[Samba] new Samba packages from SerNet
Hallo, (english version is below) von SerNet ist ab sofort eine neue Version von Samba 3.0.14a Paketen zum Download verfügbar. In diese aktuell stabile Version wurden von uns unter anderem zwei neue Features aufgenommen, die auch in der kommenden Version 3.0.20 enthalten sein werden. So ist es möglich, sich jetzt auch mit dem neuen Windows x64 an einem Samba Domaincontroller anzumelden; zudem haben wir den Bugfix für das Problem mit MS Office-Dateien, die bei Verwendung von ACLs häufig unerwartet read-only-Status bekamen, in die stabile 3 0.14a-Version eingebracht. Die Pakete für Debian und Red Hat Enterprise Server wurden weiter verbessert und Abhängigkeitsprobleme beseitigt. Voellig neu für SuSE-Distributionen ist in den SerNet-Samba-Paketen, dass für 64-Bit-Versionen auch 32-Bit-Kompatibilitäts-Libraries für Winbind PAM und WINS NSS-Module mitgeliefert werden, somit ist es. z.B. möglich mit einem 32-Bit GSX-Server auf x86_64 Linux Winbind-Authentifizierung zu benutzen. Die SerNet Pakete für Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux und SuSE/Novell Linux finden Sie unter http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/ Weitere Details zu den Paketen gibt es auch unter http://www.enterprisesamba.com. Neben diesen verbesserten 3.0.14a-Paketen, stehen für Experimentierfreudige und Testwillige unter http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/preview/ jetzt zudem vorcompilierte RPMs für die pre1-Version von Samba 3.0.20 zum Download bereit. Details zu den recht großen Änderungen in dieser Version finden Sie unter http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/pre/WHATSNEW-3-0-20pre1.txt (now the English version) From the SerNet ftp server you can now get updated 3.0.14a Samba packages. We added some features which will also come up with the next 3.0.20 release, for example, we applied the fix which enables you to log on to a Samba domain controller from a Windows x64 box. Also the fix for the bug where MS Office files accidently could become read-only when ACLs were used is added to this packages. The packages for Debian and Red Hat Enterprise Server are further improved, some dependency problems are fixed. The RPMs for 64-bit SuSE-distributions now also provide 32-bit compatibility libraries for Winbind PAM and WINS NSS modules; this makes it possible for example to do winbind authentication on a 32-bit GSX server running on a x86_64 Linux box. You can get the SerNet packages for Debian, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE/Novell Linux from http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/ Read more details about our Packages on http://www.enterprisesamba.com. Additionally to the updated stable release packages you can now get pre-compiled 3.0.20pre1 packages for testing purposes from http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/preview/ More details about the changes from the last stable release to this test release can be found here: http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/pre/WHATSNEW-3-0-20pre1.txt Have fun ...

Re: [Samba] chinese characters
On 2005-01-11 at 10:48 +0800 Max Waterman sent off: This is causing my users a lot of pain. Is SAMBA not supposed to work in China? you should be using samba 3 and you should leave unix charset at default (utf8). Then you can create filenames whatever you want. You might need to convert existing filenames if you have those from your old unix charset to utf8 for example with convmv.

Re: [Samba] mount.cifs doesn't do japanese?
On 2004-09-13 at 14:38 -0700 David Wuertele sent off: On a FC2 system (which includes kernel 2.6.5 and samba-3.0.3), I am able to use smbmount to mount filesystems with japanese filenames on them by specifying codepage=cp932. But when I mount with mount.cifs the translation from SJIS to UTF-8 isn't done right: there has been a false assumption that a UTF-8 presentation of a filename never longer than the UTF-16 presentation of the same name. That's fatal for Japanese filenames. This should be fixed in the cifs version which will come with kernel 2.6.9.

Re: [Samba] Suse (SLES8) Kerberos
On 2004-08-09 at 11:18 +0200 Mattias Andersson sent off: http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/sles8-i386/ (You can also find rpms for other distros there). But the book also tells me that I need either Heimdal 0.6 (plus specific patches) or MIT Kerberos 1.3.1 or later. Of course Suse SLES8 doesnt come with any of these, it comes with Heimdal 0.4. The easiest thing would probably be to use Heimdal since the system comes with Heimdal, but does anyone know where I can find rpm-packages with heimdal 0.6 for SLES8? Also, what does specific patches mean? Isn't Heimdal 0.6 enough? there is no need to install a new heimdal if you use the SerNet RPMs because they are linked statically against the needed kerberos libs. On ftp.sernet.de you find all samba3 RPMs for all recent SUSE versions with working kerberos and now also RPMs for RHEL3 with sane kerberos support to even join a Windows 2003 Active Direcory.

Re: [Samba] Characters
On 2004-07-28 at 12:02 +0100 Mario Gamito sent off: I've already tried using unix charset = CP860 (860 is the portuguese codepage) in smb.conf, but no good. okay, I assume you have samba 3.0.x then. leave the default (UTF-8) here. Otherwise you will not be able to create arbitrary characters from your win* clients and you will run into problems sooner or later. I've read the documentation, but got to no conclusion. In short, i'd like to when a user saves a file, let's say olá.txt in a Samba share, the file in the Linux filesystem is also called olá.txt and not ol_?.txt or something messy alike. A last info: [EMAIL PROTECTED] home]# echo $LANG en_US.ISO-8859-1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] home]# switch to UTF-8 locale if possible. Then you will also see characters like á correctly on the server. You also need a mkisofs which has utf-8 support to create correct joliet images. Rockrigde does not care about the encoding of the filenames, as it is a POSIX-like filesystem extension. The version of mkisofs SUSE ships with 9.1 for example is patched to be able to handle utf8 as well for joliet image creation. Take a look at the manpage of mkisofs on how to specify the charset. Remember you also have to specify the correct iocharset when you *mount* joliet CD images. So even if you do not switch to UTF-8 locales, you can tell mkisofs that the files are utf8 and can mount them as iso8859-1 later. The quicker but less foresighted solution is to use unix charset = iso8859-1.

Re: [Samba] scandinavian letters or charset problem?
On 2004-03-26 at 08:56 +0200 Pirkka Luukkonen sent off: I tested unix charsets ascii, iso8859-1 and iso8859-15 with Samba and it did no use. I also tried win2k and nt server shares and they worked like a charm. It seems clear, that the problem I have is somewhere between Teamware Office and Samba server. Some exception that it cannot handle, perhaps. what operating system and what filesystem are you using on the server which runs Samba? Some well known filesystems are known to be broken or very fussy with non-ASCII filenames.

I realize that Linux filesystems does not have something similar. However one way Samba could do it is to use additional files (hidden to users). It could also be possible to use a plugin module for ReiserFS 4? according to the 'fixed' status of https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228 i would expect streams to be working already. If they are not, this bug should probably be set to 'later' instead.

Re: [Samba] added new printer in cups, need to restart samba

Whenever I add or remove a printer in cups, I need to restart samba otherwise it won't see the changes. Is this the way it is supposed to be or am I doing something wrong? this is a known bugmissing feature of Samba 2.x and also 3.x. I think someone was starting to work on it but it was more difficult than expected. At the moment it is still not implemented and you have to restart Samba to get it to know all new printers.

Re: [Samba] unicode conversion
On 2004-01-23 at 11:27 +0100 Markus Thüer sent off: I have just updatet, Samba 2.2.8a to 3.0.1 and all my files with german umlaute in its names where just glibberish and I couln'd open them anymore. I work with XP and Win98 Clients. Well, I fixed that with setting unix charset = ISO8859-15. But the umlaute are still not shown rightly. New files are ok and I can change old ones by hand. so if ISO8859-15 works okay for you, you probably also had set character set = iso8859-15 in Samba 2. With Samba 3 you really should leave unix charset to the default, utf8, you just have to convert the old filenames. Can I chage them automaticly with convmv ? And what settings need I with unix charset when I convert them. Does it also work with the Win98 Clients? yes, it does, convmv can convert recursively and also skips files which are already utf-8 encoded, so even if you have newly created files in utf-8 and old filenames still encoded in iso8859-1 (or cp850 or whatever), turning everything into utf-8 is fairly easy.

Just select it just like you have smbfs and NFS. in 2.6. also smbfs has LFS. There's also a patch for 2.4 availabele and some dsitribution kernels (and smbmounts) have this LFS, too.

Re: [Samba] Special Characters in Filenames

We are trying to migrate to a samba file server instead of our win2k one and several files our users have have names with odd characters in them. with samba 2.x you can either leave charset translation off, then all files will be saved in the codepage of the Windows clients or you can turn on charset translation (character set option). Turning this on gives the advantage, that you can see for example the files in iso8859-1, the drawback ist that you are limited to chracters which are part of iso8895-1 then, no other characters are possible. The best way out is to use Samba3 which supports Unicode and with that you can have sane files names on the Linux server and support for all chracters at the same time.
