RE: [Samba] 2 GB Limit when writing to smbfs filesystems
I'm running RedHat 8.0 with samba-2.2.7-5.8.0 (installed from RedHat distribution) When I use cpio to write a backup ( 2GB) to a smbfs filesystem, I get the error: File size limit exceeded I get the same error when I linux copy (cp) a file ( 2GB) from a Linux ext3 filesystem to the smbfs filesystem. The smbfs filesystem is mounted from a Windows 2000 Professional workstation. After experiencing the problem, I installed an NFS client on the Windows 2000 Professional workstation (for testing purposes). Everything works with NFS, but I want to make it work with samba. I DO NOT get an error when: MS copy from NTFS to samba share (i.e. copy c:\bigfile \\linuxsvr\smbshr\bigfile) MS copy from samba share to NTFS (i.e. copy \\linuxsvr\smbshr\bigfile c:\bigfile) Linux copy from ext3 to ext3 (i.e. cp -p /home/bigfile1 /home/bigfile2) Linux copy from NFS to ext3 (i.e. cp -p /nfs/bigfile /home/bigfile) Linux copy from ext3 to NFS (i.e. cp -p /home/bigfile to /nfs/bigfile) I ONLY get the error when linux is trying to copy (cp) or write (cpio, tar, dd) to a mounted samba filesystem.

A: No. At this time ( kernel 2.2.4 and samba 2.2.8 ) the limit is in the kernel code used to access samba not in the samba server.

[Samba] samba via ssh; some W2000 do not.
Samba 2.2.8a. Since (Free)Swan flew into ground I've started to use openssh to connect to the samba server.

It worked well for all XPs Pro that I have tested but in 2 out of 3 W2000 Pro it did not. That is typing in explorer \\sambaserver\drive like I do in XP resulted in a blocked explorer.

Aparently samba is working corectly: All user/machine accounts are in place
winbind OK... It's just that although I've restored the /home/printers
folder in the previous state it looks like I've lost my printer drivers.
Rpcclient enumdrivers shows empty hands although the driver files are in the
corresponding folder! Printing directly to CUPS works without any problem
and using the same config files it worked before the move.

I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to. Don't know how it will work apart from VPN. Unfortunately a samba/windows world is very much tied to broadcasts. That's how it works...

Windows machines do not register names to WINS every second... BTW: I'd be a life grateful to someone pointing me to a Microsoft tool or method to trigger wins registration in a MS box; roughly the equivalent of service smb restart...

RE: [Samba] Workgroup/Domain Browsing
(lmhosts.sam would not work for some reason though.) :-D Been there done that. Lmhosts.sam is a sample! So copy it to lmhots, alter it, run nbstat -R from a DOS box and that's it. However, browsing does not work. The workgroup aip-ky does not show up, and neither does the server aip-ky. I guess that I have two problems/questions: 1) How can I have the machine names resolve automatically (ala wins) across the different network segments? 2) How can I enable browsing of the remote network resources from the Windows client so that I don't have to manually specify the resource address? Any help would be appreciated! There are two different things involved here: browsing and resolving names. Some times they're performed by the same machine sometimes not. Browsing is about who is on the network in terms of names ( that is letters like XPWkst_1 ). Every time a windows machine boots it sends a BROADCAST message on the configured NIC stating Hi, I'm XPWkst_1 is there anybody taking care of this net? and a designated machine called Master Browser answers Yep, I heard you! You are on the list now.; next WS2 asks the Master Browser Give me the list of other machines that you know about and that's how you get to see the network neighborhood. Clicking on a name in that list implies the next step: XPWkst_1 has a bunch of letters and it must know the corresponding IP address so it can make a connection; that's where WINS comes in: it's a thing that you ask questions like which is the IP of XPWkst_4?. Which machine XPWkst_1 will ask wins questions to, is configured by the admin (either via DHCP or manually in the NIC settings). The Master Browser is tricky game, MB gets elected (and like in any political system you can cheat those elections to your benefit ;-) ). Beware that I left out a lot of ugly details. So in order to perform the functions that you have requested you have to somehow propagate the BROADCAST from one net to another and configure the machines on both nets to use the same WINS machine. The second one is simple the first one is tricky at least... Another idea (that I have tested myself) would be to have two samba machines one in each net. Machines in 192.168.13.0 will use .3 samba as a MB and machines in 192.168.10.0 will use their own samba to do the same. Then you configure sambas to synchronize the browsing lists so each net knows about lists in the other. If my memory serves me well is about remote browse sync and remote announce in smb.conf; dig more, call for help after you've done lessons. IMO you should start experimenting with a simple config two nets and a router. AVOID putting samba on router (that would be trivial) and try to make both nets to see each other. Once you've sorted that out replace the router box with the VPN and nothing should change. Remember: tail -f /var/log/samba/log.nmbd should be your friend but set a decent debug level e.g. 6. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
RE: [Samba] domain master name query fail
I have always thought that declaring a machine to be a WINS server will automatically make it the browser server which stores browse lists and NetBIOS records. My understanding right now is that they can be separated. They are normally separated. In big networks WINS is a core machine while master browser function is done on each subnet. Assuming I'd also make this machine (using the attached smb.conf), which is already set up as a WINS server, also a browser server. How do I register this browser server title to the WINS server (which is itself as well)? Or it is not required to be done? It is required but fortunately it's done automagically. ;-) When you restart samba if it ends up being a master browser it register itself as 1x depending of the config; otherwise it will register as share. Which ever machine won the election to be the browser server, rest of clients within the subnet will know it, including the WINS server that will automicatlly picks it up (therefore the browser server is registered to the WINS server)? WINS server never picks up thinks. Only the MB. It depends of the config of the MB: If the machine who wins the elections is configured to use WINS it will ALSO register itself at WINS server as a pair name-IP. I will try to add following two lines into my smb.conf. domain master = yes; perferred master = yes; If any more steps are required, I think it's how to register browser server to the WINS? Like I said: it is the duty of the MB to register the name of the domain/workgroup to the WINS. So whoever gets elected IF it knows about WINS it will register. My very own advice is to cheat elections (like putting os level = 254 and also domain master and preferred) so samba always wins. By doing this you bring the whole issue to the Linux world where you can control things... E.g. you can very easy look in /var/cache/samba/wins.dat and browse.dat and see what the WINS and the MB think of the network. A common problem though is that after blatantly cheating elections like that the list will be mostly empty. You have to signal the rest of the machines to reanounce themselves so the list gets populated. I was only able to do that by rebooting them Win9X and 2000. Beware that some gurus advice against this practice. I've never understood why; Yet I've seen a more powerful W2000 winning MB from the NT PDC and all worked fine until the MB was overloaded with a heavy SQL query; browse list responses were coming very slow although both the PDC and other machines had plenty of time. I was watching dumps hoping elections will start again but somehow the delay was short enough... Ever since I make samba win. Again: keep looking at the logs.

RE: [Samba] Accessing remote samba server
Hi, I have a setup where my samba server is located at my main office and I need to provide remote access to a branch office. I already have the conection part operational and the branch office (remote) uses a frame-relay connection to my office (local). I have linux machine with multiple ethernets serving as a firewall at each point (remote and local). The clients will be windows. What do I need to change in my samba conf in order to allow the remote clients to mount the shares ? Which traffic (protocol/port) should I allow to pass ? If assume you want the traffic to be encrypted. So if you're into browsing the net IMHO VPN is the only way. OTOH if all you want is to mount a share on THE remote samba server there is a simple and elegant trick you can perform: ignore name resolution and forward only 139 via ssh! E.g. all the remote windows clients will run ssh 139:IP.Of.Remote:139 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then on the remote Windows WS define in lmhosts 127.0.0.1 remotesambaname ... Do a nbtstat -R and that's it. Windows WS will be able to do in explorer \\remotesambaname\share. After a initial short delay you'll be prompted for a name and passwd.

RE: [Samba] Do we need WINS Replication?
Just a silly idea don't know even if it works: If you are in control of the link how about messing with the wins.dat file? When the link gets up you exchange/merge wins.dat files from both servers and restart nmbds... For example all machines in one net are called with a distinctive a_ in name so you grep in b network in the wins.dat file and replace all a_ entries with the new ones. Same for the other wins.dat for hosts named b_whatever. wins.dat has simple format, so it's possible to detect fi any machines are registered on a secondary WINS server, replace/add this data to the primary WINS server's wins.dat, The idea is not to add to the primary but also to bring back the data FROM the primary to the secondary. A more elegant approach will be to detect the link is down and DELETE from secondary the missing primary machines! There seems to be one aspect you're missing: the damn browse list! IMO You'll have to change that too. and killstart nmbd (because I don't know how to make it reread wins.dat). Oh, that was a problem for me too. Will this work? Exactly my point Michael: why don't you try and tell us? ;-) Long ago I had problems with a stupid NT server refusing to register himself at the wins...

I hope you know that if you're desperate you can to that too on RH, samba
from samba.org can be made .rpm! That is the tgz from the site has a .spec
in it. It's just that you get only a samba.rpm and not all the sepparate

[Samba] shadow folders in XP explorer?
Samba 2.2.8 which is also PDC, logon from windows XP WS. If different users log on from the same WS one can tell the history of the logons because upon exploring the samba server one can see all the other users home shares; I mean the previously logged in users. That is if John logs in to XP WS and the samba server was just started he sees his home.

RE: [Samba] Samba newbie need help with files copied from NT to samba linux box...
I've managed to get samba up and running on my rh7.3 web server. I'm able to see this server in My Network Places and browse to see the shared directories. My problem is this: I want to create and test my web pages on my XP box using DWMX, upload these files to one of the shared directories to be published to the site. The problem is that after copying a few files to this directory for testing; I go to the linux box and copy the files to my /wwwroot/htdocs directory and attempt to access it from a broswer. I get page not found. The files aren't displaying as they do in DWMX. Here a better trick: define a share that will point to your /wwwroot/htdocs! So there would be no need to copy them to an other folder. ;-) In smb.conf have something like [webdevelop] comment = Web root drive path = /wwwroot/htdocs public = yes read only = no browsable = yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 This should get you in the right direction. Then man smb.conf and see about file permisions. The files that you put there are supposed to be read by the apache user (f you haven't changed anything...) OTOH samba will create them as the user that you connect. So look at groups and file permisions. The above 777 example is not a good ideea but should you started. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

RE: [Samba] Can't use mount command with samba
I have a home network based on Win XP Pro, with one Linux machine running Red Hat 9. All updates have been applied. There's no domain controller. I can connect from the Linux machine to the XP machines via Konqueror using smb://mymachine/myshare However, I can't use the mount command. I'm trying to use syntax like mount -t smbfs -o username=myname,password=mypwd //192.168.0.1 /win/myshare smbmount '\\mymachine\myshare' /mnt/xpshare -o username=myname,password=mypwd -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
RE: [Samba] Do we need WINS Replication?
We have 2 segments of the corporate network, which are connected by a unstable(~90% uptime) 2Mbps link. This link cannot be made better. Just a silly idea don't know even if it works: If you are in control of the link how about messing with the wins.dat file? When the link gets up you exchange/merge wins.dat files from both servers and restart nmbds... For example all machines in one net are called with a distinctive a_ in name so you grep in b network in the wins.dat file and replace all a_ entries with the new ones. Same for the other wins.dat for hosts named b_whatever. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Moving samba from one machine to another?
Hi listers. I have a 2.2.7 samba running on a RH8. I'd like to move the current samba (with all the accounts and so) to a more powerful machine. Assuming that at the destination I have exactly the same installed packets what files must be copied in order to make the move as easy as possible? To me it looks like copying /etc/samba/* and /var/cache/samba/* will do the trick. Am I missing something? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Can I use winbind to auth against a samba 2.2.7 PDC?
I'm looking for a valid way to let users have a single point password change for windows login and IMAP. As I don't want to resort to clear text passwords (that would allow to sync the UNIX passwords) I went the other way that is pam for IMAP (via winbind). It's just that wbinfo -t says Secret is bad and wbinfo -a gives a: plaintext password authentication failed error code was NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND (0xc233) Could not authenticate user ... with plaintext password The NT_STATUS_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER_NOT_FOUND is the most strange one. If I tcpdump the machine it looks like winbind asks for PDC only at broadcast as there were no wins = ... directive in smb.conf. Needles to say I've joined the domain. I can do a smbclient -L PDC and the response comes instantly. Run out of ideas... Still: is it possible to use winbind and samba PDC? Or it was designed only for M$ software? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
RE: [Samba] problems with pam_winbind, that is linux box to samba remote server
It looks like the winbind client will NOT natively auth you against a
samba PDC. After 2 days of browsing through lists it looks like the cause is
this: (Kevin Stefanik)
winbindd gets a list of domain controllers via
broadcast and then confirms each directly with a unicast query to the
controller itself (in cm_get_dc_name in winbindd_cm.c) specifically querying
the 0x1c role. That query is coming into nmbd as a unicast query.
The solution (that worked for me) seems to be a small patch by Volker
