I'm not too familiar with HP-UX so you may need to ask on the mailing
list.
The first question that comes to mind is whether your nsswitch
configuration
is correct. Under Linux you edit /etc/nsswitch.conf, but I don't know
about
HP-UX. The relevent lines in mine look like this:
passwd: files winbind nisplus nnis
group: files winbind nisplus nis
The important thing is that 'winbind' be in there.
Secondly, make sure libnss_winbind.so.2 is installed in /lib. 'make
install' does not do this on its own. Also, create a symbolic link to
it
named /lib/libnss_winbind.so. You may need to run ldconfig (or whatever
the
HP-UX equivalent is) after doing this.
The absence of 'getent' shouldn't be a problem because it's only used
for
testing.
I'm going to CC this to the samba mailing list in case someone with more
HP-UX experience than me has a suggestion.

Set the directory SUID group and if you want forced user do SUID user
also. Much preferred way instead of doing this in samba.
It's a Unix file system issue, not a samba issue.

Subject: [Samba] How to enforce client to download the profile form
server
Dear all,
i have the following problem. my smb.conf is working, but clients cannot
download their profiles from the server. I explain this on an example:
i have two windows machines: #1 and #2
i) i delete all local profiles in windows and a profile of user in unix
ii) login to machine #1, have the win dialog as though i just started
the
machine for the first time (which is true), set my personal settings in
Outlook. logout
iii) login to machine #1 again and everything functions o.k., logout
iii) login to machine #2, i have the same win dialog as though i just
started the machine, although it is not the case, since i was on machine
#1
already and no settings in Outlook. logout
iv) login to machine #1, the profile is gone, i do not have the win
start
dialog again, but my outlook settings are gone.
What could it be? It seems that the windows machine uploads the profile
to
the server, but in case of start on the same machine the local profile
is
being used. However the new machine does not download the profile, but
overwrites it with a new locally created profile. SO, as i see it the
problem is: the client does not download the profile form the samba
server.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Doh! I had the group ownership correct, but failed to ensure that SUID

Subject: [Samba] Problem with slow connection...
I have an application that from a windows it access text files on a
samba
server that uses a NT as password server. When it tries to access the
text
files, ir returns a error message that the path was not find. When the
user tries 2 or 3 times the same thing, it works and the application
runs
perfect without any problem. The point is that when I authenticate on
the
password server( a windows NT) it has a kinda of "delay", it hangs one
or
two seconds, and then the user application gets a connection time out.
Does anyone has any ideas how can I make the comunication between the
samba server and the password server get faster? Or there is any option
to
make samba send a string saying that he is authenticate on the password
server?

hello,
as a clue you should take a look at ntuser.ini in the profile location
of an
user :
[General]
ExclusionList=Local Settings;Temporary Internet
Files;Historique;Temp;Local
Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook;
This is the list of folders of the profile that do not synchronize...
I think this can help ;)
Please send me your feedback :)

Hey there,
I'm running the newest samba server with OS 10.2. So i'm hosting samba
on my
Mac and i'm trying to share with a bunch of windows clients. I can
share
files OK with them. We can trade and all that good stuff, but i cannot
seem
to set the permissions so that Station1 cannot Delete Station2's files
and
vice versa. I have changed the file permissions in my os and i figured
since
those clients login to the server with the same User Name and Password
as
their Mac User account, then the permissions would follow through. But
it
doesn't.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks-

If I set 'disable spoolss =3D yes' in smb.conf, XP machines have no
trouble
at all when printing. Of course, this requires a bit of per-client
reconfiguration, but it'll do the trick here for now. I'll turn spoolss
back on some evening when the network's not in use to get some good log
traces.

I've had the chance to give 2.2.7a a try, with no change in behavior.
LabView still takes several minutes to load, and disk utilization shoots
way
up.
Just to see what would happen, I tried Samba 2.2.5 and got the same
results.
I then dropped back to 2.2.4, and everything works fine. LabView loads
in
about 12 seconds, disk utilization stays low during the load, no locking
errors appear in the log, and nmbd/smbd processes seem to cause less
disk
utilization as well. What could have changed between 2.2.4 and 2.2.5 to
cause this?
If anyone has any suggestions, I have plenty of system time in the next
two
weeks to experiment (but I probably won't start until Monday).

Subject: [Samba] samba upgrade
Hi,
LM 9.0 (samba 2.2.6) can setup to authenticate using winbind. When I do
wbinfo -u, only
users of my NT domain is listed,
e.g.,
user_a
user_b
...
Now I upgrade to 2.2.7 using Mandrake update, and wbinfo -u, I see
e.g.,
MYDOMAIN\user_a
MYDOMAIN\user_b
...
Which option in smb.conf can I suppress the printing of MYDOMAIN?
Regards,
Norman

We have a very similar set up here, except that the controller for
the NT domain is an NT server not the Samba system with the print
server.
I've just finished upgrading this from RH 7.2, CUPS 1.14, Samba
2.2.3a
to RH 7.0 with CUPS 1.15 and Samba 2.2.7 now configured with both
"disable spoolss = no" and "use client drivers = no".
I did have a number of adventures with getting the drivers uploaded
using the "Add Printer Wizard"s in both Win2K and WinXP, but printing
itself has not subsequently been a problem with 2.2.7 for Win98,
Win2K or WinXP.
However, we are a odd in an important respect, namely that virtually
all our users are "Domain Admins" in the NT domain because we're a
research lab and folks are always mucking with the machines. I seem
to remember an earlier thread about poor print performance that had
a component related to privileged vs. unprivileged users although I
thought it was privilegd users who had the performance problem.

I did this, and still tar thinks the file was modified. Now I'm seeing
the
ctime drift like Timo noticed when I stat. The first stat showed one
ctime
and then the next and subsequent stat's showed an mtime 2 seconds into
the
future from the first. They were all even second mtimes.
> - remove smb_proc_setattr_ext()
I skipped this and went to the next step, then came back to this step.
Everything seems to be the same. I get the file changed as we read it
msg
while in the create stage, and Mod time differs while in the verify
stage.
> - replace ino->i_mtime in the smb_proc_close() call with a 0
I did this, now when I open the files, mtime is set to epoch for the
unix
machine's view, and some 2106 date on the w2k machine. when tar'ing
sometimes it sees the file as epoch, and sometimes it sees it as a day
or a
month before epoch (1970-01-01). Even using sysopen() or open() O_RDONLY
in
a perl script modifies the mtime. I realy didn't expect a file open in
readonly to change the mtime. An interesting thing was that shelling
`stat`
immediatly after the open() or even the close() calls in the perl script
still showed the old mtime, but calling stat from the command line after
the
script exited showed the modified to epoch mtime.
After trying all of the above, I re-compiled one more time, commenting
out
the DSET call in smb_proc_close. The problem is still there, and mtime
is
getting set, but now to wierd values, different months in 2019 as
reported
from the linux side. One time I run it and they are set to Jul 10,
another
time to Aug 25th. So, if the mtime isn't set by smb_proc_close call,
something else is setting it?
What are the reasons for the following questions, or where can I find
the
answers:
Why are SMB timestamps are only accurate to two seconds?
Why is the mtime modified even if the file is open in O_RDONLY?
Where (else) can I look to see why the results of an lstat are always
different than an mstat through smbfs mounts?

Subject: [Samba] Re: File Systems - Which one to use?
With reference to my earlier posting in this thread (Dec 16, 2002),
where I quoted some timings for tar and dump on ext and reiserfs,
I received a mail from Mr. Stelian Pop, the maintainer of BSD/dump,
who noted that tar is actually cheating when outputting to the bit
bucket. I've checked it up and found out that tar indeed skips a
lot if the target ("-f") is either "/dev/null" or redirected to
"/dev/null". My suspicion that there is something wrong with IPC
in Linux was unwarranted. The reason why tar is so much slower
when it writes through a dd pipe is that it then needs to output
all the data without skipping anything. To better understand the
issue look at this table of backup speeds (in MB/s) and ratios:
ext3 reiserfs ratio
Backup method\From (fastdisk) (slowdisk) reiserfs/ext3
------------------ ---------- ---------- -------------
tar > null 23.5 66.7 2.84
dump > null 19.4 -- ?
dd > null 32.2 23.4 .73
tar | dd > null 10.3 8.8 .85
dump | dd > null 18.7 -- ?
It shows that dump is a quite a bit more efficient backup tool
than tar when tar doesn't cheat. A tar from ext3 is some 15%
slower than a dump if we factor in the relative speeds of the
two disks. That it is 2.8 times faster on reiserfs than on ext3
when it basically skips all data and only traverses the directories
proves my point from previous postings - reiserfs is a quite a lot
more responsive file system for meta data manipulations than ext3.
Seeing how much handshake and massaging of meta data is caused
by SMB I am prone to believe that reiserfs is ideal fs for samba.
I hope to be able to fill in the blanks under dump/reiser entries
in about a month and a half and then we shall review the data.
My prediction is that a good reiserdump would be streaming at
about 35 MB/s or better on the faster of the two IDE disks.

Subject: [Samba] xp problem
I would appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction.
I am having a problem connecting to other computers on my LAN.
Configuration is this:
1. XP machine, 2 Win2K's, 1 FreeBSD running Samba (current or latest
version).
From XP, I can connect and read/write and print to FBSD but cannot
connect
to Win2k's.
Win2k's cannot connect to XP.
I suspect it has to do with the domain master and the os level settings
for, when the FBSD machine is off, connections between XP and Win2k are
ok.
What do I have to to to be able to connect to Win2k's at the same time
as
the FBSD (Samba)?
I am not running a domain, workgroup only. :))
Thanks in advance,
Pippo
