RE: [Samba] Samba won't start
I gave up on SWAT when I found Webmin worked pretty much the same. I cant remember if I tried the command line to start it or not. As far as I can remember I did everything the docs I found said and it still wouldnt run. I have my Samba configured and runing as a PDC for both Win2K and WinXP boxes. All of my configuration was done through straight editing of smb.conf and using Webmin. Webmin does a very good job. Disclaimer: I am am a linux newbie and still getting used to it.

[Samba] New at Samba and need some help
I have been working in the networking industry for about 9 years but am new to the Samba World. I have a client that I have set up in the following manner: 1 Windows 2000 server acting as the Domain Controller. It is running wins and is being used to deal with the netbios resolution on the subnet for the main office. 2 Samba servers running Linux Mandrake 8.2 and Samba 2.2.7 in the remote offices being used to pass the netbios traffic to the WINS server in the main office. The traffic is being passed via tunnels that are permanently created between the cisco PIX firewalls located in all three offices. I am experiencing some instability in the WINS functionality and am not always successfull in logging in to the domain. I will include a copy of the global settings of the smb.conf file for both servers. The file is the same with the exception of the netbios names. The reason I am only including the global settings is that I have not made any changes or activated anything in the other sections. Any help in solving my problem would be greatly appreciated.

I have a tape drive that is attached to a Solaris box, that I would like to use to backup my entire environment; Solaris and Windows. If this is possible, how should I configure the smb.conf file. Umm. Samba is really for file and printer sharing - if that tape drive can look like a file or subdirectory that you can share, then it would help! Since I doubt that is the case, you are left using standard Unix facilities such as tar and cpio, or a commercial backup package for Solaris. However, if Samba is installed on your Solaris system, you should be able to use smbclient (in smbtar mode) to perform backups of Windows PC's to the tape drive on the Solaris box. I came across a set of scripts that someone posted to the Samba mailing list a couple of years ago, which would take a list of PC and share names, and do a backup of multiple Windows PC's to the tape drive on a Unix system, using smbclient - with each PC being backed up to a separate tar file on the tape basically. I hope that gets you started in the right direction. If you don't mind spending money, there are a few cross platform backup solutions (Arkeia?) that will let you access the Solaris tape drive from the Windows PC's -- Jim Morris ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: [Samba] Tape Drives
We do this, but we don't share the tape drive...we share the drives on the other machines on the network. The box with the tape drive mounts the shares on the other machines to a temporary mount point, backs it up, and then unmounts it. Something like this command will mount it: mount -t smbfs -o username=root,password=blahblah //computer1/c /wkstn-1 Then, just use your regular tape drive tools to backup the /wkstn-1 directory. Although you could probably share a tape drive, I'm not sure that you could do it in such a way that it would be usable by any Windows software, so I think it is easier to do it this way.

Re: [Samba] how to verify the connection between a Samba server and a Windows Xp client?
Just some ideas. When you stopped your firewall, I don't know what other security features may be working. There are others. Is the smbd server running? What does net view \\WINNY show you? If this fails, what does: net view \\ipnumberofwinny show you? If these attempts fail, then: It is fun and a great time waster to monitor what the computers are saying to one another with tcpdump. tcpdump -i interface on the linux server. You might get a clue. Delays in responses, or requests going to other ports rather than the port you think should be getting requests. nmap is sometimes helpful to see what ports are open on your computer. Be aware then port 137 doesn't show up with nmap as being open, don't know why. telnet server 139 might show you if you can reach that port. Note, the calling telnet will just hang after it gets a reply.

[Samba] Tape Drives
Is it possible to share a tape drive using Samba. I have a tape drive that is attached to a Solaris box, that I would like to use to backup my entire environment; Solaris and Windows. If this is possible, how should I configure the smb.conf file. Thanks Nate Grissom [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Samba] how to verify the connection between a Samba server and a Windows Xp client?
Hi, Joe, I typed : net use x: \\WINNY\gong The output is: System error 53 has occurred. The network path was not found. Then I stopped my Kerio firewall, and try the command again. The output is: System error 1234 has occurred. No service is operating at the destination network endpoint on the remote system. In either way, it doesn't prompt me to input password. What may be the problem? Thanks.
