Change settings fo Samba(SMB) via smb.conf has no effect in 10.5 nor 10.6

Hello,
I would like to change some stuff of my Samba Configuration on my MacBook and PowerMac (10.6.2 and 10.5.8). But on both OS X Versions changing /etc/smb.conf doesn´t do anything and /var/db/smb.conf is written automatically, so how can i make sure the changes will be done correct and permanent.
thx
T.

Had a further play with my system. It seems as though smbclient respects the content in /etc/smb.conf. I tried using the -d4 debug option and my adjustments made in smb.conf were used.
However Finder seems to be broken and ignores smb.conf. Feedback sent to Apple.
Try smbclient //ip-address-of-NAS/share-name -W workgroupname -U username -d4
and see what happens.

Change settings to "Always Allow" via Group Policy

We upgraded our Flash Players from v6 to v8 (I know v9 is out
we haven't go there yet) a couple months ago, and we've just
noticed that we can not access some of our local stored Flash
content. Then error we get is "Macromedia Flash Player has stopped

your computer your computer or network:

I found on Adobe's website how I could add the site/file as a
trusted location via the Settings Manager Global Security Settings
panel. Problem is that I can't seem to figure how to accecss the
Security panel, unless I do it from a computer which has internet
access, which my network does not. Also once I make these changes I
don't know how I can push out this change to all the computers on
my network. I thought I could do it via windows group policy, but I
don't see any documentation from adobe showing what registry
keys/files need to be updated/changed to make these certain

Changing formsettings via UI-Api has no effect

Hy Everyone!
I try to modify the FormSettings via the UI-Api. (show and hide Columns in a matrix)
The Collumns are still visible also if i set all -> VisibleInForm = tNo.
The only way to see an effect was to close and restart SBO, then open the form again.
Does anybody knows a way to change the FormSettings so that i can open a certain
Form without closing SBO first and have all the collumns visible or invisible?
Here is my code, it only works with close and reopen SBO....
    Dim oCmpSrv As SAPbobsCOM.CompanyService
    Dim oFormPreferencesService As FormPreferencesService
    Dim oColsPreferences As ColumnsPreferences
    Dim oColPreferencesParams As ColumnsPreferencesParams
    Dim oColsPreferencesXmlFile As ColumnsPreferences
    Dim i As Integer
    'get company service
    Set oCmpSrv = oSBC.oDICompany.GetCompanyService
    'get Form Preferences Service
    Set oFormPreferencesService = oCmpSrv.GetBusinessService(ServiceTypes.FormPreferencesService)
    'get Columns Preferences Params
    Set oColPreferencesParams = oFormPreferencesService.GetDataInterface(FormPreferencesServiceDataInterfaces.fpsdiColumnsPreferencesParams)
    'set the form id (e.g. A/R invoice=133)
    oColPreferencesParams.FormID = "149"
    'set the user id (e.g manager= 1)
    oColPreferencesParams.User = oSBC.oDICompany.UserSignature
    'get the Columns Preferences according to the formId & user id
    Set oColsPreferences = oFormPreferencesService.GetColumnsPreferences(oColPreferencesParams)
    'change the width of all the visible items
    For i = 0 To oColsPreferences.Count - 1
        'check if the item is visible
        'If oColsPreferences.Item(i).VisibleInForm = BoYesNoEnum.tYES Then
            'set the width of the item
            oColsPreferences.Item(i).VisibleInForm = tYES
            oColsPreferences.Item(i).VisibleInExpanded = tYES
            oColsPreferences.Item(i).EditableInForm = tYES
            'oColsPreferences.Item(i).Width = 150
        'End If
    Next
    oFormPreferencesService.UpdateColumnsPreferences oColPreferencesParams, oColsPreferences

Hi Andreas,
This behavior is "by design":
The preferences are loaded during B1 start - and cached until it is closed...
Sorry,

Possible to change settings on share iphoto?

I was just wondering if it's possible to change settings when sharing photos via iphoto in ichat (such as music and transitions)?

To Play a Slide Show in iPhoto you can select it to play the whole library as a Slide Show by clicking on the Button
You can see by the option to show All Events above the pics that this is a Single Event rather than the whole Library but I have highlighted the Button
I have then this Pop Up which I have Selected the Music Tab and then the Disabled the Play Music Option
When I use iChat Theatre I get to the same Library, obviously, and can select the group of photos or single Photo I want.
If I select a Group and then hit the Play Button I get the Pop Up.
I find that the Play Music options always show the default Play Music when selecting a new group of Pics no matter if I have set a Setting on another group
SO Unlike I said Previously you will have to either preset it for the group of Pics or change it every time you want to show more than one Pic.

Cannot copy files from mac via smb

I have a very strange effect since I went from 10.6 to 10.7. (I am on 10.7.2 now).
My Windows 7 PC can no longer copy files via SMB from the Mac to Windows.
I first thought this has to do with McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since the error message is
"Catastrophic Failure" (nothing else) in a small popup window which says McAfee Endpoint
Encryption in the title bar.
But then I discovered I can also not copy files to my Ubuntu system. The error message I get on
Ubuntu (11.10) is: "Operation not supported".
Both systems (the windows and the ubuntu system) however can copy via SMB from other systems
or among each other. It's actually from the Mac with which I have problems.
Nothing has changed for my Sharing Settings, but the only way currently to get files from my Mac
to the other systems is through an external harddisk, not over the network.
I see messages in other forums talking about that SMB in 10.7 is broken and Apple changed
to an unstable code base, but I can't find real helpful information on what the source of this
problem could be.
Any ideas?

The guy who controls the GPL licensing created a new scheme to prevent hardware manufacturers from limiting users to what the manufacturer wanted the users to be able to do (see Tivoisation). Samba, the code that Apple used for SMB took up that licensing scheme. So, Apple had to find another method in Lion.
Try turning on the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) in your windows boxes and use that instead
I don't have much need for smb file sharing, so I don't have many details. I have seen hints that certain passwords don't work, but I don't know why.
Some useful sites for possibly finding a solution are MacWindows and MacInTouch.

WinXP AD users can't connect via SMB

Server is an Intel Xserve, 10.5.8.
Windows users get authentication errors when attempting to connect via SMB on the Mac server. The server is bound to Active Directory, and the Mac users are able to connect via AFP just fine. Macs also cannot connect via SMB. I get the error message "NTSTATUS_WRONGPASSWORD" when the user attempts to log in.
Local users are able to connect via SMB, but I don't want to re-enter a dozen or so PC users on this server if I can avoid it.
In the /var/db/smb.conf file there is an entry for a password server that may not be correct, but if I change it to the password server I've been instructed to use, the file flips back to the original setting when I stop and start the SMB service. I think if I make changes to the /etc/smb.conf file outside the END section, where the comments say to make changes, they will carry over to /var/db/smb.conf, but I'm not sure of the syntax.
If you need me to post the testparm output I can do that.

You're going to have to look into potential underlying issues.
I don't know what's happened for you, but I have an identical type setup for a client done over a year ago and no such problems have occurred.
What does the UNEDITED (please !) result of (using the Terminal) the following show:
cat /Library/Preferences/edu.mit.Kerberos
What happens when a user can't connect (error message, loginwindow shake) ? Are all client machines & the server using a common (eg internal) time-server ?

for when a user is unable to login.
Currently, I'm not able to check/verify the settings for any of the servers I've setup for clients in a "magic triangle" setting. I'm not certain about the "passwordserver" entry,
on the one hand the actual passwordserver is actually part of

Print Service- SMB - Can't get jobs to print on shared HP printer via SMB

I have been banging my head on the wall on this one, and a call to Apple support ended up with a lot of diags followed by “It must be the printer driver, call HP”
Has anyone successfully shared HP Officejet/Deskjet/Photosmart printers from Mac OS X 10.5.x via SMB?
HP Officejet 6110 (also tried with Deskjet and Photosmart printers with similar results)
Connected to Mac OS X 10.5.2 server via USB
Drivers tested: HP All-in-one, Gutenburg, Foomatic
Shared via Bonjour, IPP, and SMB for testing (Need just SMB for deployment)
Connected to with OS X 10.5.2 non-server version
Via Bonjour/IPP connects fine and prints with any of the above 3 drivers
Via SMB connects and sends print jobs that never print
The Server is receiving the print jobs, you can see it in the log, and if you have cover pages turned on you get a cover page for each job
But, the job never actually prints anything
I don't understand why it would be the driver since the same driver prints out fine via bonjour/IPP
Also, if I connect the printer to a windows box and share it via SMB that driver works fine
Connecting to the same SMB share from windows with the HP all-in-one driver produces the same results, the Server receives the print but outputs nothing.
Using the generic/text-only driver will print just fine (can’t find a generic text driver for the Mac for testing)

At least I try...
My setup is: Mac mini with OS X Server 10.5.2, HP DeskJet 895Cxi connected to the Mac via USB using the HP printer driver from the 2.7.1 package (yes, I had to downgrade(!) the drivers: the drivers bundled with Leopard do not(!) work with some (many?!) DeskJet printers as many others have also already discovered - see the postings in this forum elsewhere...).
The server is configured as a PDC. Samba is up and running, I can login as a domain user from the Windows clients.
Local printing with this setup works fine.
However, Windows clients can't print: same symptoms as yours. A cover page get's printed, but the spool data seems to end up in a black hole...
All I can see in the logs is the call to the "gziptoany" filter - and CUPS claims that it "exited with no errors". For me, it looks like it's eating the whole thing...
Upto now, I didn't find any solution in the net. I found some references that it should be possible to explicitely setup a "raw" printing queue and use this for the Windows clients, or alternatively to setup the clients with Postscript drivers.
Both seems reasonable to me, but these postings refer to Linux distributions and older software versions.
So for now I'm wading through the CUPS and Samba documentation, because I want to try to understand how these beasts are meant to be used and what Apple did to them.
I hope I will find a solution soon.
My "Plan B" is to get some nice little print server.
At first, when the printer was connected to one of the Windows clients, OS X could use it without problems even with the current drivers (HP 3.3.1 as well as the Gutenprint driver). So I would expect that some cheap "mini print server for Windows boxes" will also do for the server... oh, yes, still somewhat optimistic about getting something for my money...
If somebody else would be so kind and might try to help - here is an extract from my error_log with the - IMHO - relevant portion:

Macintosh mount server via SMB

Testing out mounting NW 6.5 SP8 server from a macintish using SMB versus AFP.. I can successfully mount the server via AFP and also with SMB. When I mount the server via AFP the mounted server shows the complete server name appended with the volume name ie (testserver.vol1).. if I mount the same server and volume via SMB is simply mounts as VOL1 (no server name)..
If i use Imanager and change the CIFS properties of the server to add shares for the volumes (ie add testserver.vol1) and then restart cifs, I cannot log into the server anymore (it reports back that a unexpected error has occurred - error code -50)..If I delete the added shared and let the server simply report the default names, and then re-start CIFS, I can again login to the server
anyone have any ideas ??
Thanks in advance

Are you trying to make the CIFS (SMB) mount appear in the same format as
the AFP mount?
If so then you can't but you can make the the AFP mount appear the same
as CIFS by setting the Shared Volume Name in iManager or editing
/etc/opt/novell/afptcpd/afpvols.conf.
Finally please note there is a dedicated support forum covering CIFS and
AFP @

When connecting to file server via smb shows no space available! Help!

We are running an XSERVE with Mac OS X 10.5.5 and have multiple clients that connect to it (mac and windows).
For some reason yesterday one of the clients (10.4.11) when connects to the file share using the smb protocol shows up with 0kb available and he is not able to copy any files. Every other computer shows 4TB available. When I connect to the share on his machine using my credentials I get the same problem. However, when I connect using his credentials on my machine it shows up correctly with 4TB free. Also, when he connects via AFP it shows the full 4TB. Any idea what could be causing this?
(the reason he connects via smb is because for some reason the people on 10.4.11 experience very slow AFP transfers sometimes. If anybody knows whats causing this that would help too hehe) Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to help me.

If it is an identical machine, put the machine that works fine into target disk mode and boot the machine that is having issues from the other machines drive. That will eliminate most hardware issues.
My guess is it is a system file or a settings file in the users library. I have fixed several issues like this on computers that were running 10.4 I believe and think they were upgraded from 10.3 by someone else. The issue had something to do with permissions and files.
Try some of the following:
- create a new user on the computer and see if that user works. if so, it's something in the user folder (most likely User/username/Library/). If not, then it is something outside the user folder.
Try
- running a combo Update on the machine
- run disk utility file and permissions on the drive
- Backup the user folder and clone the drive that works onto this drive, and move the user folder over. (assuming you know how to do that, it is easy)
REGARDING Slow AFP - having the same issue with 10.4.11 Server. Most clients are Leopard. Intermittent, so hard to diagnose. Tried several solutions on this wait and see issue.

Not going to sleep when PC is connected via SMB

If I have my mac set to go to sleep after a period of inactivity, it goes to sleep while my PC is still connected to it via SMB. Not while any files are beig used, but if they're not used for a while. Is there any way I can change this anyone?

Sorry - I was very tired when I posted that - I guess it could have made more sense!!
What I want is for my mac to only go to sleep if there's nobody connected via SMB.
At the moment, I either have to set the sleep timer to never, or when I start to work on a file from the mac on the PC I find that the Mac's gone to sleep even though the PC's switched on and connected to it. Then I have to go and wake up the mac and reconnect with the PC.

Bonjour,
Je dispose d'un Imac 27`` début 2011 avec Snow Leopard installé et d'un Macbook pro de fin 2008. Sur ce dernier, j'ai installé Lion. A l'agence je dispose d'un photocopieur professionel Xerox Workcentre pro 2636 interfacé avec l'ordinateur me permettant ainsi d'imprimer et de scanner.
Jusqu'à hier, j'utilisais avec succès le protocole FTP pour récupérer mes scan directement sur l'Imac. Comme j'ai lu que le nouveau Mac osx Lion ne disposait plus de FTP, j'ai configuré l'Imac avec le partage de fichier SMB. J'ai du reconfigurer l'imprimante Xerox pour qu'elle utilise le protocole windows et SMB. Cela fonctionne parfaitement.
Par contre sur le Macbook pro utilisant mac osx Lion, la même configuration ne fonctionne pas. J'ai pourtant exactement les mêmes spécifications ( settings, mot de passe, user, dossier partagé, etc) que sur l'Imac mais rien n'y fait, cela ne fonctionne pas.
C'est à croire que le partage via SMB est différent entre SL et Lion
Je ne peux donc pas mettre à jour l'Imac sous Lion, je dois rester ( pour l'instant) sous Snow Leopard.
Est-ce que quelqu'un a rencontrer le même type de problème et si oui, comment résoudre ceci?
Merci pour votre aide.

Hello Eric,
Merci pour la réponse, je n'avais penser à cette possibilité.
J'ai régler le problème en installant un logiciel tiers appelé Pure ftpd Manager et cela fonctionne maintenant très bien.
En fait la fonction FTP est toujours existante sour OSX lion mais l'interface n'est pas accessible via les préférences système. Il faut l'activer et programmer via des commandes "terminal" Pure FTPF évite cette fastidieuse programmation.
Bien à vous
JC

Mysterious user appears logged in via SMB

I'm running Snow Leopard Server (10.6.3), and for the last couple of days I've noticed a mysterious user logged in via SMB.
The connections panel shows user name "Guest" at address "DENY_NONE" connected for 00.00 hours. It seems to really slow down the network when this ghost user is accessing the server.
I may be wrong, but this user seems to appear after I have our Windows 7 test machine (iMac 3GHz Core 2 Duo) access the server.
I also get the following message in the logs for hours after the machine logs off:
[2010/05/03 14:01:10, 0, pid=51155] /SourceCache/samba/samba-235.2/samba/source/locking/posix.c:posixfcntlgetlock(250)
posixfcntlgetlock: WARNING: lock request at offset 2147516416, length 32768 returned
an Invalid argument error. This can happen when using 64 bit lock offsets
on 32 bit NFS mounted file systems.
The only way to get rid of this is by shutting down SMB for a few minutes.
Any ideas on fixing this? We're going to be switching all our Windows clients to Windows 7 soon, and I don't want to magnify this problem 10- to 20-fold when we do.
I don't get these messages when our Windows XP clients access files from the server.

I am also having a related issue that I noticed on Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3, I have upgraded to 10.6.4 and I am still experiencing issues. The error messages in the SMB log on 10.6.4 SL Server in Server Admin:

I have restarted the server and I initiated an SMB connection from my 10.6.4 MBP and then noticed in the SMB Connections that a mysterious user appears - Guest DENY_NONE
I am not able to disconnect this user, and this also happens when Vista/Win7 users connect.
I haven't seen anybody resolve these issues yet, but maybe someone here can help. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

Win XP can't connect via SMB to Leopard

Unanswered question from several weeks ago. Time to cast the line in again...
I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.5, and now the PC is unable to connect to the Mac via SMB for file sharing. I can see it in the Network Neighborhood, or specify the share (\\leopard1\useracct) explicitly. It doesn't go as far as authentication; just hangs until timeout. I still have a Panther machine too, and PC connecting to Panther works just like before. I can connect
++ Panther to Leopard, Leopard to Panther,
++ PC to Panther, Panther to PC, and even
++ Leopard to PC,
but not PC to Leopard.
I've tried adjusting the workgroup, but it doesn't stick when I do. (See below for update.)
I can walk over to the Mac and connect to the Win XP machine to transfer files. I cannot sit at the Win XP machine and connect to Leopard to transfer files.
I've read the manuals over and over. I enabled SMB under System Preferences -> Sharing -> Options, and I've tried two different accounts, one of which is admin. I'm very tenacious and I know my way around both computers, but I've really tried everything three times and I'm out of ideas. It's definitely not working the way the manuals say; in fact, if my Leopard machine would just read the manuals, it'd be working by now.
previous thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1736333
I found out why I had been unable to change the workgroup and have it stick:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307249
Now that all 3 computers are in the same workgroup, I can see the Leopard mac from the PC's Network Neighborhood, but I still can't connect to it.
Thanks,
Charley

Hi again Michael.
I found this is a very common issue with Mac OS X 10.5 that a lot of people are reporting. Check out the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195690&tstart=0 . All kinds of people are reporting similar problems.

Lost Connectivity with WinXP Home SP2 via SMB - Permission Denied

Suddenly today, I could not connect to my Win XP Home machine via SMB. Console reveals the following:
mount_smbfs: error from NetrShareEnum call: exception = 382312522
mount_smbfs: session setup phase failed: syserr = Permission denied
mount_smbfs: could not login to server FAMILY-ROOM: syserr = Permission denied
We recently had a trojan virus on the Windows machine but erradicated it. However it messed up the Windows firewall and had to reset the registry keys to eliminate a Group Policy message in windows firewall. Windows machine is operating fine, but cannot connect our Mac. We have a valid account and password on the windows machine.
Thanks for your help.
One more thing. I recently updated to iTunes 7 on both Mac and PC and Front Row 3 on Mac.

tried that didnt work i have however seemed to gotten rid of the samba fault message by removing the password=*** line now it mount proberly altough if manually mounting it asks for a password and i simply press enter and it moves on i still get permission denied when trying to mount with cifs though

Printing to windows printer via SMB - Printing garbled text

Hi all.
I have been working on this issue for around 3 hrs this morning and finally figured it out. Thought I'd post what I did to help others with similar issues.
Here's my set up:
I have a PC with HP photosmart printer connected to it. I've a Macbook Pro that I connect to the PC via SMB protocol for file sharing. If I wanted to print from the mac to the printer I had to disconnect the printer form the PC and directly connect it to the mac. I wanted to be able to print from the Mac to the printer via the PC. Should be that hard right as I have already successfully file shared via SMB.
Well it was a little difficult. I did many a search on here and the web and eventually found the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2231.html
So, following these steps i tried to print a single page word (office 2008 for mac) doc from the mac. Hey presto! The printer kicked into life and started...
...problem was it spewed out around 20 pages of Garbled text! I tought it might have been print jobs stacked up from the last unsuccessful attemt at doing this but no, no jobs there. Thought it might have been Word/office for mac, etc. so tried to print from Text Edit but same thing.
After hrs of screaming, F'ing & Blinding I finally figured out it was to do with what printer I had it set up on. I went into Print & Fax in System Preferences, highlighted the printer and clicked printer setup tab. In the drop down tab I selected printer model. It was set on Generic.
In the drop down list there it shows a huge selection of printers. my particular model was not there so I chose the closest thing and selected that.
After exiting all that and trying again it worked.
I'm very happy.

Hi iVirtual, what Mac OS are you running, Leopard (10.5.4) or Tiger (10.4.11)? Also, is your printer directly attached to your pc or is it a network printer directly on the local area network? One last question, do you have a firewall (like Trend Micro or Norton Internet Security) on your PC?
From my Mac running Leopard, I have no problem printing to a printer directly attached to my WindowsXP machine. However, I don't have the same luck from my Tiger Machines.
When I print to any networked printer (by that I mean printers directly attached to the network) from the WindowsXP machine with SP3, I always have to use the IP address. The printer.local name no longer works since I installed SP3.
simonparker, If your printer is directly attached to your PC using a USB cable, I don't think you'll be able to see it with the Bonjour Printer Wizard application. Since your printer is shared, you might check your WORKGROUP name on your PC. Something you might check is this:
Do you have a password on your user account on the PC? You'll probably need a password on your PC account. I don't think you can share anything if you don't have a password (I could be wrong, but it has never worked for me without a password).
On leopard, when I added the printer to the Mac I did this:
1) bring up System Preferences/Print&Fax
2) Press the + sign under the printer list, when the add window pops up, choose the "Windows" icon and you should see your workgroup name in the left list.
3) Choose the workgroup and it should populate with your machine name.
4) Select the machine name in the middle list and you should get a login and password dialog box.
5) Enter your PC's Username and Password.
6) You should see a list of shared printers in the right most list.
7) Select the printer and then select the driver.
Your printer should now be configured on the Mac. I know that I had to enter my PC's user name and password several times before I could print.

Change settings fo Samba(SMB) via smb.conf has no effect in 10.5 nor 10.6
