Re: [Samba] Usershare parameters
Greeting, I set usershare max shares to 10, and then with an user (and with different user) I add 15 shares definition . When I use the net usershare list -l , I see all the 15 usershares and can access to these shares with a Windows client. A difference with your example in the documentation, I use ACL(EA) to authorize a group of user to add share definitions. I have read the majority of documentation about usershare, and in the one in the smb.conf, I can read 'All other share parameters not specified in the user defined share definition are copied from this named share.' Then how it is work? usershare template share Names a pre-existing share used as a template for creating new usershares. All other share parameters not specified in the user defined share definition are copied from this named share. Thank you for your help. The usershare is a great parameter and like to understand how to use it perfectly. Robert This isn't what the template syntax is for. Look at the man page for smb.conf for details. For usershare max shares try setting "10" and see if this limits it correctly. I'll test this out in the 3.0.23c code and fix it if there's a bug.

[Samba] Failed to setup guest info
I've been trying for the past week to get Samba and LDAP to work together as a PDC on my Gentoo box and allow some XP boxes to get in. I've read and followed the how-to's (emerged and unmergred more then a few times) My LDAP accounts all seem to work when I do the ssh test into them. Changing the domain in XP fails with the "network path not found error" even after all the registry tweaks. While tring to work through this issue I discoved that smbd is not starting correctly.

Re: [Samba] ftp 8x faster than samba
Rober Adkins wrote: Blaine Armsterd wrote: Robert Adkins wrote: Again, I suggest that you test like things with like things, test a Windows server's file sharing and then Samba file sharing. Test FTP on a Windows server and then FTP on a Linux server and do this on a controlled network where only the workstation and the server are connected via one hub that has no other network connected to it. That way you can more clearly determine which is faster. I tested the samve server and the same file over the same connection. There's 2 boxes on the switch here at my house. There's no more testing necessary. I can transfer the 723Mb file in 24 seconds using FTP. There's no reason for Samba to take over 2 minutes. Samba and FTP both have vastly differing overheads that affect the transfer of files. Samba (and Windows Server's Filesharing) will never equal FTP in performance. Neither will even come close. FTP is an entirely different protocol that is extremely loose and insecure. As a matter of fact, In a properly set up network there should be no significant difference in speed between FTP and Samba WHEN transfering large files. For tests I usually open a DOS window, change to a share and just time the copy command in both directions with "timethis.exe", like this: C:\> W: W:\> dir aBigFile 31.08.2006 00:11 184.751.471 aBigFile W:\> timethis copy aBigFile C:\Temp 1 File(s) copied. Elapsed Time : 00:00:16.877 W:\> timethis copy C:\Temp\aBigFile 1 File(s) copied. Elapsed Time : 00:00:16.573 which means about 11 megabytes in either direction. FTP won't give you any better speed over a 100 Mbps link from PC to switch. Even If you connect to a gigabit switch through a proper gigabit NIC and a good cable the limit will be the speed of client's disks. A single disk can't give you more than about 50-60 meggabytes per second with either FTP or Samba. Robert Adkins wrote: For example, if you are using ReiserFS, then you would see a marked increase in reading/writing and subsequently file sharing for relatively small files in, I believe, the sub-32kb range as ReiserFS is tuned for sharing many small files very quickly. However, ReiserFS (At least the last version I was using) wasn't great for serving large files, like the 700MB test file you are using. Reiserfs 3.6 serves big files via Samba just as fine as small files. In all my tests the bounds are the throughput rate of the network and the ability of the client's mass storage to absorb and emit data, not the Samba software or the file system used. So to come to the point, if someone says his FTP transfers run 8x faster than Samba, then he/she actually means to say that his/her Samba server provides only 1/8th of the available power. This usually means that that person's network is not configured properly. Unfortunately, saying "ftp 8x faster than samba" is insufficient diagnostic to be able to pinpoint the problem. Even the addition in quoted mail that there are a server a client and a switch between them just scratches the surface. There's a lot more details we don't know about the setup. My guess is that there is a problem in name resolution. Blaine, do you get same transfer times when using IP-adress and unqualified name? I mean if your server's name is "samba" and its IP-address is let's say "192.168.1.1", do you get the same speed/slowness when you use \\192.168.1.1\yourShare as when you use \\samba\yourShare ? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] 'username = @group' not working correctly
Hello I am running a Samba file server (Version 3.0.22) with 'security = share'. Here is one of my share definitions: [archive] path = /var/smb/archive writeable = Yes username = @staff valid users = @staff First question: In the manpage for smb.conf, it is mentioned that '+group' expands to the Unix group named 'group'. But that does not work for me. Using the '@group' syntax works. Is this an error in the documentation? However, my actual problem is this: I need the 'username = @group' mechanism because some of my clients do not supply a correct username. The problem is that it does not seem to work for most user accounts. It does work for exactly two users. After experimenting and looking at the debug logs, I concluded that Samba only checks the supplied password against the first two users who are listed as members of the group 'staff' in /etc/group. After checking the second user, it aborts. These first two users can connect to the service fine, but all others can not. If the relevant line in /etc/group looks like this: staff:x:1034:foo,bar,baz Then foo and bar can connect, baz can not. If I swap bar and baz in /etc/group, then baz can connect and bar can not. Is this a known problem?

Philippe LAUGET wrote: Hi, We are using Samba 3.0.22 on FreeBSD 5.5 PDC with ldap backend and roaming profiles. We meet some difficulties when users logout from some Windows 2000 SP4 clients, and storing their profiles back to the Samba server. The file NTUSER.DAT seems to be uploaded and stored in lowercase, as ntuser.dat. Then, when users try to reopen a win session, they get a corrupted new profile. This new profile is fully broken, since it's not possible to modify any options that affect NTUSER.DAT. I have a similar problem... same Windows version, same Samba version. According to smb.conf man page, the default option to "preserve case" is "yes". Some times the problem is even more anoying, an user logs in in an Windows station, do whatever he/she wants and logs off. Everything seems go fine, but then when the user logs in again he/she can't, for example, print anymore. I think the biggest problem is that people look at me and say "Why I can not print? I've just printed 2 minutes ago". The "solution"? Erase the old profile and create a new one, but... I have to configure everything again (mail client, browser, back-up the files, etc, etc). I thought once it could be an Ethernet problem (I mean, a physical network problem), but it's not :( Any hints? -- Miguel Da Silva. Servicio de Informatica.

I'm using samba-3.0.23b,1 on FreeBSD 6.1 I've only ever tested the FAM support on IRIX. smbd will automatically attempt to use FAM if it appears to be available, but it shouldn't I did not specify anything with respect to fam in my /usr/local/etc/smb.conf file. I have only noticed that a new directory has been created in /tmp/ drwx-- 2 root wheel 512 Sep 4 08:45 /tmp/fam-root/ This directory is empty and updated once and a while. I mean the directory is recreated at a later time. Attributes and owner do not change. In the clients log files I find the following: [2006/09/04 11:36:41, 0] smbd/notify_fam.c:fam_check_reconnect(136) failed to connect to FAM service Socket directory /tmp/fam-root has different owner Failed to remove unsafe path /tmp/fam-root ... It seems that the client tries to access /tmp/fam-root but has not the right user priviliges. Can someone help me out and explain what is going on? How can I solve the problem? You can disable FAM support by setting "fam change notify = no" in smb.conf. This will get rid of the messages, but obviously you won't get FAM support. I'd have to dig into the FAM implementation on FreeBSD to be more helpful, and I won't be able to do that for a couple of weeks. -- James Peach | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

I couldn't find any references for "case" changes in your smb.conf, but I would recommend the [1]Name Mangling section of the smb.conf manpage. You could activate the 'preserv case' parameter for the profiles share. 1.http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#NAMEMANGLINGSECT > When they disconnect, smbstatus shows the user as connected on the > machine for a long time ( from 15 minutes to hours ) after he has logged > out.

Hmmm, you can add commands to the postexec, but I'm not quite sure that it will solve the problem. In our network, we have problems with CD servers, sometimes, Win98 does not tell the server that the share is not in use (the user needs to logoff). We solve that with mount timeouts, it is a separeted problem, but has relation to the fact that the MS Windows clients "forgets" to //release// the share. :) > Thank for your help.
