samba - Dec 2000 - ntbackup unable to read security information on 2.0.7-4

Hi,

I am running Samba 2.0.7-4 on RedHat 6.2 at a client site. Samba is acting 
as the Primary Domain Controller (PDC). Prior to changing to domain 
control, the server was doing user level authentication and the users were 
doing backups using plain vanilla ntbackup from an NT 4 Workstation without 
any problems. After the switch to domain control, ntbackup is skipping over 
every file, including ones that are owned by the user attempting the 
backup. The error message in the NT log is:

"Please see the owner or administrator to get permission. Unable to read 
security information."

The user doing the backup either owns the files and directories being 
backed up or is a member of a group that owns them.

Any suggestions?

	I'm wondering what security information NT is 
	interested in.  Let's start by turning the logging
	up to 10 or so, and email me a log snippet from
	the time period when the backup is running.

	I'm hoping we'll find it's asking for something
	that Samba doesn't recognize, so we can report
	that to the team in time for 2.2. Look especially
	for any log messages about unrecognized or
	unimplemented requests...

	If that doesn't expose it, we'll capture the
	packets with snoop or etherial and approach
	it that way.
