Samba Server For Mac Os X

Below are suggested parameters to use in smb.conf file of the Samba server to improve operability with Mac OS X clients. Note that some parameters may not work with your version of Samba - read the smb.conf and vfsfruit man pages (on Linux) for your system. A Samba password, which must first be obtained by clicking on the Samba Access link on the respective system's Webtools page below. The Samba password, separate from the RCI or Eden password, will be sent to the account owner's e-mail address. The same holds true for departmental accounts and student organization accounts. But as it probably has something to do with the Samba server, i'm posting it here. I'm trying to mount one of my Samba shares in Mac OS X, but haven't had any luck yet. I'm able to mount the same share as a networkdrive in Windows XP. I have tried to mount it in various ways. Please note: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2 Warp Connect and OS/2 Warp 4 clients don't need any extra software in order to run talk to a Samba server. These OS's come standard with TCP/IP which is all you need. Mac OS X also ships with a native CIFS client. Since OS X 10.9 Apple moved away from AFP to SMB as standard.

What I find most interesting is that the errors only occur when using finder. If I was working with files from a shell prompt, no problems at all.

I found several 'smb.conf' files in my Ubuntu 9.10, but I can't figure it out which one to modify. Could you just give me the path to the file?
Thank you.

I replied to skeeks by email before I saw this comment, so for anyone else with the same question the Ubuntu Samba config file is found at /etc/samba/smb.conf. In other Linux distros it is typically found either there or at /etc/smb.conf.

unix extensions have never been working with osx, especially when acls are used.

10.6: Fix Samba write access from OS X to Linux servers

Several people have written to me to point out that there are advantages to having Unix extensions on. That's true and this should be considered a workaround rather than a fix. When (if?) Apple fixes the underlying problem you should turn Unix extensions back on in your Samba server.

WOW! I was going through a lot of this when I recently set up a FreeNas box and was getting extremely frustrated with it. My solution was to manually upload everything via FTP to the server, but that did take a while.
Next time I have files to copy over, I will see if this works. Thanks for the awesome and timely tip!

Samba Server For Mac Os X64

10.6: Fix Samba write access from OS X to Linux servers

Free mac utilities. I hit this problem the other day after upgrading to 10.6.3.

I did a little bit of digging and discovered that it's apparently due to extended attributes on the files.

I was trying to copy some dmg images to my file server (Ubuntu 9.10, Samba 3.4.0) and it wouldn't work. If I tried to copy them via 'cp', I'd get an error about extended attributes.

I used 'xattr' on the affected files at the command line to remove all the extended attributes, and after that I was able to copy the files to my file server without a problem.

Are torrents legal?Torrents have a bad reputation due to piracy, but they aren't illegal in themselves and have lots of legitimate uses, including downloading open source software and material that's in the public domain.It all depends on the content you're downloading. Whether you need something that just gets the job done, or something more advanced that can be extended through the use of add-ons, you’ll definitely find something here. Provided the copyright holder has given permission for the file to be shared this way it's fine, but using torrents to download content you'd otherwise have to pay for is not legal. The best free torrent clients at a glance. Win 10 torrent tpb.

I thought maybe this hint would also fix the issue, but I didn't have a chance to test that before this hint about unix extensions came along (which works great, btw).

Hmm, so you need to adapt the external machine in order to correct a bug in OSX.? not very encouraging.
I am still stucked with the 'numerical passwords only' bug in SL. When connecting to my NAS (on a Linux box) I only get access if a I choose a password with numbers. Any character there will give me a 'non correct password' error in OSX 10.6.3 :-(
