[Samba] Web Front-end
I'm looking for a web based application that I can run to allow end-users to browse the samba server, and only see the files to which they have permission. Upload capabilities would be nice, but I can live with read-only downloads. So far, the only decent solution I have found is Davenport (http://davenport.sourceforge.net/). But there have to be other optionsright? Is there a samba equivalent to FileDrawers (http://www.filedrawers.org/) for AFS?

If she executes the copy command, and waits (count 1,2,3,4 seconds) then it seems like it works. Seems to be a common problem that no one has been able to address yet. When it does it to me, it creates a zero-length file. Repeating the operation at any time up to about 2-3 minutes delay causes winders to ask if I want to overwrite the file. If I say Yes, I get a good copy. I see it mostly when copying video files to a Samba share. One possible explanation is that WinXP tries both the low port (139 ?) and the high port (445 ?) at about the same time, and continues the transaction with which ever port answers first, leaving the other one to die. Some sort of collision results. I added a line to smb.conf: smb ports = 139 This is supposed to help if you see this in the logs: get peername failed; endpoint not connected Using port 445 or 443 (I forget which) is supposed to be better but Win95/98/ME clients don't support that, and I don't know if Win2k does, but I suspect it does. The bad news: I still get the "Network name not available" error from time to time. But it's better. I just make very sure not to do any file moves, I copy and delete. Sometimes I have to perform a copy or save a second time and overwrite the zero-length file. But that gets me where I'm going. - 535.

I have a series of hosts (Solaris 8,9 & 10) that are successfully providing samba shares. They are all using Samba 3.0.2a, and authentication is via a Windows 2000 password server.

Re: [Samba] mac os 10.5.5 and symbolic link to www
Leopard tries to be nice and follow the symlink on the client side. The problem we ran into was that the client wasn't mounting the target of the symlink, the server was. The unix extensions and follow symlink options as below forces the server to do the symlink following not the client (which might not have the target mapped). Alternatively, but a messy solution, you could map all the target locations of the symlinks to the client, in exactly the same path so that the client side can do the work, not pretty because it makes the clients dependent on the servers layout.

Thanks for the hint to upgrade to 3.2, but I'm currently a little afraid of doing as I heard some rumors of 3.2 being a bit buggy... do you have problems with 3.2 ? christian > Regards, > > Jelmer Jaarsma > -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iEYEARECAAYFAkkIanYACgkQ3bV1+S5veEjCBACeNDiFDMmcG+iIFplgMuSWh4ur > pO0An0ULYJn66eZ3JBCduuuhWj/pDtvZ > =NcM1 > -END PGP SIGNATURE- > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Strange problems with Samba 3.0.32 as ADS member of W2k3 domain
hello, i've some strange problems with my samba-servers acting as domain-member (ADS) in a W2k3 active directory. we have 3 DCs here and running samba without specifying a dedicated "password server" doesn't work! the 3 DCs have the following roles: - DC1: PDC-emulator, has global catalog - DC2: RID-master, infrastructure-master, no global catalog - DC3: no special role, has global catalog what works: - kerberos setup is fine, can kinit without problems. - net ads join works fine (no matter to which server i do) - net ads testjoin gives "join ok" (either specifying a server to check or not) - samba-shares working only when "password server = DC3" !!! what doesn't work: - samba-shares without specifying a password server - samba-shares with "password server" either DC1 or DC2 after doing a lot of test, rejoins, and so on, i figured out that also the following setup works: - password server = * AND also running winbindd !!! the strange thing is that i've some other setups (same samba, same domain on another location and therefore other DCs) that work fine without winbindd running... so i'm now totally confused and looking forward to any help! thanks a lot, christian -- "I sense much NT in you, NT leads to Blue Screen.

Re: [Samba] mac os 10.5.5 and symbolic link to www
We had a similar problem. To fix it we added to our global section of smb.conf: follow symlinks = yes Mac 10.5.X is supposed to have the unix extensions but we found when we enabled them we broke clients running older versions. So we also have: unix extensions = no set. Hope this helps.

Do you mean the MAC is using the SAMBA symlink and attempting to follow it to a location on its local disk? Yes. Because Windows clients do not understand the SMB protocol extension the Mac uses in this case, the server follows the symlink on their behalf (to a location on the server's disk). "The Mac is almost certainly using the unix extensions to follow the symlink on the client side.

Re: [Samba] Join AD: no logon server
Thanks. I have sorted out my problem. It was a case of RTFM. The windows server was running in mixed mode which meant that I had to remove the realm paramater and use security = domain and finally join the domain with: net rpc join. Tam.
