The homes share implies that a user can map their home directories.
Well, you have a user called root, so you've got a conflict.  I don't
know what would have happened if you would have reversed the two entries
in your conf file, but I thought I'd explain what happened anyway (I see
you've worked around the issue already).

problem solved...thanks anyways

appearently in samba 3 the share [root] takes you to
the root home directory so i renamed it [rootdir] and
it worked fine. :)

Re: Samba 3.0 on RH7.2 : shared libraries problem - unable to makestack executable ...

[Paul Libert]

Gordon,

I reached the same conclusion yesterday and I'm busy building the stuff 
now ...
But it doesn't satisfy my curiosity ... ;-)
Where does this error message come from (dynamic loader, kernel, ???)
Is it due to incompatibilities between binaries generated by different 
compiler versions ?
As said, I searched google for a (detailled) explanation of this message 
but found nothing and I would like to die a little less clueless.

But anyway, thanks for the advice.

Regards.

To achieve this, I've upgraded several packages with RawHide and RedHat 
9.0 versions.
Dependencies were OK but now, my system is mostly unusuable.
That's not unusual.  Don't (and by don't, I mean never) use binary 
packages from newer releases of the distribution.  They're almost never 
compatible.  The fact that your system is mostly unusable is no surprise.

Attempt to revert the packages to their original versions.  Failing 
that, reformat your system disks and reinstall the OS properly.

When you've restored your system to a working state, get the src.rpm for 
Samba 3.0 and recompile it on the platform you're using.  If it needs 
additional updates, get their src.rpm and recompile those, too.

You can setup Samba access to USER instead of SHARE and you need to add 
users to linux box eg. you and your wife. Then each of you will have 
it's own folder on linux box with its own permissions.

I use the "Map Network Drive" tool under Windows to connect my share on

there and edit them on either my Windows computer or my Linux desktop 
computer.

Unfortunately, when I save files onto the share, they show up as being

Is there a way to set it up so that files I create in Windows show up as

Re: Samba on Solaris

Thomas Fortner wrote:

Hi Yoss,

I've used Samba on Solaris on both Sparc and Intel hardware and it works
almost identically to Samba on Linux. The locations of the Samba files
are different because Red Hat nicely integrates Samba into the OS. On
Solaris, the default is /usr/local/samba. You may need to write or
customize the /etc/init.d script, depending on which version of Samba
you install.
 

Just FYI: There is no functional difference between running Samba on any 
platform. Where the files are located are merely the options selected 
when configuring and compiling the source tree. The main difference is 
that Samba is a default  component of the Red Hat distribution, wherein 
it falls under the standard directories. On Solaris, it is a 3rd party 
package and /usr/local is the preferable place for this because this 
location is both compatible and safe from OS upgrades and patches. Same 
thing with the Apache server, man, do you know anyone that likes the way 
Red Hat splits it up? Even the apache inventors balk at Red Hat's 
concept of directory structures.

Samba is merely just a way of making a Unix file server 'SMB aware'. At 
a rudimentary level, samba and NFS are the same, just based on different 
protocols.

I used Samba on a dual processor Sun Enterprise 450 with 120 home
directories and 40 shares with a variety of security permissions. This
same server also ran a Lotus Notes email server. It proved to be
Microsoft virus proof and ran for months between reboots. Samba is very
efficient with system resources, so performance was excellent. Solaris
dedicated one of the processors for running the Notes server, so
file/print requests were fast and reliable.
If someone from Red Hat is listening, I've been running Red Hat since
version 5.2. I'm on 9.0 now, and I use the boxed version for my
workstation that doubles as a Samba domain and file/print, DNS, DHCP and
NFS server. It also runs Win4Lin so I can support my "legacy
applications." If you take those functions out of the lower priced
distributions (call it workstation or whatever), you take away my
primary training tool. I can't afford to buy Enterprise to run at home
on a two or three user network. 

If you want us to install a licensed Enterprise version in the server
room, I'm OK with that. We'll buy it with the hardware. But please don't
cripple the low end boxed versions. You'll cripple my training program
if you do. Please don't act like Microsoft and try to drain our wallets
through licensing costs.
 

No matter what Red Hat includes with their distrobution, the software 
will still always be free and downloadable. I usually prefer to build my 
own packages as opposed to the rpm's because many times they are 
compiled w/o common features, compiled uncleanly, or configured improperly.

When you buy Red Hat, you are really just paying them for the 'labor 
costs' of assembling the packages, creating the documentation, etc... 
The actual software is free and open-source. (there are some exceptions)

//hostname is not really a DNS name.  Windows will first try a WINS
lookup, and then try a DNS lookup after appending your default search
domain.  It's quite likely that either your host is not registered in
the DNS or that you have not set your default search domain properly.

Re: Samba Access Question

[Simran Hansrai]

Actually I do have my search domian setup correctly, under the tcp/ip settings
of my nic - Advanced - Append these DNS suffixes has my domain name in their.
 This is why my web services work without me manually adding .domain.org
everytime I need to access my website.  Could this be on the WINS side then
maybe?  I have not setup anything on that side since I thought this was a
dns lookup when I do \\hostname.  

Thanks for your response,

A release candidate for samba 3.0 is already in rawhide so I would
expect it to be in the fedora release.  A release candidate is also in
the taroon beta so I would expect it to be in rhel 3 too.

When talking about projected release dates, you need to specify which
Red Hat product you're talking about.  I would not expect Red Hat to
backport samba 3.0 to any of the production releases currently out there
(RHL 9, AS2.1).

Why not just run apache on the Linux box? It would far more stable on Linux
than windows, and it's probably already installed and started. Remember
software is only as strong as the OS it's running on.

Huh. I have never seen even a hint of this reference.  Not saying it is
not there but our small office has used it for over three years with no
issues and I helped setup a redhat 8 box this year in an Accounting FIrm
that has about 50 users hitting a samba share constantly as a file
server with several applications tax packages and others that store all
the appdata on the server.  All locking works perfectly and it is way
faster than the NT box it used to be on.

there are some issues that are tunable with OPLOCKS I believe but we
have never run into them.

I would recommend samba without fail as a result of my experience.

Yea, you need to configure a  section for the samba-mounted 
filesystem unless it is already under your document root. However, not 
sure if that is a good idea, Samba is not designed for 24x7 production 
use. The samba documents describe samba as a means for 'occasional unix 
file access' from Windows systems. There may also be some locking issues 
involved as well.

If you merely want to edit your web content from Unix, do the reverse. 
Store the files on Windows and then mount the Windows share into your 
Unix filesystem. I use setups like this in heavy-duty production 
infrastrutures with little problems.

Re: samba share auth

[Brad Smith]

If you're working with Windows clients, my experience has been that they
tend to try and log in with whatever login info they have and/or prompt
the user for login info, which generally results in failed authenticated
logins instead of guest logins. The following in your global section:

map to guest  = bad user

will cause anyone who tries to connect with a username that doesn't
exist on the system to be treated as a guest login. Perhaps that would
be useful to you.

I'm not really using anything.  I use smbstatus if I ever need something
to help me troubleshoot smb connections.  Where would something like
Sambalizer (I officially copyright that name!) really be of practical
use?

It's list etiquette to append replies after the relevant sections of the
email you're replying to.  If you notice, I've just replied "inline" to
your questions.  I've also trimmed text that is no longer relevant.

It's considered good form NOT to "top-post".  This is where you simply
hit reply, then start typing at the top of the email.  Replies like this
(yours falls into this category) are harder to follow and tend to
receive less attention from some participants.

What kind of statistics are you looking for?  smbstatus will print out a
list of all running smb processes and locked resources.  It would be
trivial to write a top-like perl script to display summaries for user,

Hi Yasir,

You are correct that user names should not start with a number.
Fortunately Samba allows you to map SMB names to local
user names.

You were on the right track with smbadduser except that
the local name has to come first.

smbadduser  My_name:14200

also make sure this line is uncommented in your smb.conf file:

 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

This tells Samba to use the mappings found in the 
smbusers file which looks like this:

Sean

Hi Ian,

I was just having the same problem and here is what Ben told me to do. 
This is a quote from him:

Yep, if this box is your firewall, protecting your windows clients from the
internet, you could be in some serious trouble right now...
If we assume that you are running a standard class C network, then I think
the two rules should look like:
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 137:139 -j
ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 137:139 -j
ACCEPT
the -s option tells iptables what source IPs to match the packet against, so
if your ip range is different, you'll need to put a different number there.

Hi Ian.  Hopefully I can offer a suggestion that will not only solve
your problem, but show *you* how to do it.  You know, the old "give a
man a fish" theory.  ;-)
Install tcpdump, if you don't have it already.  Determine what traffic
(SSH, HTTP, DNS, etc.) you might see across the relevant network
interface (eth1?) that Samba traffic should traverse.  Now, run the
following (with iptables enabled):
"tcpdump -ni eth1 not port 22 and not port 80 and not port 53"
(etc, etc.)  Include a "and not port XX" for each known service you
*don't* want to see.  This should (hopefully) reveal which
ports/protocols that Samba is using.  Those will be the ones you'll want
to add to your iptables ruleset to allow SMB traffic through.
There's always a chance that you'll catch more traffic than you expect.
It's a case of trial and error.  You're generally looking for TCP/UDP
traffic between ports 135-139 and possibly 445.  Hope this helps!


Thanks,

i do appreciate the information. however, i think i have information 
overload from tcpdump right now. There is a LOT of info scrolling 
across the screen. Some of it i can figure out what its trying to do, 
although i cant figure out ports or anything useful for iptables. Most 
of the traffic seems to be broadcast messages from other networked 
PC's and printers. It became a little more readable if i used -nnqi 
but it was still mostly greek to me.

I did try allowing ports 135-139 and 445 in iptables for both tcp and

open ports 137-139 (tcp/udp) on your samba machine.

or u can make use of iptraf:

(as root)

iptraf -s eth0

on your linux machine to watch how your windows machine
connects (what port and protos) to your linux machine when
iptables is turned off. after that, make the changes
to your iptables ruleset and then turn it on.

-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dport 135,139,445 -j 
ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m multiport --dport 
135,137,138,139,445  -j ACCEPT

those are the two lines i added, which seem to have it working now. One 
last question though ... what's the parameter to tell it to only accept 
this traffic from a specific IP? is it -s ip-address ?

thanks for the help,

ian

Hi Ian.  Hopefully I can offer a suggestion that will not only solve
your problem, but show *you* how to do it.  You know, the old "give a
man a fish" theory.  ;-)

Install tcpdump, if you don't have it already.  Determine what traffic
(SSH, HTTP, DNS, etc.) you might see across the relevant network
interface (eth1?) that Samba traffic should traverse.  Now, run the
following (with iptables enabled):

"tcpdump -ni eth1 not port 22 and not port 80 and not port 53"
(etc, etc.)  Include a "and not port XX" for each known service you
*don't* want to see.  This should (hopefully) reveal which
ports/protocols that Samba is using.  Those will be the ones you'll want
to add to your iptables ruleset to allow SMB traffic through.

There's always a chance that you'll catch more traffic than you expect. 
It's a case of trial and error.  You're generally looking for TCP/UDP
traffic between ports 135-139 and possibly 445.  Hope this helps!

RE: Samba Help !!! Please !!!

[cajun]

Hi all,

Just got back in town, I have been gone all week, and I just wanted to 
say thanks to Ben and Fred for the info:  

THANKS!

Oh and Jason, no I am not preping for the RHCE, I wish I was.  Right now 
I just don't have the time.  But what I am doing is trying to get back 
into using Linux.  I use to run a couple of Linux servers for a small 
consulting firm about 6 years ago and I was just learning it back then. 
Then my job shifted and I got out of Linux and have not touched it in 6 
years.  Right now I just want to make sure that what I am doing is right 
and that I am not setting up an unsecure box for someone else to jump on 
and use.

Anyways, I am trying to setup Samba so my windoze pc's can get access to 
the internet and also so everyone can share files and printers without 
any hassels.  Plus I did remove what I had setup in my iptables before I 
left, it just did not look secure to me so I did not leave it in place.

I have used up enough banwidth with my rattleing on, just wanted to say 
thanks.

Again Thanks!!!

Lee Perez

I'm getting ready to start studying for RHCE myself, and am about to pick up
the RHCE Red Hat Certification Engineer Linux Study Guide
(http://www.bookpool.com/.x/ezz9dsejf4/sm/0072224851).  Do you have nay

Yep, if this box is your firewall, protecting your windows clients from the
internet, you could be in some serious trouble right now...

If we assume that you are running a standard class C network, then I think
the two rules should look like:

-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 137:139 -j
ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 137:139 -j
ACCEPT

the -s option tells iptables what source IPs to match the packet against, so
if your ip range is different, you'll need to put a different number there.
Of course, there's always shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net) :)

By reading "between the lines" here, I guess that you mean your linux
box is also the firewall/router in your network, and it has a directly-
connected internet connection of some sort. If that's the case, I'd
think you probably DID open it to the world.

I'm not guru on linux firewall configuration so I can't tell you how to
fix that (I'm sure there is a way), but... I'd suggest a safer and perhaps
simpler solution would be to put in a dedicated firewall in front of your
linux box, so the linux box doesn't have to be as hardened against the
outside world.

If you have an old junk PC lying around (I'm using a Pentium-class
machine, an AMD K5-pr100) w/ 64MB RAM, myself. I'm using Smoothwall,
but there are other choices, such as "ip cop". These are small Linux-
based systems that are designed to do nothing but serve as a firewall.
they run on extra programs that could compromise security.

You can get the swat module for webmin.  That works well.

I'm not sure what your exact problem is but Wade mentioned using SWAT
to help you configure Samba. In my humble opinion SWAT actually makes
the configuration seem more complicated as it presents you with so
many options that you probably don't need. If you are going to use a
web interface to manage Samba you may want to try Webmin
(http://www.webmin.com). You also may want to check and make sure 
that user that you are trying to login as is a Samba user as well as 
a Red Hat user.

I've noticed this error when using secure passwordsdoesn't make
sense to me that the smbclient can't use the secure passwords, but I
think this is your issue.  I had the same error.  I use SWAT, so I
went
to the section.at work right now my Linux setup is at home, but I
turned off the secure passwords in what ever section that is under in
SWAT and it worked like a charm.  But, XP and 2000 would have issue
connecting if you turn this off I believe.  If anyone else has any
other
insite it would be great.  I wouldn't mind being able to get mine
working for Winblows 98 and XP & 2000...:-)  Anyways, try that out 
and see what happens.  If you aren't using secure passwords try turning
them
on I may have it mixed around in my head.:-PHope that helps.

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone out there is running Samba on a RH9 
installation.  I have been trying to set this thing up for the past 
2 days and have not got anything going yet.  I think I am close. 
Here is the error message I get when I try and use smbclient on the 
host :

smbclient '\\hostname\home\dir'
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
The hostname is the name of the Host box and I am using a users home 
directory that I have setup in Samba server setup.  This is driving me

crazy.  I have been searching and trying anything and everything I can

find out there but still to no avail.  If someone could point me in
the 
right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a GRUNCH!!!

Lee Perez

Hi All,

Just wanted to say thanks for the input to this problem.  I have been 
running around all this morning and just got back to where I can start 
working on this again.  

I have been looking at all the responses and just let me say THANKS

Just to let everyone know, yes I have made sure that the user that I am 
trying to use is setup in Samba and as a user on the Linux box.  Using 
both the same name and password.  I also went over to my Windoze 2000 PC 
and created a user on it with the same name and password.  Still can not 
login either from the Linux side or even see the Linux box on the 
Windoze side.  

I did not mention this yesterday and I should have, but I am running 
also a firewall.  Could my problem be in my firewall settings not 
letting something through on the port that it needs to?

I will setup SWAT, and THANKS Craig for the info on setting up SWAT,

Re: Samba Help !!! PLEASE !!

[Joe Polk]

I believe an older ver of Webmin had a plug to SWAT. But why do that? Webmin 
seems to handle Samba setup far better than SWAT. I've had changes made in 
SWAT not work properly.

You have to make sure you create Samba users its not the same as linux users. 
Maybe thats why you are getting login failures.

Re: Samba Help !!! PLEASE !!

[Craig Herring]

Jason,

There is no SWAT module for webmin SWAT comes with SAMBA.  In RH9 it is 
not part of the default install.  do this:
goto the install directory > cd ./rh9/RedHat/RPMS
install SWAT > rpm -ihv samba-swat-2.2.8a-2.10.i386.rpm

It should be in Webmin now.  You can also edit the xinetd config file for swat 
and connect to it by http://localhost:901

Craig

ps... I typically use SWAT for initial configuration because it has all the 
options (fields) then use the webmin stuff for updates.

the error message I get when I try and use smbclient on the host :

smbclient '\\hostname\home\dir'
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

The hostname is the name of the Host box and I am using a users home 
directory that I have setup in Samba server setup.  This is driving me

crazy.  I have been searching and trying anything and everything I can

find out there but still to no avail.  If someone could point me in

RE: Samba Help !!! PLEASE !!

[Nick Kishfy]

I'm not sure what your exact problem is but Wade mentioned using SWAT
to help you configure Samba. In my humble opinion SWAT actually makes
the configuration seem more complicated as it presents you with so
many options that you probably don't need. If you are going to use a
web interface to manage Samba you may want to try Webmin
(http://www.webmin.com). You also may want to check and make sure that
user that you are trying to login as is a Samba user as well as a Red
Hat user.

Using one of the scripts (the last one) seems to have fixed the problem

thinking it is something with the configuration of Samba or the RedHat

RE: Samba Issues

txs for the hint; I got it to work. I did the config below and then
edited out the print command lines with "-o raw" etc in smb.conf

**
 Near the bottom of /etc/cups/mime.types find and uncomment the line as 
 below:

 #
 # Raw print file support...
 #
 # Uncomment the following type and the application/octet-stream
 # filter line in mime.convs to allow raw file printing without the
 # -oraw option.
 #
 
 application/octet-stream
 
 #
 # End of 
 
 Then in /etc/cups/mime.convs find and uncomment as shown:
 
 #
 # Raw filter...
 #
 # Uncomment the following filter and the application/octet-stream type
 # in mime.types to allow printing of arbitrary files without the -oraw
 # option.

 restart cups

Make sure you have reviewed the steps in the CUPS manual for setting up
CUPS/Samba for sharing printers with Windows clients:

RE: Samba Issues

[Jason Staudenmayer]

Try this one.
 use client driver = yes

Windows will try to get the queue status from the server and it can't. This
is supposed to tell the server to let the client know to use it's own driver
for the status. This fixed it for me under winnt 4.

Dear List,

I have a RH9 server running samba. I wish to use it for printing
requests from win 2000 clients and also as a simple directory share.

I have set a printer up and can connect and print to it from a RH9
client so I know that cups is running fine.

I have configured my smb.conf file and can write to and read from the
simple share directory on the samba server using a win 2000 client.

I cannot print. I have configured smb.conf to load and share all
printers. I can see and connect to the printer from the win 2000 client
and the driver install goes OK. When I access the printer I get the
message "cannot connect to the printer, access denied". I do not think
that it is an authentication issue as I can connect to the simple
directory shares.

I understand that if I have share level security and guest ok = yes in
the smb.conf file any user can print? I have tried this with no effect.
I have modified the print driver commands to ones which worked on
Mandrake 9.1 but with no luck. Have RH configured samba slightly
differently?

My error and access logs do not tell me anything illustrative.

Below is a snip from my smb.conf file.

**
# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
printcap name = /etc/printcap
load printers = yes

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless
# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:
# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups
printing = cups

>>> snip

# NOTE: If you have a BSD-style print system there is no need to
# specifically define each individual printer
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
printable = yes
guest ok = yes
writeable = no
create mode = 700
#print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r
#lpq command = lpstat -o %p
#lprm command =  cancel %p-%j  

***

Any suggestions as to what I have done wrong?

George

Hi there,
Hey there yourself.

guys, I have three questions, I hope that if anybody could be so kind and

I haven't seen you on the list before. Did you read the welcoming letter?

Please always specify which versions of things you are running and don't 
fire off a heap of multiple questions. I've noticed nobody's answered 
you at this point and I believe it's because of this. We're all 
volunteering our time, and we don't like repeating ourselves. There's a 
HEAP of ducumentation on Samba around the net, plus the list archives 
(see below for links), and people don't like answering things for which 
the answer already exists. Especially seeing as though you haven't told 
us what you've tried to rectify the problem yourself. Having said that, 
let's tackle one question at a time. I'll start with the first one.

FIRST:
I have set up samba server on my linux machine and can NOT see the contents
of my windows machine, although I can see my shared windows documents only
from windows box in the same workgroup.
From windows machine I can log in to samba as normally with my linux account
and see whatever I set up in samba server, so from windows it is working ok.

Please, what could be the problem? Is there any browsing utility in RH for
accessing windows shares?
I think the easiest thing in this case is to download a proggy called 
LinNeighborhood. It works almost exactly like Network Neighborhood, but 
written for Linux. Use google (www.google.com) to search for it, and 
follow the accompanying instruction on how to install and use it.

Handy links:

www.google.com/linux (search for anything - you will find)
www.tldp.org
www.redhat.com (follow the links for documentation)
www.samba.org
http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/ (for  list of Linux - 
Windows equivalent programs)

As per usual, I've lost the link to the searchable list archives. 
Somebody else will have to chime in here.

Regards,
Ed.

Re: Samba errors

[Alex]

I know what OS LEVEL does and in my experience it's enough to put a value of
99 or even 65 to win browser elections over winnt/2000 adn that's why when I
got these problems I tried to rise the value to 150 because I don't know if
with a value of 99 samba will win over winxp, but as I can see this is not
the problem here... because I still get those messages, so I'm a bit
confused about what is really the problem.

RE: SAMBA & Win2k

[Jason Tesser]

do you have a user created in samba for the win2k box? you can tell samba to allow no 
password

I had SAMBA working with RH9 and Win98. Now I have upgraded the Windows 
box to 2000 and nothing works. All I really need to so is share the 
printer between the 2 machines.

The one thing I have come across in digging through any documentation I 
can find concerns passwords. I don't have a password on the Windows box.
Could this be causing the problem?

The only thing I can think of is that win98 didn't encrypt passwords, and 
win2k does.  Check your configuration file to ensure that encryption is 
turned on and see if that helps.

Why you don't install the Unix / LPD feature on winsoz2000?

In this way you  can forget Samba and print from Linux box with a simple LPR
command.

Yes I believe that is the problem, samba may require a username/password to 
gain access to printers, what i did was create a user on my linux box and 
create the same user on my winxp box with the same passwords and make sure 
they are part of the same workgroup and when I goto My Network Places samba 
shows up without prompting for a password.

hope this helps.

Based on the "multiple (2) responses" message, and the fact that you
have occassional browsing problems, it sounds to me like you have
competing domain masters.  Check your Windows XP systems to see if any
of them are configured as a PDC.  Per the smb.conf manpage...

"   os level (G)
This integer value controls what level Samba  advertises  itself as  for
browse elections. The value of this parameter determines whether nmbd(8)
has a chance of becoming a local master  browser for the  WORKGROUP in
the local broadcast area.

Note  :By  default, Samba will win a local master browsing election over
all Microsoft operating systems except  a  Windows  NT 4.0/2000  Domain 
Controller.  This  means  that a misconfigured Samba host can
effectively isolate a subnet  for  browsing  purposes.  See 
BROWSING.txt  in  the  Samba  docs/  directory  for details."

If you still have problems, I'd suggest performing some payload dumps on
your traffic.  Unfortunately, it will take some advanced SMB experience
to understand what you're seeing, so you might be better off just
"tweaking ".  ;-)

RE: Samba errors

[Binyon Steve Contr Det 4 AFC2TIG/ASRCC]

I see this messaged when I have a multi-homed system with Microsoft Client
and File Print share serivces active for all interfaces, but usually I see a
different IP address in the error message such as:
 6 18:28:12 main nmbd[17890]:   This response was from IP
 192.168.254.60, reporting an IP address of 192.168.1.60.
When I see this type of message, then I just turn off Microsoft Client
Services and turn off File Print Share services on the interfaces that are
not on the same subnet as the Samba Server.  Your messages show the same IP
so I may be wrong, but maybe it will help in some way.

I know what OS LEVEL does and in my experience it's enough to put a value of
99 or even 65 to win browser elections over winnt/2000 adn that's why when I
got these problems I tried to rise the value to 150 because I don't know if
with a value of 99 samba will win over winxp, but as I can see this is not
the problem here... because I still get those messages, so I'm a bit

This is a little more descriptive, taken from the O'Reilly samba book:

- fake oplocks
If set, returns YES whenever a client asks if it can lock a file and
cache it locally but does not enforce the lock on the server.  Results
in performance improvement for read-only shares.  NEVER USE WITH
READ/WRITE SHARES!

- oplocks
If YES, supports local caching of oplocked files on the client.  This
option is recommended because it improves performance by about 30%.

Short story, I'd leave well enough alone.  It doesn't hurt anything by
having it, and disabling it just to avoid the log entries will seriously
degrade performance.  Of course, YMMV.  ;-)

Yes That is what I remembered.  So really the issue is that there may be
a data consistency if fake oplocks are used and perfomance hit if not.

Hmmm, interesting.  The problem that I think I'm having is that the Redhat
kernels do not have oplocks enabled.  Since samba's default is to assume
they are enabled I get an error message every 15 minutes in
/var/log/samba/log.smbd.

I assume the only way out of this is to recompile the kernel after turning
this feature on (where ever it is???) or just turn it off in smb.conf with
"kernel oplocks = off".  Do you know any other way to fix this?

This is best answered by the manpage entries for "fake oplocks" and
"oplocks"...

- fake oplocks (S)
  Oplocks are the way that SMB clients get permission from a
server to locally cache file operations.  If a server grants an oplock
(opportunistic lock) then the client is free to assume that it is the
only one accessing the file and it will aggressively cache file data.
With some oplock types the client may even cache file open/close
operations.  This can give enormous performance benefits.
 
When you set fake oplocks  =  yes, smbd(8) will always grant oplock
requests no matter how many clients are using the file.
 
It is generally much better to use the real oplocks support rather than
this parameter.

- kernel oplocks (G)
  For UNIXes that support kernel based oplocks (currently
only IRIX and the Linux 2.4 kernel), this parameter allows the use of
them to be turned on or off.
 
Kernel oplocks support allows Samba oplocks to be broken whenever  a
local UNIX process or NFS operation accesses a file that smbd(8) has
oplocked. This allows complete data consistency between SMB/CIFS, NFS
and local file access (and is a very cool feature :-).
 
This parameter defaults to on, but is translated to a  no-op on systems 
that no not have the necessary kernel support.  You should never need to
touch this parameter.

Isn't there a significant performance hit for certain situations  by not
using the oplocks?

I did exactly that a couple of days ago and found that I needed to add

There's a kernel oplock setting in samba you can change. I don't have 
time to go into it now, but paste your error message into google, it 
will give you a heap of references to it.

Take a look at the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and see if you have a line
that looks like:

encrypt passwords = yes

Win95 did not encrypt passwords.  Every windows version since has
encrypted passwords during transmission.

it is in a domain.

I would first start by asking if the Win2k Server is part of a domain?
That makes a difference in how you connect using the SMBclient.

RE: Samba and Me (help)

[Mark Haney]

You've not given much to go on.  Was the box originally a Windows NT/2K server?  Was 
it part of a domain? Can you view the contents of the partition from the box itself?  
i.e. without Samba?

I have some left-over NTFS partitions on our server (I know, I know).
Anyway, I have these mounted and set up as a Samba share but they refuse
to accept any password from a windows box or accept "guest."

Any ideas?

Well I think the problem is very simple to solve
Try to insert this 2 Lines in the [GLOBAL] section, under the

comment = "Comment to your server"

If that doesn't work, make sure your Windows machine has the same
workgroup name defined.  Also, you might have to enable WINS support on
both the client and the server.  Sometimes other protocols like IPX
interfere.  Make sure you have unused protocols removed.

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong here?

I'm trying to get a Linux box set up with Samba so I can share 
files with a pair of Win-98 systems and my FreeSCO router.

Problem is, this system is not showing up in Network 
Neighborhood, only the 2 98 boxes and the router.

If it helps any, here is what the smb.conf file looks like:

[global]

  workgroup = BUSHYTAIL
  guest account = nobody
  keep alive = 30
  os level = 2
  server string = RedHat Linux 5.2 Test System - Build-0003
  hosts allow = 192.168.1 127.

Possibly, you could also tell samba to be the master browser for the

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong here?

I'm trying to get a Linux box set up with Samba so I can share 
files with a pair of Win-98 systems and my FreeSCO router.

Problem is, this system is not showing up in Network

Except for a couple "cosmetic" differences, it is pretty much

This problem may be related to the windows registry patch you need to apply

I'll recommend you to read one of the many tutorials on samba laying
around on the Internet or on your own /usr/share/doc.  Here are
something to try for:

1. Are your samba daemons running?  Try:  'ps aux |grep "[sn]mbd"'

2. If not, start them:  '/etc/init.d/smb start'

3. Connect locally:  'smbclient -L //localhost'
   Do you get a list of resources, i.e. one resource: WWW?

4. Connect to BOXES: 'smbclient -L //BOXES'

5. Is BOXES a DNS name?  If not, you need a wins server or a wins
   mapping file (/etc/lmhosts).  Either insert BOXES into this file or
   edit smb.conf with the line 'wins server = ' where you
   replace  with the address of your wins server.

Are your Windows boxes also in a workgroup called WORKGROUP?

For accessing the Windows boxes from Linux, try smbclient (for a FTP like UI) or, if
you want to mount them like other filesystems to your RH box, try smbmount.

Also consider reading the Red Hat Linux Manuals (if you haven't
already), specially this:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/ch-samba.html

If you use Redhat's distro of Samba you already have a working config 
file. Check /etc/smb.conf. The default workgroup is WORKGROUP. All you 
have to do is add a Linux user to Samba's password database and you're off.

You can use Swat to help with configuration issues. The latest version 
even includes a handy Wizard for setting up the smb.conf file.

Cool i did not know.  THanks for the info. In that case I might can help
since I did this at my brother's work place about 3 mos ago.  I did find
that the docs were sparse but it was so simple that about 2 paragraphs
in a howto or something like that was all it took to get it going.

getting smbfax to email the notifications to the users was a little more
involved.

Win2k *can* use Active Directory, but it can also use the legacy NT

W2k uses active directory services does it not?  Last I looked ADS was
not in the core samba stuff yet but was in the development versions so
it may have been added since I set this up on a redhat 8.0 server
authenticating to an NT PDC.  Seems like I got the primary info on
winbindd from the using samba book included in html in the swat
package.  buried in some weird place other than /usr/share/doc BTW.

Use a windows 2000 server as the PDC containing all the users and have the
home directories on a linux box running smb and also some data direcotries,
these would all be authenticated back to the pdc and I wouldn't have to
create users on the linux box they would be done by winbind

According to man smb.conf, kernel oplocks are on by default but if the

kernel oplocks = no

in smb.conf.

I tried this, and it works. It appears that upgrades from RH 7.x to 9 caused 
this error. I have one boxen that is a fresh install, and it didn't have this error.
