[Samba] Mac OS upgrade upsets access to samba shares
Mac OS details: Our client was able to access her network resources without any problem until yesterday. She is using a high end Macbook Pro. She has the latest full version of Dave 7.1 installed. Her Mac OS X is 10.4.11 When she attempts to connect to these resources she receives the following error: The Finder cannot complete the operation because some of the data in smb:// could not be read or written. (Error code -36). Attempts to connect to the shares have used fully qualified domain names: smb://server.my.domain/share_name Her Domain password is correct and working. We tested it out on a PC.

Re: [Samba] SWAT says nmbd not running when it is
In case anyone was wondering about this one... we were using socket address = x.x.x.x Once we let this default to use all addresses, the status of nmbd in SWAT was correctly displayed. Question for the group: Is any performance improvement realized by specifying the socket address?

[Samba] Is %U in msdfs root share broken in 3.0.2?
Any thoughts on this? With samba 2.2.8a on solaris 8 we greated an msdfs root for all users like so: [myfiles] comment = Individual User Shared Spaces path = /home/%U/share msdfs root = Yes Then under this share folder, we put all the links to other shares that they needed. list of /usr0/userid/share: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 19 Dec 10 16:00 hbhe_share - msdfs:sph1\hbhe_shr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 25 Dec 10 16:00 my_files - msdfs:sph1\homes\my_files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 23 Dec 8 16:43 flash_applications - msdfs:maximus\FlashApps lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 27 Jul 11 2003 my_my_files - msdfs:sph1\testsmb\my_files lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 18 May 21 2003 iis_share - msdfs:sph1\iis_shr lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 19 May 21 2003 veritas_netbackup_pro - msdfs:sph1\vnbp_pro Now, with RedHat Linux AS version 3 this scheme does not work. Whenever we try to access one of the links under /usr0/userid/share we get a pop-up message that says: H:myfiles refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a harddrive on this computer... etc. smbd.log at level 10 and smb.conf attached to an earlier message that is being held by moderator because file is too big!

[Samba] samba configuration question
We have a central campus kerberos server. We have a local Active Directory domain which is a member of the main campus forest. We have 2 samba 3.0 servers currently configured: security = domain password server = SPHDC0 SPHDC1 where SPHDC0 is the primary domain controller, SPHDC1 is backup domain controller and neither of which runs in native mode. We want everyone, for both domain and samba services, to authenticate to the main campus kerberos server. Say we get over the hurdle of having our domain logins authenticated by the main campus kerberos server. Can we keep our existing samba configuration and in a transitive manner effectively authenticate to the main campus kerberos server as well for our samba connections? If not, how can we do this? We will appreciate any insights anyone has to offer. We're willing to share what we learn.

Re: [Samba] installing samba printer on windows xp
We ran into this also. We learned that there is a Point and Print Restrictions Policy Setting in Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP that may prevent some users from installing the new printers.

[Samba] Samba Printer Administration
How do you handle general samba print job administration? Anyone have print command scripts to share? We would like our printer admins to be able to pause and resume printing.

Re: [Samba] How do I upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8
The make revert command works. It replaces the binaries with previous version saved as ---.old by the make install process.

The documentation on samba.org the I have read assumes that the install is a fresh install and not an upgrade. Thanks so much, I recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.2 to 2.2.8 from source. I had a quick look at the Makefile before I started and there are rules for installing the files, uninstalling the files and reverting the files to the previous version. I simply unpacked the source into /tmp/download, cd'd to /tmp/download/samba-2.2.8/source, issued a './configure' and a 'make', then su'd to the root user and inssued a 'make install'. The install process backed up all of the old files it was replacing (to filename.old) and didnt touch any of the tdb files or smb.conf itself. I restarted Samba and everything ran fine! As everything went okay, I've not had to use the 'make revert' command, but looking at the Makefile, I see no reason for it not to work. Does anyone have any experience of using it?

Re: [Samba] WinXP DFS problems, debugging with dfsutil.exe
Everyone: By way of confirmation of dfs problems with 2.2.8, we are unable to make msdfs root shares work for WinXP clients when we map them using the netbios alias. With use of LMHOSTS file the shares work when we map them using the netbios name. Everything works fine with WinNT and Win2K.

I tried to clear the cache on the client side with dfsutil.exe that comes with the Win2000 SP2 but to no avail. Can anyone else confirm this problem? It's also strange that on the WinXP clients the version of the samba server is still registered as a previous version (2.2.6 or 2.2.7).

[Samba] difference in valid users = 2.2.5 to 2.2.8
We just updated a 2.2.5 samba server to 2.2.8 and note a difference in the way valid users are determined. In 2.2.5, we could have unix user user1 in unix group groupA AND NIS+ user user2 in a NIS+ group groupA We set valid users = @groupA for samba share groupA_shr and both user1 and user2 could gain acces to groupA_shr. This configuration does NOT work with samba 2.2.8. In the example described, only unix user1 can gain access to groupA_shr. We are running solaris 2.8 on a Netra T1 server. Pertinent info from smb.conf attached. Have we been relying on an undocumented feature all this time with 2.2.5? Is samba 2.2.8 designed to work this new way? We can make all our unix users NIS+ users but that will take time. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
