191 >They test it against Windows
95, Windows NT and samba for
192 compatibility issues. At the time of writing, DAVE was at version
193 1.0.1. The
1.0.0 to
1.0.1 update is available as a free download from
194 the Thursby web site (the speed of finder copies has been greatly
195 enhanced, and there are bug-fixes included).
</P
198 Alternatives - There are two free implementations of AppleTalk for
199 several kinds of UNIX machnes, and several more commercial ones.
200 These products allow you to run file services and print services
201 natively to Macintosh users, with no additional support required on
202 the Macintosh. The two free omplementations are

247 >Basically, you need three components:
</P
253 >The File and Print Client ('IBM Peer')
258 >TCP/IP ('Internet support')
263 >The
"NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver ('TCPBEUI')
268 >Installing the first two together with the base operating
269 system on a blank system is explained in the Warp manual. If Warp
270 has already been installed, but you now want to install the
271 networking support, use the
"Selective Install for Networking"
272 object in the
"System Setup" folder.
</P
274 >Adding the
"NetBIOS over TCP/IP" driver is not described
275 in the manual and just barely in the online documentation. Start
276 MPTS.EXE, click on OK, click on
"Configure LAPS" and click
277 on
"IBM OS/2 NETBIOS OVER TCP/IP" in 'Protocols'. This line
278 is then moved to 'Current Configuration'. Select that line,
279 click on
"Change number" and increase it from
0 to
1. Save this
282 >If the Samba server(s) is not on your local subnet, you
283 can optionally add IP names and addresses of these servers
284 to the
"Names List", or specify a WINS server ('NetBIOS
285 Nameserver' in IBM and RFC terminology). For Warp Connect you
286 may need to download an update for 'IBM Peer' to bring it on
287 the same level as Warp
4. See the webpage mentioned above.

339 >30.2.3. Are there any other issues when OS/
2 (any version)
340 is used as a client?
</A
343 >When you do a NET VIEW or use the
"File and Print
344 Client Resource Browser", no Samba servers show up. This can
345 be fixed by a patch from

348 > http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leeuw/samba/fix.html

350 The patch will be included in a later version of Samba. It also
351 fixes a couple of other problems, such as preserving long
352 filenames when objects are dragged from the Workplace Shell
353 to the Samba server.
</P
361 >30.2.4. How do I get printer driver download working
365 >First, create a share called [PRINTDRV] that is
366 world-readable. Copy your OS/
2 driver files there. Note
367 that the .EA_ files must still be separate, so you will need
368 to use the original install files, and not copy an installed
369 driver from an OS/
2 system.
</P
371 >Install the NT driver first for that printer. Then,
372 add to your smb.conf a parameter, os2 driver map =
376 >". Then, in the file
381 name of the NT driver name to the OS/2 driver name as
386 >nt driver name = os2 "driver
387 name
"."device name
"</B
389 HP LaserJet 5L = LASERJET.HP LaserJet 5L</P
391 >You can have multiple drivers mapped in this file.</P
393 >If you only specify the OS/2 driver name, and not the
394 device name, the first attempt to download the driver will
395 actually download the files, but the OS/2 client will tell
396 you the driver is not available. On the second attempt, it
397 will work. This is fixed simply by adding the device name
398 to the mapping, after which it will work on the first attempt.
408 >30.3. Windows for Workgroups</A
416 >30.3.1. Use latest TCP/IP stack from Microsoft</A
419 >Use the latest TCP/IP stack from microsoft if you use Windows
422 >The early TCP/IP stacks had lots of bugs.</P
425 Microsoft has released an incremental upgrade to their TCP/IP 32-Bit
426 VxD drivers. The latest release can be found on their ftp site at
427 ftp.microsoft.com, located in /peropsys/windows/public/tcpip/wfwt32.exe.
428 There is an update.txt file there that describes the problems that were
429 fixed. New files include WINSOCK.DLL, TELNET.EXE, WSOCK.386, VNBT.386,
430 WSTCP.386, TRACERT.EXE, NETSTAT.EXE, and NBTSTAT.EXE.</P
438 >30.3.2. Delete .pwl files after password change</A
441 >WfWg does a lousy job with passwords. I find that if I change my
442 password on either the unix box or the PC the safest thing to do is to
443 delete the .pwl files in the windows directory. The PC will complain about not finding the files, but will soon get over it, allowing you to enter the new password.</P
446 If you don't do this you may find that WfWg remembers and uses the old
447 password, even if you told it a new one.</P
450 Often WfWg will totally ignore a password you give it in a dialog box.</P
458 >30.3.3. Configure WfW password handling</A
461 >There is a program call admincfg.exe
462 on the last disk (disk 8) of the WFW 3.11 disk set. To install it
463 type EXPAND A:\ADMINCFG.EX_ C:\WINDOWS\ADMINCFG.EXE Then add an icon
464 for it via the "Progam Manager
" "New
" Menu. This program allows you
465 to control how WFW handles passwords. ie disable Password Caching etc
477 >30.3.4. Case handling of passwords</A
480 >Windows for Workgroups uppercases the password before sending it to the server. Unix passwords can be case-sensitive though. Check the <A
481 HREF="smb.conf
.5.html
"
487 > to specify what characters samba should try to uppercase when checking.</P
495 >30.3.5. Use TCP/IP as default protocol</A
498 >To support print queue reporting you may find
499 that you have to use TCP/IP as the default protocol under
500 WfWg. For some reason if you leave Netbeui as the default
501 it may break the print queue reporting on some systems.
502 It is presumably a WfWg bug.</P
511 >30.4. Windows '95/'98</A
514 >When using Windows 95 OEM SR2 the following updates are recommended where Samba
515 is being used. Please NOTE that the above change will affect you once these
516 updates have been installed.</P
519 There are more updates than the ones mentioned here. You are referred to the
520 Microsoft Web site for all currently available updates to your specific version
528 >Kernel Update: KRNLUPD.EXE</P
532 >Ping Fix: PINGUPD.EXE</P
536 >RPC Update: RPCRTUPD.EXE</P
540 >TCP/IP Update: VIPUPD.EXE</P
544 >Redirector Update: VRDRUPD.EXE</P
548 >Also, if using MS OutLook it is desirable to install the OLEUPD.EXE fix. This
549 fix may stop your machine from hanging for an extended period when exiting
550 OutLook and you may also notice a significant speedup when accessing network
551 neighborhood services.</P
559 >30.5. Windows 2000 Service Pack 2</A
563 There are several annoyances with Windows 2000 SP2. One of which
564 only appears when using a Samba server to host user profiles
565 to Windows 2000 SP2 clients in a Windows domain. This assumes
566 that Samba is a member of the domain, but the problem will
567 likely occur if it is not.</P
570 In order to server profiles successfully to Windows 2000 SP2
571 clients (when not operating as a PDC), Samba must have
574 >nt acl support = no</B
576 added to the file share which houses the roaming profiles.
577 If this is not done, then the Windows 2000 SP2 client will
578 complain about not being able to access the profile (Access
579 Denied) and create multiple copies of it on disk (DOMAIN.user.001,
580 DOMAIN.user.002, etc...). See the
582 HREF="smb.conf
.5.html
"
586 for more details on this option. Also note that the
590 > parameter was formally a global parameter in
591 releases prior to Samba 2.2.2.</P
594 The following is a minimal profile share:</P
597 CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING
"
599 path = /export/profile
601 directory mask = 0700
606 >The reason for this bug is that the Win2k SP2 client copies
607 the security descriptor for the profile which contains
608 the Samba server's SID, and not the domain SID. The client
609 compares the SID for SAMBA\user and realizes it is
610 different that the one assigned to DOMAIN\user. Hence the reason
611 for the "access denied
" message.</P
616 > parameter, Samba will send
617 the Win2k client a response to the QuerySecurityDescriptor
618 trans2 call which causes the client to set a default ACL
619 for the profile. This default ACL includes </P
623 >DOMAIN\user "Full Control

639 SRC="/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/dsssl/modular/images/note.gif
"
646 >This bug does not occur when using winbind to
647 create accounts on the Samba host for Domain users.</P
