Ah! Does your DHCP settings include "option netbios-node-type 8"?

Wrong! WINS uses directed UDP. Directed UDP is routable. Does your router pass 
directed UDP packets?

Check your wins.dat file on hgsserver to see if all clients have registered 
with the WINS server.

[Samba] Some help needed in Romania with some settings

[tehno]

Hi,
My name is Monenci Nicolae. I'm from Romania, an i have a problem that i 
could not find any answer on net.


I have an "Samba version 3.013" instaled.
I have atach-ed the smb.conf that i have configured my self.


So my problem is:

  I have a network of 10 PC. (5 windows XP, 2 windows 2000, 
3 windows NT)

I have installed 1 new PC with windows XP.

After i installed all, i connect it to the Domain JDDWORKGROUP. After 
that when im editing any image file (in photoshop /  CorelDraw) from the 
shares i recieve an  error that sound's like this:


"Could not save "W:\alfaa2.tif" because the file it is locked"
The same file opened on other PC works just fine.


*Please help i have tried anything (changed network card, changed 
motherboard, reistalled windows XP several times) but with no result.*


Thanks for your time,

[Samba] problem accessing Windows XP computer

[Norman S. Clerman]

Samba friends,

I have a computer running SUSE Linux 10.1. At work all the computers on
the network, except this one, are running either Windows 2000 Pro or
Windows 2000 Server. The computers are physically connected through a
router. I am an administrator on all the Windows computers and have no
problem whatsoever mounting administrative shares such as C$ using smbmnt.

Using the same Linux computer at home, I try to access a computer
running Windows XP Pro, on which I'm also an administrator. I have
turned off simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer. The computers
are also connected through a router. I can't access using smbclient, and
I can't mount using smbmnt. The Windows XP computer has the name of
APPLE, and when I try

smbclient -L APPLE

or

smbclient -L apple

I get a message

connection to apple failed.

Any suggestions?

[Samba] Samba 3.0.23c-1.fc5 problem - groups

[Luis Felipe Marzagao/RBSM]

Hi there,
 
I use FC5.
 
I discovered, for an exemple, if you have a user group with 3 members (Alan,
Baker, Clive), before 3.0.23c this line at smb.conf worked fine:
 
valid users = @user
 
But with 3.0.23c update it doesn't work anymore.
 
You have to replace the line like this:
 
valid users = Alan, Baker, Clive
 
I mean, replace the "@groupname" with the complete userlist of the group
separated by commas.
 
It´s a quick solution, but some groups are big and it´s kind of hard to do
that with all of them.
 
Apparently, other people are experiencing the same problem, as related at
fedora forum (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=125460

&highlight=samba).
 
 
I´d appreciate any help or comments.
 
Attached my smb.conf and logs.
 
The workstation I´m trying to access the shares from is a Windows XP one,
and it´s name is "rbsm204".
 
The user is "felipe" and he belongs to "admin" group.
 
I found this at my workstation log (attached):

Yes, in that case it should maintain a more complete list. And yes you
just must have ONE WINS server.
I think you didnt got the point, domain master, local master, domain
controllers, wins server, etc are just roles of the same server,
enabling some options in smb.conf the same server can be all of them at
the same time.
BUT, other subnets need local master browsers too, they can be any
Windows workstation (normally you should not worry about that), this is
one of the reasons that all of them must use the same single WINS server
(I am not saying that yours are not), the LMB can be any available
workstation (the machines in the subnet should elect one automatically),
so any machine ending up beeing a LMB will use the  same WINS server to
find the DMB and sync. It works that way without you needing to care
about it.


Ok, if the wireless clients can see each others probably that segment
has an LMB with the browse list of that segment but just isnt passing it
to the samba server.
About the LMBs I just said that to make it clear, that the other
networks dont register themselves directly with samba to be included in
the browse.dat file, who does that is the LMB of that segment (as
explained before).
  

Thanks, I understand better now how it works.
So the LMB (any Win machine, elected) of the 192.168.3.0/24 segment must
send its browse list to the server, right ? I must check this traffic
with ethereal and/or with debug level 2. Sorry I didn't yet.



Not quite! 

The LMB does nothing to contact the DMB. The responsibility for browse list 
synchronization belongs to the DMB.


The DMB looks for the LMB registrations in the WINS (wins.dat) database. It 
then contacts each LMB to synchronise the browse list.


Ergo, if the WINS database does not contain all machines that are LMBs - 
browse list synchronization will not happen.


- John T.
  


John.

   Look at this at: 
http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html



How Browsing Functions

...
Instead, the DMB serves the role of contacting each LMB (found by asking 
WINS or from LMHOSTS) and exchanging browse list contents.

...

This is what you said.

But.


Cross-Subnet Browsing

...
As soon as N2_B has become the LMB, it looks for a DMB with which to 
synchronize its browse list. It does this by querying the WINS server 
(N2_D) for the IP address associated with the NetBIOS name 
WORKGROUP<1B>. This name was registered by the DMB (N1_C) with the WINS 
server as soon as it was started.


Once N2_B knows the address of the DMB, it tells it that is the LMB for 
subnet 2 by sending a MasterAnnouncement packet as a UDP port 138 
packet. It then synchronizes with it by doing a NetServerEnum2 call. 
This tells the DMB to send it all the server names it knows about. Once 
the DMB receives the MasterAnnouncement packet, it schedules a 
synchronization request to the sender of that packet. After both 
synchronizations are complete, the browse lists look like those in 
Browse Subnet Example 2

...

And thats the another explanation that I said.

Shouldnt that last explanation be different?

WINS uses UDP unicast (directed UDP) which is routable. What you have referred 
to is known as "NetBIOS helper agent" - a router configuration option that 
can perform forwarding of NetBIOS UDP broadcasts. This option is a VERY bad 
thing and is totally unecessary if WINS is correctly configured and if 
clients are working as they should.

OK correction...I have it on good authority that I have given bad advice
above...

1 - only 1 WINS server
2 - remote browse sync is not what you want
3 - clients need to have proper configuration of WINS server address -
if by DHCP, then you probably need to set the node type (option 44/46)
correctly
4 - OP should check contents of wins.dat (on my RH systems, they are
located in /var/cache/samba but on others, they are in /var/lib/samba
YMMV)

Not quite! 

The LMB does nothing to contact the DMB. The responsibility for browse list 
synchronization belongs to the DMB.

The DMB looks for the LMB registrations in the WINS (wins.dat) database. It 
then contacts each LMB to synchronise the browse list.

Ergo, if the WINS database does not contain all machines that are LMBs - 
browse list synchronization will not happen.

Wrong! WINS uses directed UDP. Directed UDP is routable. Does your router pass 
directed UDP packets?

Check your wins.dat file on hgsserver to see if all clients have registered 
with the WINS server.

Official Samba HowTo suggests that you would need a WINS server on each
subnet

http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html#id2588936

You might want to review the documentation - there is a possibility
that 
'remote browse sync = broadcast_address_of_remote_subnet'
might work for you.

[Samba] Re: WINS over subnets

[Hoggins!]

Okay, I checked on my clients, and what I see is for the most 
surprising: they only display hosts within the samba server's 
browse.dat, not even the other hosts on the same subnet (usually, I 
believe they would have been discovered through broadcast). So the only 
machines that appear on ALL the machines of all the subnets are :

- the server
- the XP box, located on the same subnet as the server

The other hosts' names can be successfully resolved by the server 
(checked with Ethereal) when explicitly typed in the explorer bar. But 
they are not "discovered" by the network browsing.


Any idea of the problem ?

The local masters don't seem to be doing their job, do they ?

Actually, my windows and linux client use cups as print server very

If you used cupsaddsmb to export your printer, CUPS 1.2.1 had a bug,
that caused problems with Samba.  (See below)
1.2.2 had a different bug with advanced features.  Try 1.2.3 or 1.2.4.

[Samba] problem accessing Windows XP as a client

[Norman S . Clerman]

Samba friends,

I have a computer running SUSE Linux 10.1. At work all the computers on
the network, except this one, are running either Windows 2000 Pro or
Windows 2000 Server. The computers are physically connected through a
router. I am an administrator on all the Windows computers and have no
problem whatsoever mounting administrative shares such as C$ using smbmnt.

Using the same Linux computer at home, I try to access a computer
running Windows XP Pro, on which I'm also an administrator. I have
turned off simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer. The computers
are also connected through a router. I can't access using smbclient, and
I can't mount using smbmnt. The Windows XP computer has the name of
APPLE, and when I try

smbclient -L APPLE

or

smbclient -L apple

I get a message

connection to apple failed.

Any suggestions?

RE: [Samba] Sync unix and samba passwords

[Craig Jackson]

 

Hello. It's me again. Downloaded Samba source and compiled it with LDAP
and pam_smbpass options. Of course it didn't work. The Changelog and the
INSTALL clearly point to this only working with smbpasswd. The LDAP code
has not been incorporated. Wouldn't call this a bug but more like a
feature request.

Anyone have a patch or maybe want to write one?

Humbly.

I never did that, and should be easy to test it out, but

Maybe you can use another variable on the path, to make

Any chances that your password contains special characters
that are not properly quoted inside SQL?

This is what I can think about, it does not looks like a
Samba problem, not even something related to NTLM/SMB/CIFS, more
likely that it is just the STORED PROCEDURE code.

[Samba] Samba not expanding AD groups

[Jim Millard]

I have noticed a problem with Samba not appearing to expand an AD group
name to allow access to a share. We have had to shut down samba
completely, manualy kill all smbd, and winbind apps (nmbd seems to go
away properly). Then restart samba to get access for our users to work.

Sample smb.conf entry:
[global]
  winbind separator = +
  ...

[test]
   path = /test
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   valid users = @"CC+Domain Users"

We currently have Samba versions 3.0.22 and 3.0.23a running on Gentoo
and 3,0,23c running on FC5.

I see this problem on all of these systems.

I have inherited these from another admin and I am not sure the configs
are all that complete or good.

I would appreciate any pointers to information that would help me clean
up this mess. I have already got the servers running faster by changing
the log level down to reduce disk activity. We have also set the
renew_lifetime = 36000 in krb5.conf thinking the old value of 0 was
causing performance issues due to authenticating every access.

Thank you all for any help you might have.

[Samba] Invalid Pipe Handle

[chrissie]

Hi,

i am using samba 3 on OpenSUSE10 with about 30 Windows-XP-Client. Aparently,
i find the following in the smb.log-file:

[2006/10/02 14:09:45, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(662)
  aaabbb (192.168.0.23) connect to service images initially as user aaabbb
(uid=1020, gid=100) (pid 26187)
[2006/10/02 14:09:56, 1] smbd/ipc.c:api_fd_reply(290)
  api_fd_reply: INVALID PIPE HANDLE: 7799
[2006/10/02 14:11:43, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(662)

Is this something critical i should take care of?

TIA,
chrissie.

Re: [Samba] winbindd cause system hang

[Superbiji]

The workaround is by deleting those problematic users in windows directory
and then add them again

setfacl again to her home


my smb.conf:
password server = 10.x.x.x

Looks like you winbind it not properly configured. Can you
please attach your smb.conf and also information about how did you
setup your nsswitch (libnss)?  Some log with increased loglevel
would be very good.

Re: [Samba] How to copy a file from linux to window pc

Hi,

What is the command to do it.

mount -t smbfs

Then How to use this ?



There are two basic options: either you can share a folder in Windows 
and copy the file from the Linux machine, or you can share your 
/opt/mailbackup folder in Linux and copy the file from the Windows 
machine. I don't recommend the first option because of security issues 
with Windows.


To do the second, you need to be running Samba on your Linux box.

First create an entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf (do this as root) for the 
folder you want to share. Then restart the smbd and nmbd daemons. On the 
Windows machine, mount the share then copy the file to where you want it.


Another option is to e-mail the file as an attachment to the Windows user.

Do you use groups to identify users which are allowed to read from 
the ***directory*** corresponding to the share in problem?

In other words, what are the permissions for that directory?
I ask this because there is a bug in Samba which causes incorrect handling
of domain groups.


With best regards,
P. Trifonov

I use this method on my FreeBSD 6.1 system.


1) Create a directory: '/c'

2) Create an alias:

 alias c:='mount /c'

3) Place this in my /etc/fstab file:

 //[EMAIL PROTECTED]/directory/c   smbfs rw,noauto 00

Obviously you will need to make sure that the drive or directory you
want to access are configured correctly on the Windows machine.

Now all I have to do is type: c: at the command line and the Win share
is mounted. I can then do a simple cp  .

Ciao!

[Samba] Auth Problem

[Marian Neagul]

Hello,

 

I have a problem related to user authentication: Users can not login from
Windows workstations.

I get the following error:

"The system could not log you in. Make sure your User Name and domain are
correct then type your password again."

 

Users can access shares, they are prompted for a user and password and it is
ok. The same user and password does not work for login.

What could be the problem? I've posted the logs and smb.conf  at
http://www.info.uvt.ro/~neagul/samba/

I want to mention that the server is a production server and was hit by a
hardware failure. :-( I restored everything but it doesn't work.

 

 

Thank you!

 

Marian Neagul

[Samba] fully qualified usernames ??

[Robert Gehr]

Hi there

Just a couple of questions to help me understand.

When I upgrade from 3.0.22 to 3.0.23c the access restrictions on my
shares on the member server no longer work. I read in the Changes file

"Since Samba 3.0.8, it has been recommended that all domain accounts
listed in smb.conf on a member server be fully qualified with the"

So far so good I know what I have to do still I don't quite understand
why the member server is no longer able to identify the user connecting.

When, on the member server, I do a "wbinfo -U ID" I get the correct SID
When I do "wbinfo -a joe%passwd" it succeeds as well as a
"wbinfo -a DOMAIN\\joe%passwd"

So winbindd identifies joe all right even without the DOMAIN prefix. Why
does this no longer work for shares on the member server that have

valid users = joe

defined??

The member server gets its local users and groups via ldap.

I also have in my smb.conf:
winbind trusted domains only = Yes


What am I missing??

Thanks

[Samba] Re: WINS over subnets

[Hoggins!]

Edmundo Valle Neto a écrit :

...

Theres some options that I think are not needed in your config, but 
probably doesnt cause that problem that you have, in exeption of this one:


local master = no

Try to set it to yes, I never tried to set it to no and let it be only 
the DMB to see what happens but the samba docs have something to say 
about that, "If you want Samba to be a DMB, then it is recommended that 
you also set preferred master to yes, because Samba will not become a 
DMB for the whole of your LAN or WAN IF IT IS NOT ALSO A LMB ON ITS OWN 
BROADCAST ISOLATED SUBNET". Anyway its at least recommended to samba be 
the LMB too.


Well, this option was previously set to yes, and it did not work either. 
Changing this, I thought it would make difficult the election of a LMB 
on other nets, but you say it won't, so I put it back, and maybe the 
other things I changed will cause it to work at last !


Do you have any other ideas about this config ?

Thanks,

Hoggins!

[Samba] Horrible write performance from XP to Samba

[Peter Daum]

I noted an extremely poor performance when copying big files from
a windows xp client to a samba share. The exact version of samba
does not seem to matter: I tried several different samba servers
with versions between 3.014 and 3.0.23b running on Linux 2.4.32
and 2.6.17 (machines and network otherwise idle, clients connected
via fast ethernet, servers via Gbit; network performance in both
directions around 95 Mbit/s). I made several tests copying a 1GB
file with Windows 98 and Windows XP clients. Reading the file from
the server takes predictably around 105 seconds (~9.75 MB/s).

Writing to the server takes only slightly longer on Win98 (130
seconds, ~8 MB/s) while the same takes approximately 45 minutes
from a XP client (I don't know whether this matters, I noted that
on the XP write test, the directory listing on the server
immediately shows a file with the final size - obviously a sparse
file, repeatedly invoking du shows the gradually increasing actual
size).

I wrote a little test program that just writes data to a file and
shows the throughput; the transfer rates I get that way are pretty
reasonable, so it is not a general problem but something that only
occurs on specific operations like copying.

Tracing the network traffic also didn't tell me what the problem
might be: XP uses for copying as well as for other write
operations WriteAndXRequest, the only peculiarity I noticed is the
slightly exotic block size of 61440 bytes per request when copying
(which also doesn't seem to be the problem - Win98 uses the same
block size with WriteRaw)

Has anybody else made similar experiences? (Since I could see this
issue with differently configured servers/clients, it should not
be just my personal problem. Of course in most settings where the
data usually goes mostly from the server to the client it is not
obvious)

Any ideas what's going on and what to do about it?

[odi]

The simliest way is to do this with smbclient, which is like a simple ftp 
client, type smbclient --help for command line options.
