[Samba] Delayed Write failures with Windows XP

We have users who have their desktop folders on a Samba share. Some of them have been getting "Delayed Write Failure" messages recently on the "cookies/index.dat" file. At first I thought it was a fluke related to a network outage we experienced, but now I'm finding out it had been happening p

[Samba] Delayed Write failures with Windows XP

2003-01-13 Thread Hall, Ken (ECSS)
We have Windows XP users who have their desktop folders on a Samba share. It appears that all or most of them are getting "delayed write failure" errors on "cookies/index.dat". Nothing shows in the log, and the error is consistent, even when we delete the file from the server. This is Samba 2.

On directories, the "execute" bit means permission to search the directory. That's what the Samba user needs to see files in it. > -Original Message- > From: Marshall Lucas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, January 17, 2003 9:20 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Samba] Linu

[Samba] Recovery from Domain/WINS Outage - Didn't work well

2003-02-24 Thread Hall, Ken (ECSS)
We're using Samba 2.2.5 and 2.2.7 in SECURITY=DOMAIN mode. This morning we lost contact with our PDC, and for about 2 hours, users were unable to logon. After chasing this down, we determined that we were also unable to contact the WINS server defined in smb.conf. Our backup WINS server was av

[Samba] HOME share behavior

I have a [homes] share with a group of users. One of them is "greg". When administrator "matt" tries to map a share like so: net use \\server\greg h: (I might not have the syntax exactly right, it's been a while.) The function succeeds, but the share actually mapped is MATT's home directory

We're putting together a setup using Samba 2.2.0 on Linux, SECURITY=DOMAIN, with authentication done by a Windows 2000 server. Everything works fine, except for Roaming Profiles. We're trying to store them on the Samba server where the users' home directory is. (Right now they're stored in t

There's a "login script" option at the share level that can be used to run the "adduser" or "useradd" command. I'm using a script with some extra smarts, but it can be done pretty easily. > -Original Message- > From: Scott Wrosch [mailto:kc8lir@;yahoo.com] > Sent: Friday, October 25, 20

Did you reboot after starting winbindd? Either do that, or try looking for the nameserver cache daemons (nscd), and kill them all. (Don't worry, they'll restart.) I had the same problem with nss_ldap, and it drove me NUTS till I found out about the cache mechanism. > -Original Message

[Samba] Share name length issue?

I remember seeing some posts on here about problems with long share names. Particularly, I'm having trouble with a user who has a 14 character ID. When she tries to access her HOME directory, she gets RESOURCE UNAVAILABLE. We can see the directory, however, if we come down from a share above (

I've been seeing this too. They seem to be getting around it by deleting the current profile and letting Windows re-save it, but we've held off migrating any more users with roaming profiles till we figure out exactly what's going on. If anyone finds out anything about this, I'd be very interes

I just came out of a meeting where we narrowed our version of this problem down to a particular build level (or two) of Win2K. NT appears to be fine, and so does XP. We're going to try a couple of different builds and hopefully get a level 10 log of a failing case. If anyone has any more infor
