Re: [Samba] Another try: apps can't see data files until use of Win. Expl.
Well, the programs that start automatically and use the data files on the share are not in the Startup folder. So they're started via the registry, but are run on a user-specific basis. Are you on Windows XP? How do you start something before a user is logged in by registry? Does this mean that they are all neccessarily services? No, but they should be installed as such if you want them to run without a user logged in. By drive letter. I have WinXP automatically reconnect the share to N: on user login. The applications, which, as noted above, are users-specific, then attempt to access data in subdirectories beneath N:\CommonData\. Yes, Windows reconnects after user login. More specific the explorer process does. And that is not reliable. The explorer does not guarantee you the reconnect. Do an explicit net use in a startup script. Give a net use /delete before to be sure. and the share is reconnected to N: automatically. nancy also has Mozilla running as a service (Quick Start), and that is also started at login. N:\CommonData\Mozilla\bookmarks.html. After the WinXP login is complete (no hourglass cursor) nancy opens Mozilla to find that none of her bookmarks are present, yet shared drive N: is shown in Windows Explorer and no complaints about failure to connect the share are seen. After browing N:\CommonData with Windows Explorer the bookmarks are available in Mozilla. No surprise here. Mozilla is faster than explorer startup. If you want to access a mounted drive letter, have a Programm mount it, don't rely on explorer to reconnect. Explorer only makes sure the drive is mounted if you click on it. But all that is not really a samba problem. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Re: [Samba] Disable timestamp change on file access?
Remco Barendse schrieb: I have samba on ext2, the clients are running windows. Normaly the date in windows show the last date/time a file was written to but now it show just the last time when the file was accessed. if you tell the explorer in details view to show all file dates (acess, changed, creation) are they different or all identical? as a mount option for the file system. I assume it's Samba because otherwise I would see the date change too when accessing a file from console? Never had any trouble with this, but you could mount your ext2 file system with the noatime option. But this should not be necessary because the difference between access and changed date is known to windows and unix.

Hmm, no real solution but the update stops if you make a touch on the samba server on all files. And a system with disabled ntfslastAccess doesn't update every time with xcopy /d. Looks as if this behaviour comes from differences in creation, access and changed times. (touch sets all of them to current time) And robocopy only picks the real changes, maybe you can use that.

Re: [Samba] NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate and smbmounted Win shares
Now, that is strange. Setting the readonly attribute attrib +r filename If you know how to use cmd.exe. If not use explorer, right click, mark readonly. would change this, but this may not be a solution for your problem. Try to revoke the right to 'write extended attributes' for everyone, Open security settings from a file, click the extended button, edit and look up the list until you find something similar. Mark deny. If you can't edit it because it's all greyed out, it is an inherited right. Create a new entry first or disable inheritance. Must be something in Win registry? No. If you don't know what user rights exist on a NTFS file system you really should look it up. Sorry that my mind reading capabilities suffer with distance. Keep in mind that names and settings are translated from german and could have different names in an english version of windows.

I wasn't clear enough perhaps. Maybe. original file. If NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate is set to 1 then the original file's LastAccessTime won't be updated after a DOS copy command, but it will if I use cp on an smbmounted volume. Now, that is strange.

Forward tick is not in the iso-8859-15 table. It is really replaced by Maybe you should switch to UTF-8, in order to be able to map the win-1252 table.

Re: [Samba] Using the right network interface
You will want to include the loopback interfaces Check the sections in man smb.conf regarding these two directives. You need to include the loopback interface in the interfaces list or smbpasswd and swat will not work. Hi, are you sure about the loopback interface?

[Samba] hide unreadable with homes share
Hello all, if i set hide unreadable on the homes share on a samba server (2.2.7 acting as domain controller) Win 2K clients (XP and NT 4 are OK) get the messages: The directory you are creating may be not writable do you want to continue? (translated from german) while creating a directory with the explorer, a mkdir does not give that error. The created directory is writable. The explorer creates a tmp file in the newly created directory and somehow decides to give that useless warning. Does anyone else see this kind of error? Or knows what the Windows explorer is testing for? By the way, i want to set the hide unreadable to let the NT 4.0 users only see their own home directory instead of the whole list.

[Samba] delay while browsing printer list
Hello, while using samba 2.2.7 with cups as print server for windows clients, every user gets a 15-20 seconds freeze of the complete desktop (mouse movement still works) when opening the printer list the first time after login. (If all printers are closed the can be reproduced). Has anyone else noticed this ? The workaround is to use a local printer instead and point its port from lpt1: to /servername/printershare. While this stops the delay it prevents the users from seeing print jobs of others, not quite what a print queue is good for. Known solutions available?

Re: [Samba] printer list from cups without restart?
Sorry to all for not telling the solution, i believed it was so obvious once i found it, so i felt a little ashamed for asking. As Martin Zielinski wrote sending sighup to all procesesses will work. To my surprise a '/etc/init.d/smb reload' does exactly this, and i believed this script exists on every machine, and everyone knew about it. I'm am now searching how to get rid of the 20 seconds delay on the windows clients when browsing the printer list for the first time.

For me it doesn't work since I noticed it a few months ago. Before that, I didn't notice, because I re-started smbd very often anyway (due to my experiments). I am using a range of CUPS versions (up to current CVS) and Samba up to 2.2.6. Windows clients are NT, 2K and XP -- none of the combinations worked. My printcap is updated immediately following the deletion or creation of a printqueue (I have more than ~30 regularly -- IIIRC I never tried it with a smaller number of queues...) Even rpcclient -- enumprinters doesn't show an update... What is your setup / versions / number of printqueues? I mailed to the Samba list several times about that already but never received any response (well once I was adviced to try SIGHUB, but that doesn't work either -- I really need to stop and start smbd)... Plus I was noticing others asking similar things (like you).

Re: [Samba] printer list from cups without restart?
Hello, This doesn't work for me (Details to my versions in my previous mail. Still attached below) are you sure that you reach all running instances? And do you check with net view \\servername or with explorer? I have the experience that the explorer doesn't update its display immediately.

This is probably related to the fact that smbd scans its smb.conf every 20 seconds... Hm, that would mean i could not stop this behaviour.
