do not join a Samba box to a Windows domain and enable the previous two 
parameters.  You just asking for problems.

 You are dealing with a different network protocol and different network
 clients.
 
 No, i'm only working with TCP/IP now. And yes, the clients work with W98
 or W2K.

I meant CIFS/SMB vs. Netware.  Not IPX vs TCP/IP.

 That's right. Spool32.exe or spoolss.exe die very often. I can see a
 read or a write socket error in the log list nearly at the same time.

Ahh...did you initialize the printer drivers installed on the Samba 
server?  If you are not supporting driver download to windows clients,
you might want to set disable spoolss = yes

 Hmm, do you really think that this can solve some of my problems? The 
 update from 2.2.3a to 2.2.5 wasn't very effective.

Samba is different from other projects such as apache.  Because we are 
constantly learning new things about how windows servers operate, it is
hightly recommended to use the latest stable release.

 
 But is there a possibility to set Samba in a kind of Compatibility Mode, 
 so that i can be sure the source of the problems isn't Samba ?

Samba constantly runs in compatibility mode as compared to a Windows 
server.  At least that is the intent.  We don't always get it right.

Re: [Samba] Is Samba made for trash?!? Newp.

2003-02-21 Thread Jean-Paul ARGUDO
 By then, we discovered that if we disabled all oplocks,

we got no more corruption.  

I posted here weeks ago problems regarding Excel 97 file corruption. I 
finally disabled oplocks then.

But day passing, I had new problems with Word 97 :-/  (new posts here, 
mainly not answered but a tip on how to get clients at same time that 
servers... -NET command usage...):

Many times a day, clients here when oppening a MS Word 97 document have 
it in READ ONLY mode, but seems no reason fort that!!

I recently put oplocks *back* ON *but* with veto-ing excel files...
I hope this change could solve de pb..

Waiting for changes, I read again docs about oplocks (Samba HOWTO 
Collection -R-O-X-, O'Reilly and SAM'S books too)

Again and again but as Jeremy says thereafter, seems a problem *in* 
Word 97 ... Maybe I'll have to patch it  (it's original version, just 
patched with Euro Font Fix, nothing more, maybe the source of the 
problems? -Idem with Excel)

That Samba file server has been incredibly stable,
serving terabytes of data to almost 100 clients. 
We've seen no file corruption since that day.  You'll
find many admins who agree with me - Samba rocks!

Same opinion here. Samba works like a charm. We got 2.2.3a Debian woody 
stable release (damm when will they upgrade at debian?? ;-)).

I will say that there are no known issues of clients crashing due to

 Or are 35 workstations and 15 printers too much for one Samba server ?

No.  Samba on apprpriate hardware can handle much more than that :-)

[Samba] Is Samba made for trash ?!?

2003-02-19 Thread Michael Paarmann
Hi Sambafriends !

I have done a migration from Novell to a Samba-PDC in a medium enterprise 
with nearly 50 workstations eight weeks ago.

When i look at the /var/log/warn listing i still see some errors, and i 
like to ask you, if this messages are normal ?

smbd[7809]: [2003/02/11 18:26:45, 0]

smbd[3777]:   write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe

The workstations run with Win98, Win 2000 and Win XP Pro. I have diabled 
all oplocks (because i had a lot of oplock-failures). The workstation now 
hang more often than with the Novell-Server. I fear, that the read_date and 
the write_socket_data errors cause this hangs.
And after i have disabled the oplocks and the socket options Samba is very 
slow.
The same hardware has worked under Novell very well and more stable in 
inaction with the workstations.

I'm frustrated - please help.

Thanx.

Michael
