I am just getting to know the server and network I am supposed to handle.

What would be the first thing to check when it comes to a Samba server you know 
nothing about?

Kind regards


Reading the documentation at http://samba.org/samba/docs/.

 Please help us to understand your wishes.

 What size limit should we observe for messages to this list?

 7) Any size

 Please indicate your preference by reply to this list.

At least 95% of my spam is really small--they know not to send huge things
so I get pummeled by zillions of small items.  Death by a million feathers.

If people want to send huge attachments (painful, but sometimes the 
only way to get something out quickly) 512K seems that it would accommodate
most needs?

 Folks,

 I like criticism! Please give me lots of it - particularly in respect of
 the updated Samba-Guide. It should now be up on the Samba mirror sites.
 You can download it from:

   http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf

 I have incorporated all feedback into this book. Did I get it right this
 time or should I give up?

 So far, not a word of feedback is deafening!

 Is it worth my effort to continue updating this book or is this a waste of
 time?

I don't see how I missed this before.  It looks quite interesting, and I 
*will* be reading it and sending comments back to you.  Thats a lot
of work, I know.

[Samba] Request for advice on where to look...

2005-02-26 Thread STeve Andre'
   I have a samba 3.0.11 machine running on OpenBSD 3.6.  This is a
replacement for a 2.2.x machine running on OpenBSD 3.4.  The new
system is working just fine for all the existing Windows clients, but
I have found that I am having problems with new machines.

   On the original machine I could introduce a machine to my own
domain using the usually Win2K properities tab, and specify the
account root and its pw.  I've found that on the new system, I can't
do that.  I didn't discover this problem with the new machine 'till
just now, since the existing clients never saw any change from
their viewpoint.  I moved the passwd files and /etc/samba to the
new system and I'd thought all was well.

   So then, can anyone point me in the direction of some documentation
that will help me figure this out?  From what I've been looking at I
haven't found anything that sheds light on this.  Any particular
gotchas in going from version 2 to 3?

   Apologies if I'm missing something really obvious here.   Just
tell me what I should be reading...

Thanks all,   STeve Andre'
