Hi, this is Marco Marongiu from CRS4 Research Center in Sardinia, Italy. I compiled Samba, versions 2.0.6 and 2.0.7, on an HP J282 server running HP-UX 10.20. The users authenticate against an NT domain controller and access to their UNIX home directory; every domain user is also registered in NIS, and his home directory is shared accross machines via NFS and automount. Samba server also gives access to three network printers. Samba works for everything but one. When a new connection is made, the parent smbd process silently fails to switch its child to the user's uid/gid. This result in the possibility for every user to delete other users' print jobs. I scanned tons of subjects in the samba mailing list archives, searched deja, read HINTS.txt and compiled 2.0.6 applying the patch "Bug in UID handling for HP-UX", too: same thing. I compiled with gcc and native cc also, but results didn't change. Here is some data you may find useful. uname -a returns: HP-UX here_was_my_name B.10.20 A 9000/780 2013314351 two-user license configure was issued using this command line: ./configure --prefix=/opt/samba-2.0.n --with-automount when compiling with gcc, and CC=/bin/cc ./configure --prefix=/opt/samba-2.0.n --with-automount The "n" in the version number, you guessed that, was 6 when compiling 2.0.6 and 7... ok, that's enough :*) Ah, yes: the smb.conf (names have been changed and IPs numbers substituted by x-es).: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from my_machine (x.x.x.x) # Date: 2000/10/06 12:38:03 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = CNS netbios name = MY_NAME server string = SaMBa server security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = my_pdc smb passwd file = /opt/samba/private/smbpasswd load printers = No printer driver file = /opt/samba/lib/printers.def local master = No wins server = x.x.x.x smbrun = /opt/samba/bin/smbrun lock directory = /opt/samba/var/locks guest account = samba invalid users = root hosts allow = x.x.
