We're having an interesting problems with a Windows 2000 machine trying to connect to Samba 2.0.7 on Solaris 7. We see the following in log.smb [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service ccaserl [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(550) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) connect to service ccaserls as user zdasic (uid=7189, gid=4323) (pid 15679) [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service ccaserl [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service ccaserl [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service ccaserl [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service ccaserl [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service ccaserl [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service ccaserl [2000/10/31 15:57:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) and the same for /vobs zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service vob [2000/10/31 15:19:33, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service vob [2000/10/31 15:19:33, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service vob [2000/10/31 15:19:33, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(214) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) couldn't find service vob [2000/10/31 15:19:33, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(550) zdasic-1 (47.147.70.163) connect to service vobs as user zdasic (uid=7189, gid=4323) (pid 156 79) For some reason, it is leaving off the final character in the service name.
