Using WindowsXP and RedHat 7.3. Details: in /etc/fstab ... //firefly/photos /win/photos smbfs debug=10,username=user,password=password 13 output from test: % cd /win/photos/test directory % ls | wc 156 1562654 % ls | wc 155 1562654 % ls | wc 158 1562654 % ls | wc 156 1562654 If I pipe the output to a file (for each run) and then diff them, I see a few files consistently come and go. These are all jpg files and windows is NOT accessing them, or doing anything in the directory at the time. eg: % ls | grep 3009 230-3009_IMG.JPG % ls | grep 3009 230-3009_IMG.JPG % ls | grep 3009 230-3009_IMG.JPG % ls | grep 3009 230-3009_IMG.JPG % ls | grep 3009 % ls | grep 3009 % ls | grep 3009 % ls | grep 3009 230-3009_IMG.JPG % ls | grep 3009 230-3009_IMG.JPG I can also do a find ./ -print and see the same inconsistencies. I'd really appreciate some held trying to fix this... Its really causing me grief! I've tried to enable debugging so I can see the data going between the two machines when I do the ls, but I can only get smbmount to dump debug info when connecting, not when doing transactions. Any idea how do get more detail?
