Thanks, Jason - I had reinstalled samba-libs but not some other apparently
critical part of samba.  The --reinstall fixed it!

Try 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba'

If that doesn't include install the removed packages, run, 'sudo 
apt-get install samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules python-samba'


I, too, have been having problems that seem to point to samba.  Note 
that I am still running Jessie.


If I run 'sudo aptitude update' followed by 'sudo aptitude upgrade' I 
get the following:

So far as I can tell, samba only exists on my system because smbclient 
is suggested by CUPS and since my wife sometime prints from her Windows 
laptop I want to leave it installed (is this correct?).


Trying to reinstall, or update any of the samba packages just gives me 
more of the same.  How do I resolve this?


At some point I will want to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch, but I need 
a clean system before I can attempt that.

I can now again connect to the shares via the "Connect Network Drive"

I still do not see the Shares (on Windows 8.1) in the "Connect Network

Re: SAMBA problems on Debian 8.8

2017-07-15 Thread Jason Wittlin-Cohen 
You are running an out-of-date version of samba (2:4.2.14+dfsg-0+deb8u6
 vs. 4.2.14+dfsg-0+deb8u7+b1).  In addition, you seem to be missing
samba-common-bin,  samba-dsdb-modules, and python-samba, all of which are
dependencies of samba.

Try 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba'

If that doesn't include install the removed packages, run, 'sudo apt-get
install samba-common-bin samba-dsdb-modules python-samba'

There were samba updates for jessie yesterday. First one was broken on

Any advice for me and what debug info shall I supply?


is samba running? If yes, any messages in the log?

Hi, thanks for the help to all.
apt-get upgrade/update installed nothing. Therefore I presume that I
have the latest updates.

I tried to restart the Samba server:

No, definitely not. I do updates/upgrades rather infrequently and I
issued (packed in a small script):

/usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb
apt-get update
apt-get -y upgrade
apt-get -y autoremove

only after the error occurred.

There were samba updates for jessie yesterday. First one was broken on
some systems so maybe it will help to do an upgrade again.

is samba running? If yes, any messages in the log?

Samba had 2 security updates, first one had messed up dependencies and
second one solved that. Perhaps you just updated first one and need to
do update/upgrade again to catch up second one?

AMANDA uses smbclient. In my experience with smbclient and AMANDA, it 
has never behaved in the manner that you describe smbmount and smbtar. 
Try using smbclient.

Everytime I do this, I get different # of files.

As well, when I smbtar, i get differnt # of files as well.

I'm trying to mirror over about 8 gig from the NT 4.0 machine over to a
Woody machine, but right now I can't because I can't trust the backup to
have gotten all the files.

I reported this about 3 years ago, and was told to go away because
smbmount isn't supported.  I assume smbclient is the same.

smbtar merely calls smbclient though.

Re: samba problems

2000-08-03 Thread Phil Brutsche 
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

 Hi,
 
  hoping that someone really nice can lend a helping hand...with
 configuring samba...

Samba's not that hard.

   1.  I always do an ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 
 255.255.255.0 everytime I boot to configure my network interface.  I
 want to configure the interface permanently so I do not have to
 manually specify it everytime.

One of two ways:
 * /etc/init.d/network
 * /etc/network/interfaces

 2. do I need to do a 'route add -net 192.168.0 dev eth0' aside
 from specifying the ip add and netmask?

Depends; what kernel revision are you using?

 how about the broadcast address? do i need to configure that too?

Yep.  Same place as the ip number.

   3.when trying to test the connection with $smbclient
 debian\\user1, it prompts me for the password, then gives the
 error..
 Password: 
 session setup failed: ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in 
 a Tree Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)

You entered the wrong password, obviously.  What are the contents the
[global] section in smb.conf?  According to the log below, you're missing
the smbpasswd file (the list of encrypted NT LanMan passwords).  You
really can't use samba without it...

 ah.say what?
 
 btw,
  I run samba from inetd. nmblookup works..(i think, doesn't complain
 anyway) testparm also doesn't complains...but checking var/log/smb
 shows this errors...when I first installed samba it asked me if i
 wanted to make a new samba passwords file...i said no, (taking the
 default choice) perhaps that is where my problem lies?

Yes that's the problem.

OK here goes

cd to /etc/network and ls to see whether you already have a file there
named interfaces. If not, use you favourite editor (mine's ae, BTW as it
is so ealy to use for simple editing) and create this file with the
following contents:-

# The loopback device
iface lo inet loopback

# The eth0 device (replace the ip with the appropriate address)
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.255
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.10# If this box is not the gateway, otherwise,
this can be commented out

Note that if you specified a gateway, ips meant for other networks will be
routed via the gateway.
(Someone correct me if I am wrong!)

As for Samba, have your included your username and password to the
smbpasswd...ooopsss you did mention that you skipped that pasrt when
askedwell, to create the said file, I suggest you use Samba Web
Administration Tool or SWAT for short...

From thereon, you should be able to smbclient //debian/user1 ...and make
sure you key in the correct password

  I run samba from inetd. nmblookup works..(i think, doesn't complain

 Hello!
 
 Now, the further problems: I hope perhaps someone can send me some
 suggestions about this 'cause I have read the smb.conf manpage thoroughly
 and don't know what to do (although I said I was probably able to solve
 this).
 
 I'm using a ip connection over slip (serial cable direct) from a WIN 95b box
 to slink. I can also mount my win services (smbmount), no problem. And I can
 use the samba supplied services on the win box. But, the problem is that win
 doesn't find any computer in the Network Neighbourhood and claims it can't
 be browsed. If I Run //computername/resource in win, I can see the
 resource, and then, if I press the change to upper dir button (don't know
 what it's called in English WIN vers), I get, after some time connected,
 the workgroup in the window, and then, after a second click I reach the
 network neighbourhood and then --- the computername is shown
 CORRECTLY!!!
 
 I really don't know what causes this behaviour, and so I'm sending you the
 smb.conf as well as the dialup.dun file with this mail. I'm using Samba
 2.0.5 or so.
 
 Sometimes it also says that the groupname workgroup cannot be found,
 although I've configured both boxes to be in that group.
 
I've run into this a fair number of times.  I think the problem is that
when Windows networking looks for other computers in the neighborhood,
all it can do through TCP/IP is broadcast to local machines.  It needs
WINS to be able to resolve names over a PPP or (I assume) SLIP link. 
(Why, I'm not quite sure; maybe someone can fill me in on this).  Try
setting up My Computer/Control Panel/Network on your Win machine to use
WINS, and point it to the IP address of your Linux box in the DUN TCP/IP
settings.  (pppd has a way to provide the WINS IP address from the
server, so you wouldn't have to set it on the Win machine, but I don't
know if SLIP has this).

In smb.conf on your Linux box, make sure to set:

wins support

I also set:

os level=65
domain master=yes
local master=yes
preferred master=yes

That way, browsing is all done through the Linux box and doesn't drift
around.

One more thing: make sure those workgroup names match on your Win box
and in smb.conf!

Re: Samba Problems

1999-05-31 Thread Haymo Meran 
 I've had samba working on my network, allowing my nt box to see my unix home 
 directories.  However, I had to reorganize my NT box (server) and ended up 
 reinstalling to free up a hd.  When I did this, I changed the domain from 
 PRI_NT_DOMAIN to WINDOWS.  I changed the appropriate line in the 
 /etc/smb.conf, but I'm unable to connect from winnt.  I get the following 
 error when I try: \\Debian2 is not accessible.  Network path not found.

 Does anyone know how to fix this, and/or what it means?  It seems to make no 
 since since debian2 is showing up in the neighorhood network.

Had the same prob But I had to change in the smb.conf

security = server

Don't know what your smb.conf looks like... but the very much saing M$ errormsg 
was the same...

Re: samba problems

1998-09-25 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen 
WINS maps NetBIOS names to IP addresses. When it comes time to send a packet the
MAC Address is gotten through arp. NetBEUI does sit right on top of ethernet 
(and
thus uses MAC Addresses) but this is not the same thing and Linux doesn't 
support
NetBEUI. To complicate things, a NetBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP, the proper name for
this type of windows networking, described in internet RFCs 1001 and 1002) node
may operate in different modes. A node may be either a B node, P node, M node,
or H node. The difference is mainly how names are resolved (and claimed, etc.). 
In
short, B nodes use broadcast only to resolve names, P nodes only use a specific
WINS server(s), and M  H nodes use combinations thereof. I believe WinNT 
machines
default to operating as Hybrid. This means that first an NT machine will 
broadcast
and if that doesn't work it will contact the WINS servers it's using. That's 
why I
asked about the 'interfaces' line since this controls what addresses nmbd (the
daemon responsible for NetBT Name Service) responds to. You may want to use
'tcpdump' to see what packets are shooting around that ethernet. Also, do you 
have
WINS servers set up? Do you have your samba configured to register with them?

 Can you use ipfwadm to block traffic on the netbios port to/from undesired

Alas, the one user I do want to allow access to outside the network
has a dynamic IP. Setting passwords for everyone will make it secure
enough for my liking anyway.

I have just checked smb.conf's man page and it looks like you have to
add:

null passwords=yes

to the global section of your smb.conf, as this parameter defaults to
no.

 I can't get anything from NT either; it just asks me for a password
 all the time and says it was wrong. I did have shadow passwords
 disabled but just turned them on in case it would help; it hasn't.
 
 Any ideas? I have the old sambades going great on another machine.
 On that machine I can smbclient to itself just fine, but not to this
 machine with the new 1.9.18alpha12-1.

   Domain=[workgroup] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.15p4]

 I believe two or three loop bugs were found in the earlier releases
 of SAMBA. The current release is 1.9.16p2, you should probably install
 that release. I have been running it for a few weeks (on IRIX 5.3) and
 it seems quite stable (although there are a few browsing problems).

This seems to be the case (i.e. there were bugs in version
1.9.16alpha10) as since I down graded all my hosts to using Samba
1.9.15p4 every thing is fine.  I think I will wait for the debian
package of samba 1.9.16p2 rather than installing it by hand.  I'm
in no hurry to upgrade samba as 1.6.15p4 works just fine.

I would warn others from using Samba 1.9.16alpha10 and would go so
far as to advise debian to remove 1.9.16alpha10 from rex and replace
it with 1.9.15p4 from buzz pending the debian release of samba
1.9.16p2 (yes, that is how broken 1.9.16alpha10 is).  In reading the
samba news group (which I do now) I understand that the new version
is quite stable.

I would just like to finish by saying that this is the first major
problem we have have had in the past year with an unstable version
of debian.  The completeness and robustness of the debian
distribution (even in the, IMHO misnamed, unstable version) continues
to astound me day after day.  Debian truely is the best, most
up-to-date, best supported, and easiest to use linux distribution
that I know of on the market today.

Thanks for everyone's help!

 About 90% of my /var/log/smb* log files are the line:
 Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
 
 It seems that smbd prints this as it starts up.  I just don't

Possible temporary workaround: run smbd/nmbd as daemons, not from inetd.
This means it'll only start up once, and also it should respond slightly
quicker in theory, especially since you seem to be using samba

 The first two lines about seem to be errors, but I haven't been able

I don't know much about Samba on Linux, but I do know quite a bit about 
Microsoft networks.  The master browser line above indicates quite a 
problem.  

Have you recently added an NT Server to your network segment?  I've no 
idea how Samba handles elections (who gets to be master/backup/etc), but 
that may be the source of this problem and the high CPU usage.  

Do you notice unusually high broadcasts on your network?  i.e. slow
