[Samba] browse ntfs files from *nix
I am not quite clear on how to browse windows files from FreeBSD. I have found two possibilities - sharity-lite and smbclient for Win32. However, I have no idea of how to use smbclient for Windows. My setup is FreeBSD 4.7 with Samba installed and working well. I can access kFBSD from WinXP other machines with no problem. But how do I read files on Windows? Google wasn't much help... :(( Thanks in advance. PJ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Please explain in detail what happens when you try to access the WinXP machine from Win2K and vica versa. You need to explain how your samba is configured as well as how the Win2K/XP systems are configured. Without this information we would be jst guessing - not very productive. Sorry, but I don't quite understand. I thought I had explained my setup fairly concisely. The Win2k and XP boxes are configured for workgroup file and printer sharing. There is no domain or domain server. FBSD is running samba as a file and printer server. I can only see the XP machine in My Network Places and the samba connection to the FBSD machine. When FBSD is running, I can connect from the XP machine both for file and printer access. When I try to connect to one of the other computers in the workgroup, I get the message: the path could not be found. Perhaps I am not clear enough: Before installing XP_Pro, I was able to see and connect between Win2K machines as well as the FBSD both for file shareing and printing. After installing XP, I can ping between the machines, I can map to the shares, I can print from the XP but I can no longer see the machines in the WORKGROUP on Network Neighborhood or Network Places (Childish nomenclature by MS). If I disconnect FBSD from the LAN, the Windows machines can, once again, intercommunicate. Perhaps I should dump the NetBEUI protocol on Windows and just map the shares on each machine. (Kindof a pain, IYAM) Maybe I just don't understand what the relationship should be between the samba machine and the others. The static address (192.168.1.240) of the FBSD machine show up as WORKSTATION and not as COMPUTER_NAME. If I may make an observation, it looks to me that MS is getting kprogressively bloated an unecessarily complicated as it evolves. I am trying to get away from it as much as possible but that is a little difficult as too many common people are still brainwashed by MS. Please let me know what specifics I should provide. I have been searching the documentation and the HOW_TO's with little success. Pippo On Sat, 21 Dec 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I would appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction.

From XP, I can connect and read/write and print to FBSD but cannot connect to Win2k's. Win2k's cannot connect to XP. I suspect it has to do with the domain master and the os level settings for, when the FBSD machine is off, connections between XP and Win2k are ok. What do I have to to to be able to connect to Win2k's at the same time as the FBSD (Samba)? I am not running a domain, workgroup only. :)) Thanks in advance, Pippo -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] incomprehesible quirk
I am really quite puzzled as to why I have to edit smb.conf every time I want to print to the FreeBSD machine from Win2K. (Running FBSD 4.7, samba 2.2.7 and cups 1.1.15.1_4. When I log onto FBSD with username, password, I see the folders for the printers, home, tmp, etc. but no printer. (Only 1 installed - Epson Stylus Color 900). I can access the shares on FBSD from Win2k, but there is no printer. If I edit smb.conf, with insignificant changes not affecting the printer sections (Printers and Print$) the printer appears. As a side note, I think that the Printer$ section may not be needed if I do not install any Windows or other special drivers - frankly, I don't know why it is even there :(( It appears that editing smb.conf forces the smbd program to reread the smb.conf file. But why would it not have read it correctly in the first place? Anyone out there understand this? thanks in advance PJ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

The machine is running, smbd is running; I just want to log on and print. :)) I don't want to go through the contortions of shutting a process down and then restarting it just to do a simple function (printing). You might post your smb.conf. Have you run testparm? Of course, I did. :)) As a matter of fact, I even deleted the [print$] section in my latest edit and print saga... I'll post the smb.conf file tomorrow. It's been too long a day...
