No they don't... I forgot to mentioned it. Any clue??

Thanks for the reply

Windows clients have always been flaky for me.
Do you log in to Windows networking on the WinXP machines?

Re: [Samba] Abnormal Windows behaviour with Samba

Hello all,

I am using Samba v3.0.24 on an Ubuntu Server system as a fileserver for 30
pcs. Samba is working nice but I face a problem that I can't tell if it is
because of Samba or Windows. Let me explain:

On the Windows terminals (XP SP2) I have changed the special folders
settings in registry, so as to redirect them to samba shares instead of
local folders. Among the folders I have changed is the desktop folder, the
start menu and the startup folder, which now point to i.e.
\\server\share\folder.


XP Professional or XP Home?

I don't even know if you can do that with only Windows.

I doubt XP Home but maybe XP Pro.

Are you providing the correct smbpasswd?

Good Morning,

I would like to run a question by your technical support team.
  
There is no free dedicated support team, volunteers answer what they 
feel like answering.



My employer is currently using Samba server (Samba 2.0.5a)
  

I think you have to upgrade to 3 but I'm not sure.
The best thing is to read the Samba manual.

 Solaris 8 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4.

Samba is configured to communicate through port 139.

However we have been asked to change Samba configuration in order to 


change the communication from port 139 to 445.

This configuration change is requested to improve network security.

I am not entirely sure what porcess/es or steps needed for this
alteration.

I would like to know if  there is any procedure or recommendation so I
would be able to

Implement this change.

In advance, I would like to thank you for all your assistance.

 


Regards,

George Sadathian

NetBIOS Names Are Not Supported on Port 445

HP CIFS Server A.02.* versions (based and Samba 3.0.x) can accept 
connections on port 445 as well as the original port 139. However, since 
port 445 connections are for SMB over TCP and do not support the NetBIOS 
protocol. NetBIOS names are not supported on port 445. This means 
features of Samba that depend on NetBIOS will not work. For example, the 
virtual server technique depending on an include = 
/etc/opt/samba/smb.conf.%L which ends up referring to another 
smb.conf.netbios name will not work.


You can use the smb.conf parametersmb ports to specify which ports the 
server should listen on for SMB traffic. Set smb ports to 139 to disable 
port 445. By default, smb ports is set to 445 139.

Do they both allow system folders to be on the network though?

That's right. Joining a domain is considered a professional feature, so
you have to pay even more for this.
Let's see when the limitations for the lower versions are broken - i'm
just glad i don't run windows.

I guess the new Aero UI is a professional feature too.
The Vista box says it is only included on everything above home.
I'm glad I don't run Windows 99% of the time.

[Samba] smb4k client

2007-02-15 Thread James Lockie

I am trying to get smb4k (KDE) client working.
It displays the computers on the network but not the shares (localhost 
has the only share that shows up :-().


The command line may give a clue.
This works:
#  smbclient  -L //compaq
but it prompts me for a password but I can just press return to get a 
list of shares.

Are you configured SMB4K? It has many configuration options, please do 
Configure Smb4k first, when didn't done. SMB4K works fine for my FreeBSD 6.2 
box, latest version is 0.8.0
  

Fixed, I set the samba|net||protocol hint to RAP.
It says old but it works with all WinXP systems. :-)
