I am totally at a loss.
I use domain authentication off an NT Server 4.0 computer with service pack
5. I use Samba 2.0.6 running Mandrake 7.0 on my fileserver. I've tried
both the "stock" version of samba that came with Mandrake and also a
fresh
build from the tarball off samba.org's mirror site. Here is the problem:
I have a series of services established, all of which work. I added an
additional service called [Integrator] and suddenly I get an error message
in Windows (NT 4.0 and 95) that says an RPC call failed. I cannot access
any Samba services on the fileserver except through smbclient. If I comment
out the service and restart smbd/nmbd, everything is okay again. I put it
back and restart, I get the error message.
Here's the kicker: Changing only the service name to [Int] and restarting,
the share works great. I've tried several other names, including
[abcdefgh], [abcdefg], [12345678], [Integration], [Intgrtr], and
[integrator] (all lowercase) and none of them worked. I get no log entries
when I get the failed RPC calls.
[Integrator] is the last service listed in smb.conf. See below. It points
to /home2/integrator. permissions for /home2 and /home2/integrator are as
follows:
drwx--x--x 13 root root 4096 Feb 28 10:31 /home2/
drwxrwsr-x 4 root integrat 4096 Oct 29 12:34 /home2/integrator/
The group only shows up as integrat, but it is really integrator in
/etc/group:
integrator:x:604:kpieckiel,ktaylor,nreed
Is there ANY clue as to why I can't name this service Integrator, or some of
the other service names I've tried?
