samba - Feb 2000 - Win2K and samba 2.0.6

2.0.6 when compiled with crypt support (FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE) is working fine
with encrypted passwords where the FreeBSD host is a domain member and I'm
athenticating against the domain PDC.

I had to update to 3.4-STABLE from 3.4-RELEASE to get speeds up to something
similar to 3.3-RELEASE, and as of the 2/14 version of 3.4-STABLE I am having
the smbpasswd coredump mentioned by two other users on the netnews samba
group; however, smbpasswd was able to attach the server to the domain before
dying, and the crash has no functional effect.

Getting speeds up requires some entries in the smb.conf file and some
corresponding kernel changes provided by tdwyer@io.telstra.com.au:


In smb.conf:

#per tdwyer@io.telstra.com.au
# 3.4-STABLE
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY IPTOS_THROUGHPUT
   read raw = yes
   write raw = yes
   shared mem size =  6291456

In the kernel config file (3.4-STABLE)

options 	"SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)"
options 	SHMMAXPGS=2048

This causes smbd to use about 8MB per process, according to top.

Our site has a RH 6.1 linux box running Samba 2.0.6. It functions quite well
with NT4 and Win9x stations, but has some problems with Win2K. I have turned
off encrypted passwords on the Win2k system (we are on a private, fully
switched ethernet segment). The Win2K system requires me to actually enter
account information when connecting, despite the fact I am logged in as a
valid user on the linux box. The connection does work after entering the
user info though. Even the case is the same. Also, smbclient can't
"see" the
Win2K machine. This is Win2K Professional, release version (not a beta).

Command output:

[root@scintillus log]# /usr/local/bin/smbclient -L guinevere
added interface ip=192.168.1.114 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

Any ideas on this one?
