I originally only had writable = yes, but I added the other out of frustration with Samba insisting the share is read-only. Anyway, onto my suggestion. Have you restarted samba since you made the share writeable? Yes, I sent the HUP signal to the daemon to tell it to re-load its configuration file. Also, if you're forcing group INTERCLEAN+Domain Admins and setting valid users to the same, won't everyone be able to write to the share as a domain admin? Would they? I figured only Domain Admins would be allowed to access the share at all, then the force group would take effect after that.

Yes, and very useful it is too :-) In the Globals section I put this to stop all users cluttering up the server with mp3 files.

Re: [Samba] Sending message to connected users ?
Thanks again Arno, that's a possibility for the future. Getting rather frustrated with the servers here... browse.dat is in different places on our 2 servers and neither where you said it might be ! Reason for all this messing around is that one server (built by someone else) is *extremely* flakey so I've built a replacement and I'm in the process of swapping them over. New to Linux and Samba so struggling with commands :-( Wanted to use at to reboot the old server at midnight and it took hours yesterday to discover that ctrl-D was the command I needed to enter after I'd typed reboot at the at prompt. I've got 5 Linux manuals and not one of them told me how to use the at command properly so ended up trawling the web.

Ah, thanks John (and others). You are correct... it is just a fileserver. I hadn't realised that just connecting to a share was not the same as logging in (I'm quite new to Linux/Samba).

Subject: Re: [Samba] Re: Time server
Hi all,
Thanks. I've set that up but it doesn't seem to be doing anything :-(
I found other, very similar instructions on the 'net...
Under my computer, manage, services applications, services made
sure that Windows Time was set to start automatically. Then in a DOS box
ran the following commands
net stop Windows Time
net time /setsntp:172.16.15.4 (my samba server)
net start Windows Time
I *can* use the DOS command:net time \\172.16.15.4 /SET /y and the
clock
does sync to the server.
I've just been fighting with this myself, and I _think_ I've got a firm
understanding.
There are _two_ ways that a modern (W2K, XP) box can talk to time servers,
NetBIOS and SNTP.
_Both_ are accessed with the 'net time' command, but unconnected to each
other.
So, if you use `net time \\someserver /set /yes' then that will use the
NetBIOS
style of getting the time (i.e from an SMB server).
But, if you use `net time /setsntp:some-other-server'. then that will
configure which SNTP server(s) the Windows Time (w32time) service will
talk
to.
Obviously 'some-other-server' must speak NTP (which Samba, naturally)
doesn't
do. You need (something like) xntpd instead. (You can of course rrun
Samba
and an NTP serer on the same server.
In XP the 'w32tm' command is expanded to allow you to update the config of
the
Windows Time service on the fly ('w32tm /config /update'). Note that
you
_must_ either use this command or stop and start the w32time service for
any
changes to take effect (that includes changes made by 'net time
/setsntp:')!
Also, some useful info is available from (XP's) 'w32tm /monitor' and
'w32tm /dumpreg /subkey:parameters'
Right, enough of this off-topic nonsense..

But you can manually configure the NTP server on the client, and run an NTP server on your PDC if you wish. The Microsoft time services are substandard and do not implement a full NTP time management protocol. It's best to leave that to a real implementation like the xntpd-4 (or equivalent commercialised NT/2000 products built on similar technology). If you want to use the W32Time services, use them as clients. The default (under 2000) is to resync the time periodically in increasing intervals, settling in at about 3 syncs/day, I believe. Simple recipe to configure Windows servers to use it: net stop w32time net time /setsntp: dns-name-of-real-ntp-server (or it's ip#) w32time -s (hit Control-C if it doesn't return after 4 or 5 seconds) w32time -s (yes, sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get the time locked down) net start w32time Then make sure in the Services control panel that the Windows Time Service is configured to auto-start. Thereafter, it will resync every 45 minutes until the error is under 1 second, and then resync every 8 hours from that point forward. No clock-skew adjustments or other time conditioning is attempted, unlike a real NTP implementation. The MS W32time service seems to only care about one-second accuracy. Be aware of this if you chain time services as this jitter will accumulate. =MB= -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Subject: Re: [Samba] Re: Time server
Hi all,
Thanks. I've set that up but it doesn't seem to be doing anything :-(
I found other, very similar instructions on the 'net...
Under my computer, manage, services applications, services made
sure that Windows Time was set to start automatically. Then in a DOS box
ran the following commands
net stop Windows Time
net time /setsntp:172.16.15.4 (my samba server)
net start Windows Time
I *can* use the DOS command:net time \\172.16.15.4 /SET /y and the
clock
does sync to the server.
I've just been fighting with this myself, and I _think_ I've got a firm
understanding.
There are _two_ ways that a modern (W2K, XP) box can talk to time servers,
NetBIOS and SNTP.
_Both_ are accessed with the 'net time' command, but unconnected to each
other.
So, if you use `net time \\someserver /set /yes' then that will use the
NetBIOS
style of getting the time (i.e from an SMB server).
But, if you use `net time /setsntp:some-other-server'. then that will
configure which SNTP server(s) the Windows Time (w32time) service will
talk
to.
Obviously 'some-other-server' must speak NTP (which Samba, naturally)
doesn't
do. You need (something like) xntpd instead. (You can of course rrun
Samba
and an NTP serer on the same server.
In XP the 'w32tm' command is expanded to allow you to update the config of
the
Windows Time service on the fly ('w32tm /config /update'). Note that
you
_must_ either use this command or stop and start the w32time service for
any
changes to take effect (that includes changes made by 'net time
/setsntp:')!
Also, some useful info is available from (XP's) 'w32tm /monitor' and
'w32tm /dumpreg /subkey:parameters'
Right, enough of this off-topic nonsense..

Re: [Samba] Upgraded to 3.0.2a but...
Thanks again Daniel, Yes, I edited rc.samba to point to the new files, still told me I was running 2.2.8a ! I didn't know there was a make uninstall, I'll run that now. I'll read through the configure file to see if I can modify it myself (I suppose I could compare it to the configure file originally used for my 2.2.8a) and if I can get my head around it I'll try it - failing that I'll wait for a Slackware package to turn up.

Seems that the 3.0.2a installation put most of the files in different directories from the original 2.2.8a (which came bundled with this slackware 8). This can be changed with --prefix statements in your ./configure step, if you want something other than /usr/local. Alternatively, you can look for a Samba 3.0.2a Slackware package to upgrade to, which should have all the ./configure stuff already set up similarly to how it was in 2.2.8a.

Re: [Samba] clients logout .............
Hi Steve, The situation I have here is... all PCs have a Windows login name in the format PTLUser* and on each there's a shortcut to the server (PTLServer) of the desktop. When the machine is first booted it logs straight in to windows using the PTLUser* and password. When the user double-clicks on the desktop shortcut to access the server they are then required to enter their unique Samba username and password. This opens up the windows showing the shares on the server (including their home folder) and they can then map as required. When finished, they can chose disconnetc network drive from several places and this will remove the mappings. Now, if another user comes along and double clicks on the desktop shortcut it assumes that they are the same user as previously asccessed the server and shows the previous user's folder as available. Somewhere previous in this thread someone suggested using the map network drive - Connect as different user as an option but as opening the shortcut to the server only shows the previous user's home folder this does not seem possible ? Seems that Windows is remembering the username and passwrod somewhere so the only way I can find to clear this is to reboot or logoff users PTLUser* and start again.

If mapping with the net use command, you can specify a different user by doing something like this: net use * \\server\share /user:domain\username *. The * at the end will cause the program to prompt for a password. If you connect via a UNC from the run box or explorer address bar, Windows will attempt to connect with the logged on user or if there is a current connection to the server, it will try to use the id in use by the other connection. You will not be able to connect with another userid until all connections to the server are disconnected.

Did anyone test the difference in connection times? At my location we use kixart scripts to connect to 10+ shares when logging on to the smb PDC, any tips?

Re: [Samba]Ooops File In Use when it's not...not a problem
Thanks Joel, Netwatcher is one of the M$ Windows (95/98 and maybe 2K) system tools. Shows who is connected to your shares, what files they have open etc. and allows you to disconnect them :-) Seems that if the client crashes, and then tries to reconnect after reboot, finds that the files are in use by their previous connection so disconnecting them via Netwatcher is the way to reset the file lock. I _think_ the same action could be performed for Linux/Samba using the Kill option in SWAT - if the problem ever arrises. I'll crawl back under my desk now Many thanks again.

[Samba] swat not working this time
Hi again, I've just reinstalled RH 7.2 and Samba 2.2.7 for the unpteenth
time this time swat is not working !!! I have checked the etc/services
file and swat 901/tcp is in there and I have a text file named swat in
etc/xinetd.d directory containing the following...
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
log_on_failure +=USERID
disable = no
}
I can't access is from either the browser on my PC or from KDE's Konqueror
Have I missed some vital step ? It all worked last week when I
first/second/third installed everything but I've been busy installing M$
Windoze 2000 for a few days and my brain is addled.

Have you tchecked your pam.d files for samba?

Mike,
Connect to swat from the Samba machine using the Linux browser, not
across your network.
On the samba PC, start Mozilla or whatever you use, then go to
http://localhost:901
and see if you get better results.
It's possible that you have a firewall blocking port 901. Make sure
your
firewall (if enabled) allows that connection.

I'll try to list what I've done...
Downloaded and installed the latest Samba (which contains swat).
Installed
it and it seems to work as I can log in to a share with my W2k PC.
As I'm using Red Hat 7.2 this has xinetd so...
Addedswat 901/tcpinto the /etc/services file
Then created a new file in the /etc/xinet.d folder and named it swat
In the swat file I put
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/samba/bin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
That's itrebooted a few times, tried to connect from my PC using IE
but
can't. I have another Samba server but it's running SlackWare and uses
inetd so the configuration differs :-( I get to that one OK using
IE/Swat
I have checked that swat is actually in the folder /usr/local/samba/bin
and
it does show up in the list of services in KDE but does however say You
must enable xinetd to run this service Maybe I've missed something ?
Thanks
Mike

[Samba] Starting smbd nmbd from xinetd ?
Hi there, Just experimenting with Samba (latest version) running on RH 7.2 Everything seems to be OK, got it running and can access shares but... smbd and nmbd have to be started manually ! ( using # /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D and then # /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D ). Any idea how I set it to start at bootup ? It doesn't show up in the services configuration under the RH configuration manager and as I'm very new to linux/samba I don't know how to set it up (probably somewhere in xinetd ?) Any help appreciated. Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] SWAT, where ? Got it, not working :-(
Thanks Mike, it wasn't included with the Samba I had so I downloaded the latest. SWAT is not working though... it's there but I can't get to it from the browser on my PC. I've done the modification to /etc/services and created a file named swat in the xinet.d directory as shown in http://samba.linuxbe.org/en/samba/learn/swat.html Using RedHat 7.2 and now Samba 2.2.6 and rebooted several times. Thanks Mike G'day... You may have already checked this, but open up a web browser on the server and point it to http://localhost:901/ - just in case your distro has automatically included it... `rpm -qa | grep swat` may also indicate if it's installed already or not...

I hope you can help: - Begin Forwarded Message - I have an emergency and am at the end of my resources and hope you can help. I'm a samba newbie and hope you can point me to an answer. Our Samba2.0.5 server is a Sun Enterprise 450 (Solaris 7). Our PDC is an NT machine called warrior. The warrior is the smbpasswd server and the domain is CSDEPARTMENT.
