[Samba] Wrong user used when mounting with mount.cifs

This may be sorta off topic considering this is probably regarding the linux kernel but I am hoping someone here will have the answer anyway. I am having the strangest problem when mounting a samba share with "-t cifs" as opposed to "-t smbfs" where, instead of mounting as the user I am logged in

Re: [Samba] file sharing over Internet

I don't know, but I don't think its a good idea... many times ISP's will even block such traffic... what I would do is tunnel over SSH... this would make it secure, give you the chance to use compression, cut though a firewall, and still be sharp enough to thinly slice a tomato... you'll have t

Re: [Samba] Screen-saver turning with samba - policy?

not quite sure what this has to do with samba, but one could write a logon.bat that merges a registry file with the settings you need... then, when said user logs on, they hit the bat, the bat merges the reg file, and the system is then configured to do as you wish... Did you set a policy that sta

Last time, then I call it quits... sorry If you get this twice, sorry. I never got my first message. This is strange, but I use samba for a software archive at work, and we are having trouble with Office 97. I traced it back to riched20.dll. The file is one the server, but it never copies.

[Samba] Reason for slow MS-DOS MS client writes

The low speed of writes with the MS-DOS, MS newtworking client has to do with the limit of MAXSENDSIZE (from TCPUTILS.INI) By default, the value is 1024, but the maximum value is 2048. If this value is not set to the same as the Samba server's SO_RCVBUF, then performence will suffer GREATLY.

[Samba] Painfully slow writes in MS-DOS

Hey folks, I was having a problem at work with Samba 2.2.3a (SuSE 8.0) as well as a Redhat machine I know nothing about and an HP Workstation station I know nothing about. Each had painfully slow writes from dos clients (for using Norton Ghost). I tried many machines, many nics, and even playe
