I agree. This indicates a packet loss on the LAN. I would check the cables and switches. If you can, try using a 10,000 packet flood ping from the server to a suspect host, with a 1500=byte packet size. This is a nice quick test of network health. Oh - a bad NIC at either end can also do

Bob, Try to do a chmod -R 777 /home/public -- it's possible that filesystem permissions are not right. Also try adding these lines to the definition for the public share as well. force group = public read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 Hope this helps you out!! On

I would try turning off the Strict sync option. I would also test it with the oplock options disabled as well. On Mon, 7 Jun 2004 08:59:34 -0600, Brian Merrell wrote: This is from 1998: We've had serious performance problems loading AutoCAD R14 .dwg files from a VAResearch VArServer 3000

Try putting a force user = line into the share. I've had to do that a time or two when sharing databases -- it seems that each user tries to chown the file. Force User prevents this by having all accesses at the filesystem level appear to come from the same Unix user (doesn't affect

Anri, The clock skew issue means that your machine's time is set incorrectly. This issue is easily corrected by running Network Time Protocol (ntpd). Edit your /etc/ntpd.conf file, and set the time server to be your existing Win2K box's IP address. See man ntpd.conf for info on the syntax of

Jamie, Try adding a force user = some_unix_user line to the share. Also try a force group = some_unix_group as well. I've had to do this with MS Office apps before... they try to take ownership and mess things up pretty badly. Also try turning off oplocks as well. Once you add those lines,

Max, I'd try working on the TCP Socket options. Adjust the SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF values up in steps of 1024, restarting Samba after each change. You can then time the transfers. That should help! On Wed, 07 Sep 2005 19:22:58 +0200, Max Riedel wrote: Hi! Maybe you can help me, would be

This sounds like a situation just crying out for Winbind authentication. I'd say set the boxes up for that rather than messing around with the /etc/passwd files. With Winbind, you don't need local accounts. On Tue, 2008-03-04 at 08:17 +0900, Michael Heydon wrote: Shain Miley wrote: Hello

I've found that if I delete anything from a roaming profile on the client-side, I need to delete the server-side copy entirely, then log out to save a new roaming profile. On Tue, 27 May 2008 18:29:34 + (UTC), Avery Payne wrote: On Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:12:53 -0800, Alberto Moreno wrote:
