i am not an expert, but, do you have jumbo frame enabled on your nic and switch? try using ethtools...

Re: [Samba] Fedora Core 5 and Windows 98
Samuel Santiago wrote: Greetings All, My problem is trying to mount an SMB share from Fedora Core5 to a Windows 98 Machine. Before upgrading from FC4 to FC5 everything worked. I have searched around and it appears that the smbmount and mount -t smbfs options have been deprecated in Samba 3.0.22-1 in favor of CIFS. The command I have been trying now is: mount -t cifs //192.168.0.126/laptop /mnt/share -o username=chime whereas I used to be able to do... mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.126/laptop /mnt/share -o username=chime but the problem I have now is that it won't mount. I get an error mount error 112 = Host is down The host is NOT down, that is the IP address of the laptop running Windows 98 with file and print sharing enabled, and I have named the share laptop. There is no Firewall installed blocking any ports on the 98 machine. I can ping it and no other config on it has changed. The only change was going from FC4 to FC5.

You need to recompile your kernel to support smbfs. let me know how it goes. RP -- Raúl D.

Re: [Samba] Write access doesn't grant delete access?!

I didn't realise that Samba treated Delete access separately to Write access - how do I grant Delete access on a folder? It doesn't. Can you post a debug level 10 log of a delete request please? I'll send you the debug log off-list, but from the looks of it there's an issue with the ACLs. Samba says I don't have enough access to delete files, which I could understand, except for the fact that I can *modify* the file I'm trying to delete. I would've assumed in this case that I didn't have write or execute access to the directory, but as far as I can tell, I do. Thanks, Adam. Yo, Adam... There is a special Linux security attribute which in effect says only owner can delete... I forget the exact value, but got bitten by it once. Check to see if that's your problem... Jerry try to apply chmod 0770 or whatever you want to remove all the special attributes. Tell us how it goes. hope this help! RP -- Raúl D.

That's probably important. your setup should track this setup as I see it. http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-ByExample/secure.html since you have no interest in advancing your skills, count me out next time unless you learn to ask simple questions. The simple truth is, if you want know little, point and click Windows network administration, you are probably better off using a Microsoft Windows server. My interest is in helping people that actually are interested in learning something, yes gasp, those that actually do want to become expert. Lastly, I would heavily suggest you forget about LDAP until your attitude changes because it is hostile to administrators that don't want to become knowledgdable. Craig Thanks Craig. I think you'll see a problem here. You suggest that the issue may be a lack of a passwd chat script, while two others suggest I remove the passwd chat script - which is almost identical to the one in the second URL you just gave. The issue isn't about whether people want to learn. It's about how much they have to learn to get things to work. If something takes too much effort, in the real world it doesn't get done. There is nothing inherently complicated about managing a directory service. Look at the simple Linux tools for user or printer administration for proof. I see no virtue in making Samba-LDAP configuration a black art. A basic setup should be easy to achieve. In fact, from what I have been reading, LDAP should be the standard Samba backend. That won't happen if people have to spend a week or more learning how to use it. You completely do not get it. Samba is infinitely configurable. Windows - at the moment of setup you have to choose the role for a server, whether a domain controller or a member server. The workstation is sold separately. Samba provides all of those roles including a Windows 95/98 server too. There is no way that anyone can solve your problem with any certainty without suitable logs, an inspection of your tdbsam and your /etc/passwd files AND the smb.conf, the whole of which you dumped on us last night and undoubtedly have changed many times since. Proper mail list etiquette and a commitment to demonstrating that you are actually focused on the problem would dictate that you limit those items to only the minimum necessary logs, smb.conf, etc. Your information is incomplete and as I stated last night, I am not going to speculate any further on your problems. In fact, your reply has made me sorry that I even speculated on the solution to your problem. As for my 'seeing' the problem - that being in your mind - different suggestions to solve your problem - that is absolutely absurd. ***The problem*** is you don't know how to provide the information with which someone can tell you what the definitive solution would be. As for your suggestion that Samba-LDAP a black art...Samba is Samba and LDAP is LDAP - you understand neither package so expecting them to work for you is a rather pointless endeavor. Knowledge is power and you appear to be lacking both. Yet you expect them to work for you even though you don't understand them nor wish to understand them - I wish you luck. Let me be blunt - you are a help vampire. Please don't email me any more until you change your ways. Craig Under your rules, it is up to the patient to figure out what tests need to be performed before visiting the doctor. :) I have always regarded the help process as a dialogue - maybe that comes from my having worked in systems support at one time, or maybe it comes from my being a systems consultant (both inhouse and contract at various times) - but I have never expected the customer to tell me what is wrong in a manner that I can immediately say here's what you have to do. In my experience, the customer/patient comes to the experts with a problem. The experts dig around to determine what the issue really is, including asking for specific tests or more information. Then they make a diagnosis and prescribe a treatment/solution. Insulting the patient/customer is usually not a good way to go about things. I've been working with PCs since 1978 and with Linux since 1998. I put a lot of effort into learning about making things work. And according the the Mensa test, I'm not stupid. :) But I'm also not someone who has a narrowly defined role. My customers expect me to be broadly knowledgeable on just about every topic associated with computers. Even if I became an LDAP guru, I'd be unlikely to maintain that level of expertice for long. That is a fact of life in the real
