Can't find include file /usr/local/samba/lib/%u.conf" When i change the ".../%u.conf" to ".../roland.conf" in the smb.conf-file, testparm does not complain. Thats it - the %u - variable seems not to be recognized in the smb.conf - i wonder why... (sorry for my late response, time is hitting me)

Hi all, i'm just experimenting with dynamic share-handling and have a little problem: supposing a share in the smb.conf: [my-share] # ... some commands and then root preexec = echo name: %u group: %g >> /home/roland/test.txt Creates an entry in test.txt by window$-clicking to the share...

encrypt passwords = Yes ?

Ooops - I forgot to mention: the samba- version is 2.2.7a ...

Hi folks, i have a Samba-PDC and everything works fine but: Windows- users are not able to change the Password from their Windows-Boxes. When i click the user/domain, there is the message 'The password for Roland cannot be changed' and the 'Change password'-button is not active. Here a...

I dont change the profile-settings in the smb.conf - i join a workstation to the domain with saveing profiles, My Documents etc. at the first time and then(!) i switch to the local profiles...

Hi all, i'm trying to move from Samba-Workgroup Server to PDC so i set the following globals: [global] workgroup = SAMBADOMAIN #formerly: SAMBAGRP netbios name = HAMLET security = DOMAIN # formerly: share encrypt passwords = Yes logon script = logon.cmd #new logon home =...

Got it. In my case, i installed the patched(!) 4.8.3 Novell-Client (e.g. from http://www.rz.uni-wuerzburg.de/dienste/arbeitsplatz/support/installation/clientdownload.html) and it works fine. Hope it helps, Roland.

Wow, so me! I have exactly the same problem (and the same environment)! Wonder if it has s.th. to do with installation under Administrator/Normal user. Let you know, if i have further insights... Stay tough!

Check, if /etc/inetd.conf has the entry: swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat Hope it helps.

Hm, normally, SWAT is started by the inetd- superserver, which requires the following entry in the /etc/inetd.conf : swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/sbin/swat swat Maybe it is commented out?

Well, iff you still ogle with the database-storing, http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/florian19991014.php3 may be helpful. (But like my colleagues, I would prefer the url-solution.)

Yo! Dead right, you got it. Thanks a lot!
