Hello,
We are running Samba 2.0.4b2 with the following configuration.
-hershey1 (SCO UnixWare 7.1 Samba PDC server)
-netpc2 (NT WKS4 client of the PDC's domain)
-eventually other Win 9X, NT clients...
In DIAGNOSIS.txt, test 3 fails like this :
# smbclient -L hershey1
...
session request ok
write_socket(3,168)
write_socket(3,168) wrote 168
read_with_timeout: timeout read. EOF from client.
receive_smb: length < 0!
client_receive_smb failed
...
protocol negotiation failed
I looked in the source code and it fails in the /lib/util_sock.c because :
"We got EOF on the file descriptor". This is where len
read_smb_length_return_keepalive(fd, buffer, timeout) is returning len < 0.
Samba works well to map drives but wait for a LONG period of time at Win NT
WKS4's login to the PDC or shutdown. When trying to change password with
Ctrl+Alt+Del, it fails when unix passwd synch = yes with the following
/var/log.netpc2 :
[1999/06/09 05:54:55, 10] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(189)
Invoking '/usr/bin/passwd goulet' as password change program.
[1999/06/09 05:55:00, 10] lib/util_sock.c:(302)
read_with_timeout: timeout read. select timed out.
[1999/06/09 05:55:00, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(266)
response 1 incorrect

Child failed to change password: goulet
[1999/06/09 05:55:00, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(347)
The process exited while we were waiting
This is probably a bad configuration of the smb.conf file :
[global]
workgroup = TESTSAMBA
server string = Hershey1
debug level = 20
encrypt passwords = Yes
domain logons = Yes
domain master = Yes
preferred master = Yes
local master = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *password*%n\n*password*%n\n*succesfull*
passwd chat debug = Yes
load printers = yes
unix password sync = Yes
# unix password sync = No
username map = /usr1/samba/lib/users.map
log file = /usr1/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = user
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
dns proxy = no
preserve case = Yes
short preserve case = Yes
os level = 65
name resolve order = host lmhosts wins bcast
Any idea of the optimisations I can do? I know the passwd program can't be
NIS because it requires the old password but has anybody made a script to
change the passwd.byname.pag password entry to xxxxxxxxxxxxx and enter an
empty password at the yppasswd old password entry so the total full duplex
password synchronisation between UNIX and Windows with NIS and Samba can be
possible?
Thanks a lot!!!
