[Samba] Unable to browse workgroup, shares otherwise accessible

Hi,

 

After upgrading from Mandrake Linux 9.2 to Mandrake Linux 10 I can no longer
browse my workgroup domain in "My Network Places" from my XP Pro
clients.
However, I can still access the shares on my Samba server without problem
using either "Add Network Place" or by entering the path directly in
Explorer. Another symptom is found in my Samba log where a lot of the
following messages are being produced:

 

[2004/04/24 22:18:13, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(627)

  Can't become connected user!

 

Everything worked perfectly prior to the upgrade, and currently everything
besides the workgroup browsing issue still works. I am not a Samba expert,
and I searched the net without any decisive results, so I would really
appreciate if someone could help me out here. Below you will find essential
smb.conf data. Samba version is 3.0.2a.

 

Cheers,

Stalkerbrother

Well I can't be of any real help, but I ran into exactly the same problem
(though I don't recall seeing that error message) in a recent upgrade from
RH8 to Fedora.  Have not yet been able to resolve it here.

[Samba] Unable to browse workgroup, shares otherwise accessible

Hi,

Thanks for the responses.

I did a testparm, which is OK, workgroup is identical, and I do not have to
add the "3" to the command names in my case. I have researched this
problem
some more and I think it might have something to do with my guest account
settings. Under Mandrake 9.2 I never setup a guest account explicitly, it
just worked without it. I do not have a "nobody" account, which is the
default samba guest account, so I setup a "smbguest" account and I set
"guest account = smbguest" with no samba password required. This did
not
help but I increased the log level to 3 and got among others the following
log output:

...

See the attached file for a more complete log output. I think the key to my
problem is in the log entry:

[2004/04/26 21:00:53, 2] smbd/uid.c:change_to_user(141)
  change_to_user: Invalid vuid used 101 or vuid not permitted access to
share.

I also found that browse problems can be caused by several things, but they
should often be related to guest access problems to IPC$. Do not know if
this is the case here but it seems so even though my guest account should be
setup now. I have not yet been able to find any relevant information on
this, but I hope someone can help. Until then I will continue digging and
there are others that can benefit from an answer to this problem...

Cheers,
Stalkerbrother

Are the workgroup name the same?

I upgraded Samba 2.28 to 3.02 on mdk 9.2 and I have to add a 3 at the end of
testparm3, samba3 status, samba3 start 

Did u do testparm
