HPUX 9.05 & Samba 2.0.0 & problems !

Hi there !

I just upgraded (last friday night) our main Samba host to Samba 2.0.0 from
version 1.9.18p10. This host provides access to our own file based database
system. The number of Samba clients is around 60 (nearly all NT4.0's and
few NT3.51's). The Samba 2.0.0 host runs 
'uname -a':
HP-UX vertex A.09.05 A 9000/720 65914162 two-user license

After the upgrade change I've been having this ERROR in smb.log (normal log
level was 1):
..
'check_access_allowed_for_current_user: The process is no longer
waiting!'
..
this whole week few times a day. And this gives major problems to our
database users since the file being opened is one of most used database
file (d_PROREG) and this gives other problems if it can't be opened.
What's
funny is that most of these error symptoms seem to come from one particular
NT4 host (piai_nt) or maybe it is just that it uses the databases most ?!
First it seemed that the problems occurred if the user run 2 of the same
program (everything through Samba!) simultaneously but today this happened
with just one program. 

Anyhow I changed Samba to use special log file for this one host (by
creating smb.conf.piai_nt) and by raising its log level to 3 by giving few 
'kill -USR1 <pid>'. The size of the log file grows so rapidly that
I could
just use level 3.

var/smb.log.piai_nt (log level 3):
(You can see that the file 'd_LASKUTUS' is first used successfully then
somehow failed to open it and afterwards once again successfully opened ?!)

smb.conf (the major differences):
..
oplocks = false
locking = yes
share modes = yes
security = share
..

Samba 2.0.0 was compiled by me with HP's C compiler. I just ran
'configure'
and then 'make':

configure got e.g. these in config.h:
..
#define HAVE_SIGACTION 1
#define HAVE_SIGBLOCK 1
#define HAVE_SIGPROCMASK
1
..


I checked the source code 'open.c' and the function comments on
check_access_allowed_for_current_user() and it says that there is something
ugly in it with POSIX locking braindamage!

About one year ago (Samba Digest, Jan 1998: HPUX compilations and Samba
1.9.18p2)
I had problems with HPUX when the flag #define SIGCLD_IGNORE was removed
from HPUX. Lots of <defunct> processes appeared. Maybe this one relates to
this and the signal handling in general in HPUX 9.0x compared to other Unixes?

Does anyone have this kind of problems in HPUX 10.20? I know that we have
to upgrade to at least this version some day along this year to overcome
future Y2K problems, so hopefully this situation won't happen!

I decided to go back to Samba version 1.9.18p10 for the time being :-(

Initialising share modes failed

I saw this when trying to use a version of smbstatus compiled with a different
version of samba than the one running.  Make sure that both your smbd and
smbstatus (and the rest of the programs) were compiled from the same set of
source.  Perhaps something got installed somewhere else during the install of
2.0.0.

Question: WinNT clients not able to log on

To the list,

I have just installed samba version 1.9.16 on HPUX 10.20 and everything
works fine for Win95 clients, but when I try to access share's from 
WinNT, I get a login box that ask's for username and password, and after
entering an appropriate UNIX login, it denies me access with an error
saying "The account is not authorized to login from this station".

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

NT4 cannot login

When the world was young, Veres Ferenc carved some runes like this:
> I have win98 and NT clients for our Sambe server (running on Linux,
> not the 2.0 smb version but the older). The win98 works fine since I
> have added EnablePlainTextPassword to the registry information.
> WinNT still cannot log in, it says "incorrect name or password"
(after

It sounds like the behavior described in the winNT.txt (I think).  
Try using a command prompt on the NT box (ie, Net View 
\\samba_box).  If that works, then try the following:

net use x: \\samba_box\some_share

(oops, you'll have to add the username switch to the above command, 
but I can't remember the syntax right now)

If the drive gets mapped correctly, you can then browse to other 
shares via windoze exploder (apparently, browsing from NT4SP3 to 
samba only works if you already have at least one open connection).

The above works for me, but I have the same user name on both the 
NT and linux/samba machines, and I have the smb username map set to 
map my real username to the NT machine name.  YMMV

Hope this helps, Steve Arnold

Add the followings to your smb.conf file:

   case sensitive = no
   preserve case = yes
   short preserve case = yes
   mangled names = no

For more read smb.conf(5) man page.
