Yes, they're the solo PDC in the lan and we haven't had an problems, but that does clear it up for me. At most, we connect our W2k3 servers to our Samba PDC's, that's working fine. Aaron Kincer wrote: > If they are working great as PDC's, I wouldn't worry too much. As a file > server in an Active

If they are working great as PDC's, I wouldn't worry too much. As a file server in an Active Directory environment, the Red Hat version of Samba on RHEL4 is, in my opinion, unacceptably broken. It's little things like file locking not working right and strange other quirks that I can't remember

Hi Don, What are the details (OS/type, etc.) of the NFS server that you are mounting these resources from? Is it possible that you are mounting an older 32 bit NFS service from a system that is evidently 64 bit capable? Samba server: RHEL4 (32-bit Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz). NFS server: RHEL3 (32-

We run samba-3.0.23c on some Redhat RHEL4 servers, and Samba used to work like a charm. But then a couple of days ago we upgraded the kernel on the Samba servers to kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.8.EL. All of a sudden our Windows users could not use Microsoft Office with files on the Samba shares :-( Ou
