We use our SAMBA-Server in server security mode (conf entry: security server).
After upgrade to version 1.9.17p2 users which has to login to the
Windows network only from explicit defined Win95-stations can't access
any ressource of the SAMBA share.
The reason was the code change in "password.c" based of the suggestion
of Frank Varnavas (see: "RE: NT server dropping APPS due to samba").
After reestblishing the old code everything works fine again.
...
p = outbuf+len;
/* and my name */
#ifdef _VARN_FIX
/* Fix from Frank Varnavas <varnavas@ny.ubs.com>.
We cannot use the same name as the client to
the NT password server, as NT will drop client
connections if the same client name connects
twice. Instead, synthesize a name from our pid.
and the remote machine name.
*/
{
char buf[32]; /* create name as PIDname */
sprintf(buf,"%d", getpid());
strncpy(&buf[strlen(buf)], remote_machine, 31 - strlen(buf));
buf[31] = '\0';
DEBUG(1,("negprot w/password server as %s\n",buf));
name_mangle(buf,p,' ');
len += name_len(p);
}
#else
name_mangle(remote_machine,p,' ');
len += name_len(p);
#endif
_smb_setlen(outbuf,len);
...
My question:
Is this a clean solution?
When not what is to do ?
