samba - Feb 2000 - Samba breaking for me between 2.0.4b and 2.0.6

Hi All

A lazy question I guess before I start trawling through past messages
and changes docs.

We've been running a fairly simple samba config on Solaris 2.5.1
OK with version 2.0.4b. Just simple file and print sharing in a
workgroup.

After upgrading to 2.0.6 something seems to break.
File and print sharing doesn't work and error messages such as
remote computer (the samba server) not found occur.

A quick make revert to get back to 2.0.4b fixes the problem.

Is there some change in the default behaviour of samba between
2.0.4b and 2.0.6 that would account for this?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

Greg


Config file follows (with some irrelevant stuff deleted and
names changed to protect the innocent!):

[global]
          workgroup = WORKGROUP
          server string = Samba Server %v
          security = SHARE
          password level = 4
          log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.smb.%m
          printcap name = /usr/local/samba/lib/printcap
          os level = 255
          local master = No
          preload = homes public
          printer name = lp

  [homes]
          comment = User Home Directories
          read only = No
          create mask = 0750
          short preserve case = No
          browseable = No

  [printers]
          path = /usr/spool/public
          create mask = 0777
          guest ok = Yes
          print ok = Yes
 
  [public]
          comment = Public Read-Only Area
          path = /disk2/public
          guest ok = Yes

  [licensed]
          comment = Licensed Software
          path = /disk2/licensed

  [cdrom]
          comment = Unix CDROM - See Sysadmin
          path = /cdrom
          guest ok = Yes

The default os level in 2.0.4b is 0 and is 20 in 2.0.6.
