samba - Feb 2014 - Problem browsing shares on 4.1.4 (Ubuntu 12.04)

Hi there,

I noticed this bug as we were due to put this into production and wondered
if anyone else had seen similar.

When browsing a PDC share on Samba 4.1.4 (like Sysvol or netlogon or any
other newly created one) from a Windows box we see this error:

"\\pdc\share refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a
hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure the disk
is... etc etc.."

Initially I thought this was something to do with the underlying storage
(SAN) and so moved the VM to a local disk. Same dice.

smbclient appeared to list the shares ok, but if you did a:

smbclient //pdc/share -UAdministrator

and then tried to ls I got an NTSTATUS error.

Today I have recompiled back to 4.1.3 and the shares work as expected. Have
also tested with 4.0.15 and 4.1.2 and they work fine.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Thanks,
Chris.

yes, 

i reverted also back to 4.1.3 .. 
i had other problems with 4.1.4 so i skip 4.1.4 want i wait until the next
release.
I tested this with sernet samba, debian backports samba, own compiled samba. 
( tested on ubuntu 12.04 and debian wheezy ) 

All same result 4.1.4 is not good for production i.m.h.o. 
I would look more in to it but i dont have the time atm. 

Best regards, 

Louis
