Is SAMBA samfs aware of?
Hi there, we are running SAMBA 2.0.7 (bit older) on a Solaris 2.7 box on which there are standard UFS filesystem and SAMFS filesystem as well. The SAMFS is a filesystem used in HSMwhere files can be automatically archived to removable devices such as tapes and then files can be released from disks and become offline. The Windows 2000 "remote storage" is something similar to this. Our SAMBA server serves both UFS and samfs to windows workstations. I notice that when a user trys to open a samfs file that is offline, the user gets an error message. MS claims that windows 2000 can recognise offline files when its "remote storage" being used. It will show an icon indicating offlined files. When a user trys to open an offline file it will let the user wait until the file online. I just wonder if SAMBA can make windows 2000 be aware of offline files on the SAMBA server? regards, Tian
[PATCH] fix bug in lpq parsing
This patch merges some missing code from 1.2.4.4 on APPLIANCE_HEAD
into head, fixing a bug in the parser for lpq output.
Basically we're trying to concatenate several fields into a single
string, but the calculation of the amount of space remaining is wrong.
This causes a crash when there are a lot of fields in the output,
because a negative value can be passed as the length parameter to
safe_strcat.
This was originally HP Nautilus CR #430.
Please let me know if it's OK.

[PATCH] backport lprng_time parsing to appl-head
This patch backports LPRng_time() from HEAD to APPLIANCE_HEAD without
modification. As the comment says, it allows Samba to parse LPRng
output that supplies either just a time, or a date and time.
(I believe this fixes HP CR 594, because the lpr on that box supplies
a date.)
I'm not committing this directly because I want to be really careful
about that branch. Could Tim, Jerry or jra let me know if you think
it's OK?
Thanks,

Re: Using nmbd without smb for browsing
Thank you very much for your answer. I will try to run smbd on my system, and check that it works. The problem I have is that smbd (and nmbd) as I have built them are huge files even after being stripped (I get 1.5Mbytes for smbd and 615kbytes for nmbd). Is there a way to build smbd with only the necessary code to handle the browse list requests (and not file, printer, sharing, password controlled access ...) ? In other words is smbd modular in some way ? Regards, David. Le Vendredi 19 Avril 2002 01:44, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a écrit : Hi, If you want Samba to act as a browse master then you need to be running smbd. The way that it works is that nmbd will collect the browsing information and write it to the browse.dat file. When a client wants to retrieve the browse list it will connect to the IPC$ share on the machine and issue a request to receive the browse list, thus requiring smbd to be running. Smbd will then read the browse.dat file to server this information. Note that this is a completely separate function from being a WINS server. Without smbd running you will not be able to browse, but you should still be able to access the computer by name, e.g. by typing \\machine in the Run dialog box.

Win98 not registering in browse base
So, I tried to run smbd in the linux box. To be able to browse the network with XP and Win2k I had to change the security level to share... When in security level = user, it wouldn't work. Now the problem is that a Win98 PC wouldn't appear in the browse.dat file... It appears in the wins.dat file with the right name and IP address. And in the network neighbourhood, from the Win98 PC I can see only the PCs registered in the browse.dat file but not the Win98 PC itself... Is there anything special to do to have Win98 PCs listed in the browse.dat file ? David.

winbind enum {users|groups} ??
Hi, I was wondering about the winbind enum users and winbind enum groups parameters. The descriptions in the winbindd(8) and smb.conf(5) manual pages are a little skimpy. Am I guessing correctly that: a) The reason someone might want to turn them off is that on systems with a huge number of users (in the NT domain and on the local Unix system), the accesses to /etc/passwd and /etc/group can bog the system down, due to all the concurrent file opens on those two files? (Especially since getting info on the domain users and groups involves network queries?) b) When these parameters are turned off, that Samba/winbindd somehow modify the C library such that Samba _and_all_other_programs_ on the Unix system get blank data when the getpwent() function is called? Also, what happens with winbindd and Samba when either of these is turned off? Does anything break? Or act differently? BTW, I don't know if anyone else has reported this, but I noticed some typos in the manpages: 1. In the winbindd(8) manpage, the default for winbind enum groups is listed as no. I assume this is an error. 2. The two parameters are both listed as winbind enum in their descriptions in the smb.conf(5) manpage. 3. Just above that in the winbind cache time description, under Default:, it is listed as winbind cache type, rather than time. Jay Ts [EMAIL PROTECTED]
