How to start my Samba share correctly?

Every time I reboot my system I have to use Gadmin-Samba to re-activate my Samba share and it is quite annoying.
When I start Gadmin-Samba I get this:
http://oi44.tinypic.com/10glij4.jpg
I have to deactivate first and then activate again, then my share can be accessed by other computers. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hi thanks for your replies. I did check the wiki page where is also the place I started from zero to configure Samba in my machine.
The problem in my system seems to be linked with the winbind server because in gadmin-samba's settings window I see an option to start winbind server. And I always see a message of "inactive servers: winbindd" when I open gadmin-samba.
What is this winbind or winbindd server and how do I start it automatically?

How to access a samba share?

Hi everyone
I tried setting up a diskless folding comp to push out a few more PPD, which I did succesfully. On my windows comp when I go to Network Places I can see it in the group "Diskless"
I downloaded fahmon to see if I could monitor it, and all I had to do was type "\\Fold-2cb9\c\etc\folding\1\" for client location and I could monitor it on the windows comp...how would I veiw it from my Linux machine?

I tried that and it didn't work...
I used this command:
sudo mount -t smbfs //Fold-2cb9/c ~/Fold
and this is what I got
Error connecting to 63.251.179.32 (Connection refused)
4099: Connection to Fold-2cb9 failed
SMB connection failed
Edit:
I downloaded smbnetfs and ran "smbnetfs ~/Fold/" and now I can browse through everything! Although for some reason I can't open the "Fold" folder in Thunar as soon as I try it, Thunar immediately kicks me out back into the home directory. Then I tried to type the address in Thunar's address bar and when I hit enter the folder disappeared Although when I looked at my home directory through Firefox I could see it was still there and I could browse through everything...bug maybe?
Ah well..I'm happy

How to Start Tmocat 4.0 correctly in Win2000 ???

My OS is Win2000.
After I Installed Tomcat 4.0 and started it.Some thing confused me!
(1)I start it by Start - Program - Apache Tomcat 4.0 - Start Tomcat .
(2)I straightly press the batch file in {Tomcat-Root}/bin/Startup.bat .
The difference is that the former makes jsp running , but the later can't?
What's the reason ?Can some one help ?

Hi,all
I'v tried Apache Tomcat 4.0.4 but the result is still bad.
Maybe you should look at the log file in {Tomcat}/logs/localhost_examples_log.2001-07-29.txt shown below
Actually,if i execute servlet example in brower , it wroks .
The url is " http://localhost:8080/examples/servet/HelleWorldExample ", and
"Hollo World! " prints in my brower!
But if i execute the JSP Sapmles Numberguess, execption below occurs.
Apache Tomcat/4.0.4 - HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error

Windows samba share shows "zero KB" for file size....

Upgraded, clean install, to leopard and now I see "Zero KB" for file size on my Windows Home Server samba shares. Before the upgrade all that info was displayed but afterwards that info is gone. The only changed on my network was upgrading to Leopard. My linux samba server still works perfectly with 10.5 but the windows samba shares are not. I can browse, mount and copy files to and from the windows samba shares but the file size info isn't displayed. The file size isn't even displayed when I "Get Info" on a file. Previously using 10.4 all was working perfectly and all info was displayed and or was available if I wanted it. Not sure if it is something to do with how Windows Home Server handles samba or if it is how Leopard handles windows samba shares. No settings were changed on my network from when I was running 10.4. The only change on my home network/hardware has been upgrading to Leopard! No other changes were made to any servers or computers that were previously working perfectly with 10.4. Other than this "Zero KB" issue all has gone quite smoothly.

I removed the . (and moved the directory to match) but I still have the same issue.
Here's the smbd.log after a rebooting and then restarting samba:

How do I get samba to be wide open??

I setup my mac mini with 10.4 some time ago and something recently happened where my wife (XP user) can't get into our shared folder. She can't access itunes music either.
I've been playing around with this for a couple days and got lost on what changes I've made. Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get the samba shares totally wide open, then worry about how to secure it. What's the best way to open it up? Here's my config files. Thanks.

Mounting samba share starts avahi, ssh and sftp at client

The problem is at the client. When i mount a samba share (with # mount), avahi is started, which starts ssh and sftp. This is wrong on many levels.
Not sure how long this has been going on, someone else already asked this on stackexchange on 11.2.15, but didn't get any answers.
Journal output immediatly after mounting (hostname, ip etc. removed):

Thanks for your answer.

I'm not sure if anything is started, the term "Service ssh successfully established" sounds like the ssh serrver is started to me, but it might just be strange wording. What does "advertise as existing" mean?
From the snippet you quoted, it looks like the latter. Unless you have alread started socket activation for ssh or sftp, whether via systemd *.socket or inetd, I'm not sure it would actually be started.
I didn't enable anything manually.
I think you can rm/mv the sftp-ssh.service and ssh.service files /etc/avahi/services/ and prevent those services from being advertised.
OK thanks for the hint. Nontheless i would rather stop avahi from starting than configuring it.
Begin rant...
I'm a bit annoyed that avahi is starting without my permission. Seems like systemd is getting a bit overzealous with starting services. Interestingly this was one of the big problems with upstart, and was supposed to be solved with systemd. I still like systemd.

How do I add myself to the "staff" group for a samba share?

Hi all,
I've been struggling with this for a few hours now. I searched but could not find the answer (neither here nor google).
I am trying to set up a samba share on my raspberry pi and have it accessible by all other computer on my local network (just a home network). I want it set up so that when I access the share via my linux desktop I have read/write privileges, but when other users (my family, variety of linux and windows machines) access it they have read-only access and do not have to enter a password. I am not sharing any printers. The raspberry pi and my desktop are both running arch.
I am currently able to mount the share, but I only have read-only access. In the smb.conf file it has a pre-configured section for A publicly accessible directory, but read only, except for people in the "staff" group, which is the section I have tried to use. My user name on my desktop is 'gav', and I have created a user with the same name on the pi. On both the pi and the desktop I have added 'gav' to the staff group (using groupadd and usermod -aG).
On Windows machines: a Windows 7 desktop found the share and prompted for a password, I entered my password (as 'gav') and could access files, but read-only. A windows 8 laptop couldn't see it at all.
Here are some outputs of some things:
testparm (on the pi)

rlimit_max: increasing rlimit_max (1024) to minimum Windows limit (16384)

Thank you for reading

Consider using sshfs to mount your Pi from your Linux boxes. It's much easier to configure and manage than samba. It sounds like you already have your Windows machines mounting your Pi so Samba is doing its job in that respect.
More info on sshfs in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
To help get you off the dime, here's a modified line from my fstab that I use to mount my Pi with:
gav@PI:/mnt/backup /mnt/rpi/backup fuse.sshfs rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other 0 0
Subsitute my mount points with yours.
For a password-less mount:
ssh-copy-id gav@PI
after you've set up ssh and generated some keys on your client box.
Here are some relevant lines from the smb.conf file on my Pi that I use for my one Windows box in the house that might help you with your write permissions:
security = user
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
guest account = gav
; And my share setup:
[rpi]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /mnt
writable = yes
; printable = no
; write list = @krb
[torrent_dl]
path = /mnt/video/torrent_dl
writable = yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
guest ok = Yes
case sensitive = No
read only = No
Hope this helps.

How to remove samba share from dolphin?

Hi guys!
Can't remove samba share from dolphin. Moreover, can't found where this share mounted. mount doesn't shows that share mounted, but I can access it via smb:/192.168.1.5/share.
How to unmount this share?
Thanks in advance.

Why we may never know, but you can't delete it. Right-click on the toolbar & choose customize toolbar. Drag that Share button off into a cloud of smoke & click done. No more share button.

Files starting with period on samba share

Hi,
Is there any way to prevent the creation of files starting with a period on a samba share? I have seen the terminal command that prevents creation of the "ds_store" files, but what i'm concerned about is the creation of the hidden .htm files and such that are created all the time on this samba share.

Yes, "*defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true*" prevents the Mac to create .DS_Store files in network shares, globally.
But I don't see what you are talking about with hidden .htm files created all the time, I do not have such problems. Maybe some web site editor do create temp files this way, but it is the way it works, I don't think it is a good idea to prevent that.
You still have the "veto files" option in Samba server configuration to prevent file patterns to be used, but I won't guarantee all applications needing access to hidden files will continue to work.

[solved] how to start samba service?

the wiki says start smbd and nmbd daemons, but i can not find these service files. they are not provided by samba package or systemd package.
seems these service files were once provided by systemd-arch-units package which is no longer in the repo. but i am not sure about this, it's just a deduction from google search results.
the question is simple: what can i do to start a samba server now?
---EDIT---
seems i made a mistake here. i installed samba and systemctl failed to auto-complete smbd.service. it's all working now. thank you all.

Samba share shows up only after I restart samba

I've been setting up a laptop with Arch to use at work and home. The problem is I can not see my samba share until I restart the samba service. The server is available though. I can connect with \\IPADDRESS\SHARE. It's just not listed under Network Places or smbtree.
I have samba under DAEMONS in rc.conf and I've tried starting it in rc.local too. But even if I leave it out of those and start samba manually, I have to restart samba before the share will show up on any client.
The clients are Arch, Windows, and Ubuntu and the share is not available any of them. And the problem happens when I'm at work or at home. I've been googling, but I can't find much about a share being available but not being listed.

Best options for migrating Samba shares to DFS

My team is in the process of setting up a new domain for our organization. We want to slowly migrate users from non-AD accounts and workstations to AD (2012). One of the pieces we are having trouble coming to a consensus on is the best method(s) for migrating
the Samba shares from our RHEL server to DFS.
One idea was to join the Samba server to the domain then add the shares into DFS to allow the non-AD users to continue to use the old server and the new users to use the DFS server. As we had time (small team) we would join the individual workstations, have
the users start using their AD credentials, and move their mapped drives to the DFS share. Later, we could add a DFS server for replication and eventually drop the Samba server once everyone was migrated.
Another opinion that we should simply copy the departmental shares across to the DFS server and move whole departments rather than individual users, locking down the old Samba shares as we go.
These are pretty much theoretical at this point as I can't seem to find any documentation on how best to migrate from Samba to DFS. I would appreciate ideas.
Thanks.

Hi,
You could map drives to old server using the DFS server credential:
net use \\DFS server\\share Z: /user:domain\username password
Then run the robocopy command to migrate the shared folder from the old server to the DFS server:
robocopy “\\source server\drive$\folder path” Z:\ /COPYALL /B /SEC /MIR /R:0 /W:0 /LOG:c:\logs\robolog.txt /NFL /NDL
For more detailed information about the robocopy command, you could refer to the artice below:

Error -6602 while connecting to samba shares.

Hi everyone, i have some problems with samba client on MacOSX 10.5.8, the problem is that it connects to some shares and some not, and I don't know why, please help.
Here is my samba configurations on Ubuntu server, the problem starts after logging as a user kuba with password, it shows Erro -6602. Login and pass are correct, I use them with a parallel desktops windows xp, and it works. Mac is working with other server which stands on PLD Linux. I don't know if it will be usefull but if i can tell you that password doesn't contain any special chars, the only one is undescore char. The same password and user with some additional letters works on PLD.
I can connect to samba shares on this server with smbtree command, if I use
smbclient //server/share -U user with a password authentication it shows a wrong password (but it's correct).
When I delete the valid user definition I can connect to samba, but only with a readonly mode...

Hi Ramya,
Following checks may help to resolve the issue.
1) Whether Port 21 is open and allowed to connect with FTP.
2) Ping, FTP and telnet possible from PI box to FTP.
3) User mentioned in Communication channel have authorization for read and write on FTP server.
4) FTP ports are open.
5) Firewall setting done properly.

Leopard and Samba Shares

Hi,
I have a Samba-Server (3.0.28a) on a Linux machine running with shares for
Windows- and Mac-Users.
All new files and directories that was saved on the
server have the right permissions during the
configuration file smb.conf and the parameters
"create mask" and "directory mask".
Since the update to Leopard for the Mac, the permissions
will be ignored. Every file copied from the Mac to the
server have the permission 0644 and directories 0755
independet of "create mask = 0640" and "directory mask = 0750"
of the smb.conf configuration. The permissions of files,
copied with Windows to the Samba server are good.
Tests with the parameters like "force create mode" and
"force directory mode" have no success. The user permissions
are the same and doesn't changed.
1. Is there a bug in Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard) to work with Samba shares,
or a problem with ACLs? Because Tiger doesn't use ACLs (i think so) and all was fine, but in the Samba configuration ACL support is switched on.
Sometimes the finder (Leopard) doesn't show directories and files on shares, after a reboot of the Mac the objects are available again!? For me it's look
like an inconsistent performance.
2. Or is there a change in the permission technology
by Leopard, where is a different handling in Samba necessary?
Thank you and
best regards
oelauge

There is a change in Samba and the Leopard SMB client that can have adverse affects on how ACLs are interpreted. Filesystem ACLs have been supported starting in Mac OS X 10.4, so that hasn't changed directly in 10.5.
But this problem would be a server-side problem on your Linux box. Here's why:
Whenever files are copied, Mac OS X uses the following protocol: the POSIX permission bits of the copy are always retained. In other words, if the original file is 0755, then the copy will be 0755; however, the POSIX owner will be changed to the currently connected user. (Currently-connected can mean the user who logged in for cases where no permission masking applies. These cases will be limited to situations where the server and client are part of a common directory domain, such as Active Directory or Open Directory. For all other situations, masked permissions apply, and the currently logged-in user receives the permissions assigned to the user who connected to the share point.) Typically, the POSIX group is changed to match the group of the destination container (the folder that will hold the copy).
So, let's say Joey copies this file (to which Joey can only read):
SomeFile.txt
POSIX owner: Sally
POSIX group: SallyandFriends
POSIX permissions: 0644
...to this folder on the SMB server where Joey connected as snoopy, and snoopy is a member of peanuts...
ServerFolder
POSIX owner: linus
POSIX group: peanuts
POSIX permissions: 0777
...thus, Joey's copy should look like this:
SomeFile.txt - copy
POSIX owner: snoopy (because Joey connected to the server as snoopy - these are masked permissions)
POSIX group: peanuts (inherited from the parent)
POSIX permissions: 0755 (preserved)
The create and directory masks are for newly-created files and folders on the server, but not copied files or folders!
The real solution here would be to enable ACLs on your Linux server volume.
