[Samba] Problem with Snow Leopard and Samba
We have a user who purchased a Mac Book Pro with OSX 10.6.2. Everyday he has a problem with one or another Samba Server. One day it's FileShare1 , the next day it's ProductionData Server. I use Windows and Linux and neither has a problem connecting to these servers. He has XP in VMWare Fusion and that works fine. But about every other day he comes and says some server won't allow him to connect. Sometimes a reboot will fix the problem. We are using Samba PDC with LDAP backend and these are member servers he is logging into. Today he is getting an error that the login is incorrect on one Member Server, yesterday he would log into a server and it would hang about 3 deep into a directory tree and require reboot of the system. Eventually that error just seemed to go away. Anyone know of some glitch or issue with software on OSX 10.6.2? I am not familiar with MACs and didn't think that there would be an issue, but thought someone out here may know of a quirk or something that would cause this type of problem and how to resolve it. Thanks, P.S. Are Snow Leopards an endangered species? Do I need a license to shoot a Mac Book Pro? :) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

The Microsoft applications gets confused. - $server1 - ProductionData - $server2 - ProductionData My user could not open for writing, and other permission errors, an Excel file on one of the shares because the shares have the same name. Mike Thanks for the info But I haven't even gotten to that problem yet. :) Oh joy the day. This is just simply connecting to different named shares on differently named servers. Maybe I need some tutoring on a Mac also, anyone have any book recommendations. This one computer seems to be taking up about 10% of my time in the last 2 weeks. I'd be looking for information on log files and other such troubleshooting help. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
