[Samba] Samba3 HowTo
The book is most helpful (I really like books versus electronic methods) and is a welcome addition to the help and information I get from this list, since Linux/UNIX/Samba is only part of my job. For those that asked: I found the first 4 or 5 chapters helped me the most, initially. This was especially good for those who haven't had a lot of training in Linux/UNIX or can't/don't follow all the changes in Samba, but are still having to make various systems work together. As far as other chapters are concerned, they make me look forward to attempting to implement other features instead of dreading the day they have to be done. Marion D.

[Samba] Samba3 HowTo
For John Terpstra: Just got your new book from Amazon. All I can say is: VERY GOOD!!! Can easily recommend it for anyone, especially those of us who just want to make better use of Samba but aren't Linux gurus/code commandoes! I wouldn't begin to know how to contribute anything, but I'll certainly continue to buy and learn from such good material! Thanks, Marion D.

[Samba] Off Subject
Pardon me for asking this general question with regards to Samba but I've been searching and haven't found a source that would answer my question. Is there some site, list, etc, that lists companies, schools, etc, who have volunteered information that they use Samba in their day-to-day operations? This would be of great interest to us as it would show Linux/Samba to be a viable solution instead of going exclusively with a Windows-server-based setup. TIA, Marion D.

RE: [Samba] Book on using Samba
The one other book I rely on, besides "Using Samba" is "SAMBA Essentials for Windows Administrators" by Gary Wilson (ISBN 0-13-040942-1). It really good if you're coming from a Microsoft background versus a UNIX background. Marion D.

Thanks. I'll start off the discussion, and hopefully, someone else will have comments on some of the other books. I'm totally biased towards, err ... myself! ... and members of the Samba Team who have written books. You can go to http://www.samba.org and select your nearest mirror site for the Samba web pages, then click on the "books" link. You are apparently in Singapore, so it would be here: http://sg.samba.org/samba/books.html Since Samba is being developed pretty rapidly over the past few years, I'd advise selecting a book that has been updated recently. This pretty much eliminates the one I'm working on (Using Samba, O'Reilly), for the next few months, anyway, although you can the first edition (1999) for free in HTML format in the Samba source code distribution, in the docs/ directory. For the moment, try SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours, 2nd Edition, which is by Gerald Carter, a very active member of the Samba Team. According to the webpage (which happens to be maintained by Jerry himself) that book was updated just last year. And if you don't mind waiting a while, the second edition of Using Samba will be available -- try searching for my name (Jay Ts) on Amazon.com. There is a listing there for it, although the description they had last time I looked was for the first edition. Also, there is Special Edition, Using Samba, by Richard Sharpe, another Samba Team member. It was updated in 2000. There was one more book I which I could mention - I glanced at it once in a book store, and thought it was pretty decent, but I don't remember the title or author. Any other recommendations?

RE: [Samba] smbmount question
Thanks for the reply. I'm setting up the NT box with WINS but will have to wait until after business hours to reboot it. The NT and WINS servers (one of my Samba servers) are on different networks.

The IP number should be of the machine you want to mount from, in this case the NT box. You shouldn't have to, but you may need to specify the netbios name of the NT box and give the ip number as a separate option. smbmount //ntname/manage /mnt/Man -o ip=192.168.204.100 This of course assumes that you have network connectivity from the linux box to the NT box. Other potentially useful options are the workgroup option, the uid/gid and fmask/dmask options. Check the smbmount manpage. /Urban -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
RE: [Samba] smbmount question
Thanks for the reply. One of the Samba servers is also acting as WINS. I've set up the NT system with the WINS info but have to wait until the end of the day to boot it for the WINS setup to take effect. Will let you know the results. Thanks, Marion D.

My home system has two subnets. If I try to smbclient -L a server (XP) on a different subnet, using smbclient -L 192.168.1.9 I get the following error: INFO: Debug class all level = 3 (pid 24708 from pid 24708) added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 session request to 192.168.1.9 failed (Called name not present) session request to 192 failed (Called name not present) However, the shares are all listed and things seem to be normal. If I use the server winsbios name (which is the same as the dsn name) smbclient -L elsa, I get the shares listed without any error messages. This only occurs when I try to smbclient -L to a different subnet. So, what happens when you try the NT server winsbios name, instead of the server IP address, assuming you have got a winserver and your linux box knows about it with the wins server parameter in smb.conf?

[Samba] smbmount question
I'm on a Redhat 7.1, Samba 2.2.3a server in a share called Public. I'm logged into the server as root, from the console and have cd'd to the Public directory. I'm trying to use smbmount to mount an NT share from a WinNT Server 4.0, SP3. The share on that server is called "manage." The IP of the NT server is 192.168.204.100. The Samba server is on a different network at 210.111.222.123. There is a directory named "Man" that will be used as the mount point on the samba server. I issue the command: smbmount //210.111.222.123/manage Man then press the Enter key. password: I enter the password then press the Enter key. I now get 2 error messages on the console: 955: session request to 210.111.222.123 failed (Called name not present). 955: session request to 210 failed (Called name not present). When I inspect the Man directory, all the appropriate files and directories are there. I see them with Network Neighborhood and with Windows Explorer. Does smbmount really do what I'm expecting it to do with a shared NT directory & files or is the above responses normal? Is there something else to do??? Thanks in advance, Marion D.
