Connect OS X Mavericks to old samba server

Hello dear community,
I am using a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4. Trying to connect to a SMB share on the router, I receive ("sudo mesg") "server does not support extended security".
Setting minauth=none and smb_neg=smb1_only in the nsmb.conf did not help for both smb://host and cifs://host
Is there a work around for Mavericks to avoid extended security? Or other way to mount smbfs on older servers?
Thanks in advance!

The ports are correct. The default is 25 and that is what the mac is using.
I guess I should have added this before - The outgoing works, but the incoming is the part that errors.

Connecting to Samba server "cannot be copied ...there is not enough space"

I have a user running OS X 10.4.11 who suddenly can no longer connect to our departmental Samba server. To be more specific, he connects just fine - but when he connects, it tells him "zero KB available" and if he tries to copy a file (a very small file) to the server, it gives him the error message:
+the item cannot be copied because there is not enough space+
I know for a fact that the problem is NOT a problem with the server nor userid because:
* the server has 7.5 TB of space available
* I can connect to the server from another Mac (running OS X 10.5) and can write/copy all the files my little heart desires.
Suggestions?

Couple of ideas...
In Finder, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
Trash this file & reboot...

Map linux shared folders to Z drive in Windows Client. Unable to login through Samba Server

Hi,
I am trying to map my linux machine to a network drive Z in Windows 7 . I added user guid in smbusers and created a password for this user through smbpasswd . Started Samba server on linuc, but when trying to create a network drive, it is asking for the login. I used credentials as GUID/<CREATEDPWD> . Not able to login with these credentials.

Hi,
To clarify a couple of things:
1- "reverse-route" does not have anything to do with this issue, the problem relies on the Windows 7 machine.
2- Do you connect with an Admin account (Windows admin)?
3- Do you run the VPN client as an administrator?
4- Have you tried to disable any AV or software protection on the machine (just for testing).?
Let me know.
Portu.

My Samba server stopped working and I have no idea why.

I set up a samba server once I got arch installed and it was working like a boss for about a month. Then one day (i think the machine may have rebooted) it just stopped working. I can't access my samba share from any of my other machines (all running Windows 7). I hadn't changed anything so I don't know what the culprit is. I did some update and looked at the smb.conf file but everything seems to be in order. I also tried to connect with smbclient from the machine itself and I get an NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.
What's going on?

Hi,
My thought is to check the current IP of the server, as your smb.conf has the line interfaces = 192.168.1.109 which means samba will only listen on that interface for requests. If the IP of the server has changed, that would explain why samba isn't working.

Can't see Samba Server in network browse

Hi there,
I have been trying stuff for hours, now I think it's time to ask someone:
I have a samba server with a static ip (netctl).
I can ping the server, ssh to it, smbclient -L is working and also in Nautilus if I use the 'Connect to Server' option everything works fine.
But when I try to 'Browse Network' I only see the Workgroup but when I want to access the Workgroup after some time of wait I get 'Unable to access location Failed to retrieve share list from server: No route to host'.
Also if I stop using static ip with netctl and use dhcpcd 'Browse Network' starts working...
I really don't see whats the problem, does someone else?
Here is my netctl profile:
Description='A basic static ethernet connection'
Interface=enp2s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=static
Address=('192.168.178.200/24')
Gateway='192.168.178.1'
DNS=('192.168.178.1')
And my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = SMB
security = user
map to guest = bad user
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 1000

i discovered a little strange thing...i can see remote pc only after 30-40 minutes after i booted the server machine, so it is not random, why this?

Connecting Gamecube to Macbook to access private server

I hope someone out there has managed this and can help.
I am trying to connect my old Gamecube to the internet via my Macbook's wireless connection in order to play Phantasy Star Online (I know, I know, I was just feeling nostalgic).
The game is now being hosted by a private server.
http://www.schtserv.com/connect-psogc.php
They have included directions on how to connect to a pc laptop with aid of a DRDNS a program that basically directs the gamecube to the new server. The program is not mac compatible.
Here are the directions: http://schtserv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=42
I have connected my gamecube to mac via ethernet cable. I tried manually configuring the network settings in the gamecube so that it connects to my mac. I was successful that far. What I cannot seem to do is get my mac to route it to the right server. I tried inputting the dns server manually and that did not work.From what I have read the gamecube needs to be tricked into thinking it has reached the old sega server. How can I accomplish this?
My Mac:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz

i can't see the pg from where i'm at now but it looks like they are making changes to some dns settings. think you might be able to make changes to the hosts file, but not sure.
JUST FYI for now: http://decoding.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/how-to-edit-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x- leopard/

Connect Oracle 9 client from windows 2012 server to 9.0 oracle database

Trying to combine versions of the Oracle client that weren't even certified on Windows 2003 with a bleeding edge Windows 2012 system is a recipe for pain and suffering. Even if you appear to get things working, there are any number of bugs that will likely crop up over time due to the massive version incompatibility.
If i understood right i can't make connection between oracle 9.2.0 32 bit client installed on windows 2012 to connect to oracle server 10 i?As others have pointed out, you probably can though you'll need to change the firewall rules. As others have stated, the firewall changes you'll need to make should probably be the same for a 9.2 client and a 10.2 client. But if you're determined to work with highly unsupported combinations of software, you're likely to have to embrace the idea that you're going to be blazing some new trails and that you'll have to spend a decent amount of time debugging issues that arise from your very unique combination.

Slow LAN connections MacPro(new) + Mavericks

Hmm.. We run IPv6 here among all machines in addition to IPv4.
Mavericks preferentially runs most services over v6 if you have it
and Bonjour goes for a v6 address too when connecting.
New MacPro to old MacPro (2011), MacBookPro etc. Mavericks on all.
Problem
1. SMB2 file sharing was transferring at around 300Kb/s
2. JollysFastVNC was almost unsuable, screen lag was awful.
3. Transers failing due to timeouts etc.
Tests
Forced SMB2 to SMB1, no change. Tried SFTP, SSH, same.
tried switching to link local address (fe80::) with no difference.
Everything is assigned a valid routeable v6 address via router
advertisement, etc.
Fix
Forced Mavericks services such as SMB to use IPv4, now see ~100MB/s between machines on
a GigE switch with a tiny cpu load, like 4%.
Note
What's odd is that IPv6 connections to outside (ie to the net) are blazing, we
see > 57Mb/s over Comcast Business class to Google, Facebook, for example.
This all worked peachy pre Mavericks (LAN wise).
Conclusion
1. IPv6 Mavericks LAN throughput is somewhat broken.
2. Force file sharing, VNC etc to use IPv4 by using the remote sides v4 address when
connecting.

My advice would be to uninstall BT Desktop Help and see how you get on. You don't need Desktop Help it and while it might not be the cause of your problems it is known to cause problems on some computers. To uninstall it follow these instrutions:
Uninstalling BT Desktop Help
Go to Start
Select All programs
Select BT Desktop Help from the list, then Uninstall BT Desktop Help
Follow the onscreen wizard through to completion
Check the Task Manager Processes tab (Ctrl + Alt + Del -> Task Manager) and "End Task" if any of the following are listed:
BTHelpNotifer.exe
McciTrayApp.exe
McciServiceHost.exe
If you see McciCMService.exe, 'stop' this in Services (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services)
Open the Registry (Start -> Run -> Type "Regedit") and delete the following directories:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Motive
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Motive
(If you have a 64-bit computer) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Motive
Clear the Internet Explorer Cache and Cookies (Within IE -> Internet Options -> Delete…)
Delete any leftover Program Folders from Windows Explorer (Windows Key + E)

Configure Samba Server as per note 680617

Hi,
I am installing Dialog Instance on Windows. CI(ERP 6.0) and DB(Oracle) are in Unix.
As per note 680617INST APPl. Server in Heterogenous SAP System Environment, I am configuring Samba Server.
in that note it has been mentioned as :-
On Unix, release the /usr/sap directory as SAPMNT. ( using SAMBA)
 --> is this to be achieved in writing in config file
 of samba .. if yes where ? need details. 
The user who is performing installation on the windows host as well as the <sapsid>adm and SAPService<SAPSID> Windows users created during the installation must have read and write authorization on this share directory and its subdirectories.
 --> How to achieve this. what we should do on the
 Unix side ?
My Best Regards

 PAGURAS to add more clarity to the Question

Paguras,
Look for a file called smb.conf......../etc/samba is where i would look for it......................
More details on samba config here............
Samba uses /etc/samba/smb.conf as its configuration file. If you change this configuration file, the changes will not take effect until you restart the Samba daemon with the command service smb restart.
The default configuration file (smb.conf) in Red Hat Linux 8.0 allows users to view their Linux home directories as a Samba share on the Windows machine after they log in using the same username and password. It also shares any printers configured for the Red Hat Linux system as Samba shared printers. In other words, you can attach a printer to your Red Hat Linux system and print to it from the Windows machines on your network.
To specify the Windows workgroup and description string, edit the following lines in your smb.conf file:
workgroup = WORKGROUPNAME
server string = BRIEF COMMENT ABOUT SERVER
Replace WORKGROUPNAME with the name of the Windows workgroup to which this machine should belong. The BRIEF COMMENT ABOUT SERVER is optional and will be the Windows comment about the Samba system.
To create a Samba share directory on your Linux system, add the following section to your smb.conf file (after modifying it to reflect your needs and your system):
[sharename]
comment = Insert a comment here
path = /home/share/
valid users = tfox carole
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0765
The above example allows the users tfox and carole to read and write to the directory /home/share, on the Samba server, from a Samba client.
Samba Passwords
In Red Hat Linux 8.0 encrypted passwords are enabled by default because it is more secure. If encrypted passwords are not used, plain text passwords are used, which can be intercepted by someone using a network packet sniffer. It is recommended that encrypted passwords be used.
The Microsoft SMB Protocol originally used plaintext passwords. However, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher require encrypted Samba passwords. To use Samba between a Red Hat Linux system and a system with Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 or higher, you can either edit your Windows registry to use plaintext passwords or configure Samba on your Linux system to use encrypted passwords. If you choose to modify your registry, you must do so for all your Windows NT or 2000 machines this is risky and may cause further conflicts.
To configure Samba on your Red Hat Linux system to use encrypted passwords, follow these steps:
 1.
 Create a separate password file for Samba. To create one based on your existing /etc/passwd file, at a shell prompt, type the following command:
 cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
 If the system uses NIS, type the following command:
 ypcat passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
 The mksmbpasswd.sh script is installed in your /usr/bin directory with the samba package.
 2.
 Change the permissions of the Samba password file so that only root has read and write permissions:
 chmod 600 /etc/samba/smbpasswd
 3.
 The script does not copy user passwords to the new file. To set each Samba user's password, use the command (replace username with each user's username):
 smbpasswd username
 A Samba user account will not be active until a Samba password is set for it.
 4.
 Encrypted passwords must be enabled in the Samba configuration file. In the file smb.conf, verify that the following lines are not commented out:
 encrypt password = yes
 smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
 5.
 Make sure the smb service is started by typing the command service smb restart at a shell prompt.
 6.
 If you want the smb service to start automatically, use ntsysv, chkconfig, or Services Configuration Tool to enable it at runtime. Refer to Chapter 13 for details.
Tip Tip
Read /usr/share/doc/samba-<version>/docs/htmldocs/ENCRYPTION.html to learn more about encrypted passwords. (replace <version> with the version number of Samba that you have installed).
The pam_smbpass PAM module can be used to sync users' Samba passwords with their system passwords when the passwd command is used. If a user invokes the passwd command, the password he uses to log in to the Red Hat Linux system as well as the password he must provide to connect to a Samba share are changed.
To enable this feature, add the following line to /etc/pam.d/system-auth below the pam_cracklib.so invocation:
password required /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok try_first_pass
Hope that helps

Arch Samba Server setup

I was hoping an experienced Arch server admin could lend a hand.
I have setup a new samba server on my LAN using Archlinux.
I have it set as a PDC; however, I get failures when trying to connect Win XP Pro clients onto the domain - "The user name could not be found."
On the client boxes, I choose System Properties > Computer Name (Tab) and try to join the domain using the Network ID Wizard and then try the "Change" button which provides a field to enter the domain name to join.
Neither of these work, but surprisingly, client boxes can access Samba server and shares by entering the domain name in the WORKGROUP field.
I tried to set the Samba server as a WINS server but it has not solved the issue.
My testparm output:
[root@a1 /]# testparm -Lv

Do I need to have Samba act as a LAN DNS Server in order to allow Win XP Pro clients onto the domain?
From reading the TOSHARG2, I didn't think it was necessary to run Named or Winbind if not attempting roaming profiles.
I use static ip addresses on my LAN.
Do I need to make a special group for the samba users in order to allow them onto the domain?
I'm trying to find an answer in the TOSHARG2 but so far I can't find a solution.
I would appreciate any suggestions to follow up on.
Thanks for reading.

Have you created machine accounts? (The ones with $ as last character)
edit: Oh and you know that you need a privileged account to join the domain, right?

External Samba Server

We are currently going through the test phase of moving from a AD based network to an OD based network and one of the problems we are having is getting our NAS devices to connect to OD. If we didn't support some windows users this wouldn't be a show stopper, but since we do this needs to work.
The NAS servers do connect and you can SSH, set permissions, etc. using OD users and passwords but we can not figure out the correct settings for getting SMB to work on them.
The NAS machines are nothing special just Ubuntu 9.10 running (trying anyway) Samba Server. We have poured over the Internet and a lot of the guides we are finding are mostly for connecting a Samba Server to AD. We have tried many guides trying to get it to work with OpenLDAP (OD is basically a wrapper for it) and we are wondering if the tweaks apple made to OpenLDAP are causing some issues.
Does anyone know the correct settings or know where to point us to find the information?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Time Capsule as Samba Server + Xbox 360?

I'm trying to connect a my xbox 360 or PS3 to my time capsule so I can dump my podcasts onto my time capsule and then stream them to my TV (without buying an AppleTV... or Mac Mini, which is what I really want). I seem to understand I can connect my 360 to a Samba server, and that the TC can be a samba server, but I can't seem to figure out how to set that up.
If anyone knows how to either connect a 360 to a samba server or how to stream media to an xbox 360 (or PS3) from a TC... I would love some help! I've been searching Google relentlessly, but my time on message boards has taught me I'm terrible at searching...

I'm trying to connect a my xbox 360 or PS3 to my time capsule so I can dump my podcasts onto my time capsule and then stream them to my TV (without buying an AppleTV... or Mac Mini, which is what I really want). I seem to understand I can connect my 360 to a Samba server, and that the TC can be a samba server, but I can't seem to figure out how to set that up.
Although the Time Capsule (TC) offers File Server services for SMB/CIFS, it is neither a Samba server nor a full-featured multimedia server. You can certainly store podcasts or other media files on it, but it will not have any means to stream these data to the XBox 360 or any other multimedia player device via the TC natively.

Removing old samba share from automount at login ?

Hi,
On both my imac and mac mini I get a message at login that it has failed to find the share/server "monika", an old samba share I had that's since been replaced with an afp share on a synology box.
How do I get rid of this message. I've tried looking at finder preferences, account preferences and done a good search of the web but can't find out how to do this.
Any help would be great

go system preferences > accounts > login items. if there is an entry for the share in your login items, remove it with the little "-" sign.

RSA1 DB Connection from SAP BW to external SQL Server databas.

Hello,
I am trying to connect our SAP BW system with SQL Server Source System through DB Connect in transaction RSA1.
Our BW system is running on Windows and MaxDB platform, therefore have I already added the latest dbmssslib.dll library to the kernel for SQL Server.
But the connection does not work anyhow, I recieve the error "Database error -1 at CON > [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does > exist or access denied." and I am quite sure that my input parameters are correct.
Therefore I wonder if someone has run into a similar problem and what the problem could be?
Best Regards,

Hi,
I am sorry that my case was assigned to wrong forum.
That should now have been corrected, however my problem still remains unsolved in one of our systems.
I found note 178949, which fixed the problem in one system. But even though the system setup seems to be identical, the two systems appears different.
The following has been done for both systems:
1. Upgraded kernel to 701 version 111 and added dbmssslib.dll and dbmssslib.pdb files
2. Created Logical system in BD54.
3. Tried to create DB connection in transaction DBACOCKPIT.
In the third step, the setup fails and I receive the following error message when I test the connection:
Database error -1 at CON > [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not > exist or access denied.
Database error -1
All profile parameters AL11-directories also seems to be correct in both systems, so both should find the dbmssslib.dll file.
One issue that I see is in DBACOCKPIT, the checkbox for "SAP Systems with basis release" is unchangeble and marked. This however, I think was changed in the other system automatically when the connection was established successfully.
Has anyone run into the same problem?
Best Regards,
Niklas Sandstedt
