Samba Server For Mac Os X

broken image



  1. 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.
  2. Samba - Mac OS X an applications, along with other 'makes more sense' helpers, that the typical Mac user (just turn it on and create) needs, because Apple has lost it's direction in OS building.
  3. Samba protocol in Mac OS 10.12 uses ACLs in a similar way as Windows OS Samba. To get Samba ACL works in Mac OS and Window OS, suppose Samba server runs in Redhat OS 7, then in smb.conf, the following lines should be added to the global or the corresponding share section.

PDF Ebook: Using Samba: A File and Print Server for Linux, Unix & Mac OS X, 3rd Edition Author: Gerald Carter ISBN 10: ISBN 13: 690 Version: PDF Language: English About this title: This book is the comprehensive guide to Samba administration, officially adopted by the Samba.

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!

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

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.

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).

Samba Server On Windows

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 :-(
