Re: [Samba] SMB2 weird behavior with samba 3.6 PDC
What I meant to say is that Thunderbird downloads every message every time it is launched when I have max protocol = smb2 enabled. Without that line it checks the headers and is done. Even if it's not efficient I don't mind it downloading and caching the message once, but having to do so on every launch takes a lot of time and a lot of bandwidth. --- But SMB2 wouldn't affect the IMAP protocol. Is your local Thunderbird dir stored on a network share? If that's the case, then it's probably the same problem that others are experience about UID's not being resolved consistently (if at all)...that would cause possible file read/write problems and it might think it needs to d/l again. The thunderbird profile is stored on the users home share. This still seems like a SMB2 problem rather than a UID/GID problem since samba 3.6 works fine and thunderbird doesn't try and download every message again as soon as max protocol = smb2 is removed from smb.conf. Wouldn't a UID problem remain regardless of what the max protocol setting was? I don't have a windows server to test against, but surely this isn't acceptable behavior from a windows server. Hopefully one of the samba team members could help debug why all common browsers are unable to download files to a samba share. --- I'ts not just browsers. I was saving a large file (maybe that's the key -- a file that takes a long time to write -- was saving a 2GB image from from photoshop -- couldn't save it AT all.. Had to pull it out of the vfs_recycle to put it in place. I think you're right about many more programs being affected than just browsers. Notepad and thunderbird both seem to have serious problems and not just with large files. I was unable to open a very small html file with notepad and couldn't save my thunderbird preferences so long as smb2 was enabled. Have you opened a bug regarding any of your issues (specifically not being able to save files and them showing up in the samba recycle bin)? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Part of my problem (maybe all of it), is they changed the idmap backend -- I was using static UID/GID mappins for the most part, when I went to 3.6, all of my GID's changed and my pwdb got very hosed. Still haven't recovered (most things work, but winbind refuses to return any info on my GUID, even though locally it knows what UID it maps to. But log is filled with GUID lookup errors for mine and random ones -- alot of S-0-0. The problem on the 'that'file is that apparently smb2 opens the file you want to save in, first, but doesn't close it -- then downloads to a .tmp file, and then does a rename over the first (or a copy, not sure which). Anyway server refuses to allow it -- as it thinks the first file is still open. If you have server 'recycle bin' turned on (the samba module), (and use savetree), you'll find the completed files in your recycle bin named with some p.xxx tmp name. Just rename the file from the server and copy it over the first. I don't have a windows server to test against, but surely this isn't acceptable behavior from a windows server.

I have no '*' entry in my tdb file. Top level entry that everything is under is the Domain name. So many types of lookups don't work.

[Samba] [homes] share not created unless linux user has a home directory in /etc/passwd

Re: [Samba] [homes] share not created unless linux user has a home directory in /etc/passwd
The /home/samba/homes/user directory already exists and does not need to be created. The problem is that samba does not create the \\server\user share because it seems to be checking if there is an entry for the linux home directory in /etc/passwd. Adding a value of /home/user to /etc/passwd causes the \\server\user share to be set up and mapped to /home/samba/homes/user even though the passwd home directory, /home/user, does not exist.

[Samba] logon script running for xp clients but not 2000 clients
I've run across a problem where the windows 2000 clients do not run the netlogon script when they log in to my domain although the windows xp sp2 clients run the script fine. If I run \\server\netlogon\logon.cmd from the run box once the 2000 machines are logged in, it runs the script and maps drives fine. The other strange thing is that on the affected machines, \\server\homes maps to what is actually the netlogon share (the logon.cmd file is there). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
