Hi Virginia,
If you made samba yourself, then the guest account by default will be
'nobody',
in the group 'nogroup'.
On HP-UX, this user and group has a negative UID/GID, which will cause samba
to core.
To fix this,
create a user and group like the following:
/etc/passwd:
smbnull:*:119:101:DO NOT USE OR DELETE - needed by
Samba:/home/smbnull:/sbin/sh
/etc/group
smbnull::101:
And add the line
guest account = smbnull
to your global section of the smb.conf file.
Hope this helps,
Don

Subject: Failed to set GID PANIC
smb.log has several entries like this:
lib/util_sec.c assert_gid(72)
failed to set gid priveleges to (-1,-2)
now set to (0,0) uid (0,0)
lilb/util.c: smb_panic (113()
PANIC failed to set gid
I made samba on an HP 785-9000 running hpux 10.2
Running smbd and nmbd on the HP I can access shared
home directory from a W2K Professional
But each time I access the HP home directory from the W2K system
I get a core dump file in the HP home directory.
smb.log says
Core dump does not seem to affect access to the file .
I can read/write to the HP file from W2K.
Does anyone know Why is this dumping core?
thanks
giny
