[Samba] samba slow and several Write andx Request
Hi all, I'm running version 3.0.28a on Ubuntu linux, and apparently from a day to another I got performance issues: without any change in smb.conf (except a few added shares) I have mac osx and linux clients getting a very slow upload/download speed. I've checked with other protocols, like scp and performances are good, so I can exclude a network/hardware problem. Other clients are still running fast (e.g., windows xp). Looking at a transmission dump I see a lot of Write Andx Request packages (and replies) all moving the data offset by 64 bytes, that I suspect is the cause for the slowing down speed. Is there some option or somehting I can investigate more?

[Samba] windows 7 share and smbclient
Hi, I've tested that samba (smbclient 3.4) cannot connect to a windows 7 share but however it is possible to mount such share with smbmount. When I try to connect specifying username and password I got a success but nothing happens: smbclient //s28/backupinfook -U backup Enter backup's password: session setup failed: SUCCESS - 0 while from another windows machine I can connect to the share. When I mount the share with smbmount I can browse its content. So there is something working different between an smbmount and an smbclient. What can I do if I don't want to mount the share?

[Samba] file disappear ???
Hi list, I'm experiencing a strange behaviour on my samba server. I've got a list of users allowed to access a disk share from their windows machines, and the clients save files (such as .doc and .xls) in the share. Sometimes certain files disappear, that is the client is no more able to see them. I've tried changing permissions, ownership, name and position (i.e., moving them to a different share) but nothing worked. The only thing I found to solve the problem is to zip all the share content and then to unzip it from a windows machine, then all the clients see again the disappeared file. I've tried to check the unzipped file with the original one but the checksum is the same and diff does not report any difference. Moreover, from the dos command line the file is visible and if you spoecify the file name in the explorer path you can open it. So the file is there, can be accessed but simply is not shown. The name of the file has no strange characters and permissions are ok. Any idea about what can cause this behaviour and which configuration option to work on?

[Samba] administrative shares
Hi all, I cannot find a good description of how to use the windows administrative shares. Since I'd like to mount them from a Linux box, using samba, to perform backup of the user client, I'd like to know how can I access them. In particular, in a computer where I've got a single user, without password, what are the share credentials? And how can I set permissions for such share? Any good document?

[Samba] smbclient mget and compression
Hi, I'm using smbclient to replicate a samba share from one Linux machine to another one. Unluckily, the amount of data is quite large, thus I'd like to transfer it with a compression, but I didn't find such as asny option in smbclient. Is it possible? Thanks, Luca P.S.

[Samba] valid users and lost password on windows xp
Hi all, in my network we're using samba as a disk share for users. Each user can access users thru his unix login name and password, but sometimes I experience that Windows xp (prof.) loses the password, so it prompts the user again for the it. In particular, after a smbpasswd password change, I have one machine that, even if mounting the share as a network disk (with username and password specified and the checkbox to store at reboot is checked) each day requires the user to insert the password. In particular the computer always proposes a default username composed by \\computer_name\windows_username. Is there any way to fix this problem? Anyone knows where and how to interact with the stored network-password in a windows system?

[Samba] deny writing to share root
Hi, is it possible to deny writing to the share root, allowing writing to the subfolders of such root?

[Samba] (no subject)
Dear list, a few days ago my samba server hanged up, I mean the samba services where not available (I/O error) and I didn't understand why. A simple umount/smbmount without restarting samba worked.

Error = Connection reset by peer that refers to the fact that sys_read returned -1. What can be the cause? It's like the server didn't read enough data from the socket, like a connection/cable problem happened. Anyone else with a similar problem?

[Samba] duplicated name
Hi, in my network I had two samba server, one playing with authentication and one as guest-like disk share. In the pdc, I defined a few alias thus the machine was responding with different names. For an error, I didn't notice that a few alias matches a few group names used by the clients. Now, the guest-like machine has been dismissed, thus the other one has been assigned to its IP. Since that, clients are protesting saying that there's a duplicated name on the network, and I found this is a problem due to the fact that the samba server is responding with the same netbios name of a group. My question is, since the machine is running from a while, why I didn't discovered this before?

[Samba] mangling problems?
Hi, I'm experiencing strange problems due to file names. I'm using samba 3.0.9 on a suse 9.1 system, and the problems are the following: 1) I've added the default case = lower and preserve case = no probably after some clients had already added a few folders with the same name but different cases, like folder and Folder. Now the clients are able to see both the folder, but the files in each of them are missing (even if connecting thru ssh I can see them). Deleting a folder, the problem disappear, but I'd like to know how to fix this for all the folders (except moving files and deleting them). 2) folders with names that ends with . or an italian character like è,à,ò, make the files within them invisible, and sometimes are changed to strange name like V~FTR.

With not working I mean that I cannot see the exact desktop, even if the content is the same, and icons are rearranged. 2) the logon script seems to work only on consumer windows. I've got a simple logon: #cat logon.bat net use H: /home Now, while it works under consumer windows, it does not work under windows xp professional. 3) I cannot see network resource icon in XP prof, and it is like I cannot connect to the samba server, even if I use the ip address.

As you can see from the attached files, the win2k computer sends also the username (marty) along the network, and we cannot understand why.
