RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support
Is the Samba Team interested in supporting SNAP for 2.x versions? If so I can provide the patch.

RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support
These are prebuilt NAS (network attached storage) servers with html gui interfaces to configure. For more info go to http://www.snapappliance.com/. We buy 'em 'cause they're compact, stable, network ready, and have lots of disk space. -Original Message- From: Paul Reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 8:51 AM To: Irving Carrion Subject: RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support Is the Samba Team interested in supporting SNAP for 2.x versions?

RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support
Currently the snap has a hard time reading Samba's domain users / groups correctly. The patch (I did not write the code) simply fixes this problem. It works fine on W2k servers, but I think it runs on a windows appliance operating system. Not sure though. -Original Message- From: Paul Reilly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 9:26 AM To: Irving Carrion Subject: RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support These are prebuilt NAS (network attached storage) servers with html gui interfaces to configure.

RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support
Irving, Applying patches to your Snap Server is probably not a good idea, and usually impossible since the box doesn't have a compiler or the smbd source we use. If you're putting in a patched binary, that also may have unintended effects. I just don't want you to get your box in an unsupported state (since we do have free tech support for our customers). Please let me know the: 1) SnapServer model you have 2) The OS it's running 3) Where the patch came from 4) How you applied it Maybe you can also explain to me the problems that you were having. Is it using the Snap against a Samba PDC? If so, is the Samba PDC the place where you applied the patch? Also, the SnapServer is either BSD or Linux based, depending on the model. -Marc -- Marc Kaplan Software Quality Assurance Engineer SnapAppliance - Network Attached Storage Division 408-879-8769 -Original Message- From: Irving Carrion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 6:30 AM To: 'Paul Reilly' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support Currently the snap has a hard time reading Samba's domain users / groups correctly.

RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support
Thanks for your response! The patch that I applied was applied to the Samba Server not the Snap. It was a patch given to me by someone on this list (I'll have to look for his name to give him proper credit). It was written for Samba Version 2.2.3 but it is working for me in version 2.2.6. We have 2 snap servers that don't work correctly (although worked fine with w2k server and Samba 3.0). They are: Snap Server 2000 20gig mirror Dell Power Vault 705N (I understand they resell snap) 80 gig mirror Without the patch, both tend to not read users/groups with Samba 2.2.x PDC's. I don't know what operating systems the snaps have. Also, after speaking to Quantum support, they don't support anything other than W2k PDC's. The tech I spoke with didn't even know what Samba was. The patch is working great, I just wanted to make sure of SNAP compatibility with 2.2.8 before upgrading. If not, I may just have to compile from source again. Thanks! P.S. I can provide you with the patch if you need it. -Original Message- From: Marc Kaplan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 12:46 PM To: 'Irving Carrion'; 'Paul Reilly' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support Irving, Applying patches to your Snap Server is probably not a good idea, and usually impossible since the box doesn't have a compiler or the smbd source we use.

RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support
Ok, so the patch was to a Samba PDC, now this all makes more sense to me :). This is not something that our organization has ever tracked, but I'm glad the Samba community could help you in providing a fix to the PDC. Since we've never tracked it (The Tech was right, it is not officially supported), I cannot tell you whether the patch will still apply against 2.2.8 -- but I would guess so since it was written for 2.2.3 and it works for 2.2.6. -Marc -Original Message- From: Irving Carrion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 10:14 AM To: 'Marc Kaplan'; 'Paul Reilly' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support Thanks for your response!
