Hi Sandeep,
what it's telling you is it is trying to attach as the guest account
(which by default is the unix user 'nobody') and failing. This is
because
the uid for 'nobody' is -1 (65535) and samba does not handle negative
uid/gid's,
and panics.
Add the line in your smb.conf file:
guest account = somevaliduser
where somevaliduser is a guest user with little prividleges on the system.
Hope this helps,
Don

Hi all
Pl give me solution for this
I am running samba2.2.1.a (latest from samba.org) on a DG/UX
machine
and my smb.conf file is as shown below
[global]
netbios name = shark
workgroup = SIMPLE
encrypt passwords = yes
[test]
path = /export/samba/test
read only = no
guest ok = yes
But when i am running smbclient -U% -L localhost
it is giving the following out put ......
added interface ip=192.168.1.33 bcast=192.168.1.63
nmask=255.255.255.192
Domain=[SIMPLE] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.1a]
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by
peer.
tree connect failed: code 0
And in the log.smbd
it is giving the following o/p:
[ 2001/09/15 03:27:26, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(231)
Unable to initgroups. Error was Invalid argument
[2001/09/15 03:27:26, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(234)
This is probably a problem with the account nobody
[2001/09/15 03:27:26, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(231)
Unable to initgroups. Error was Invalid argument
[2001/09/15 03:27:26, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(234)
This is probably a problem with the account nobody
[2001/09/15 03:27:26, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(97)
Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,65534) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0)
[2001/09/15 03:27:26, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1101)
PANIC: failed to set gid
What would be the problem ?
Pl give me the reply
Thanks in Advance
