Just tried the latest cvs samba_2_2 (trying to avoid the winbind memory leak thing). It configured, compiled and installed fine, but when it came up there was an issue. When my Windows users (Win98 ad Win2K) went into explorer, they could see no names on the folders in samba shares, just blank folders. I quickly put it back to the older 2.2.2 configuration and everyone is back to normal. Was this something i missed or did wrong, or is it an issue with the latest samba? Thanks, VeKTeReX
did you keep the original winbindd_idmap.tdb etc in samba/var/locks ? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin [mailto:kevin@mpcf.com] Sent: 18 December 2001 18:09 To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: latest samba_2_2 problem Just tried the latest cvs samba_2_2 (trying to avoid the winbind memory leak thing).

i am not sure what happens to it at install - i had a similar problem but I had moved the original samba tree to another location so of course ended up with an empty winbind database. this file is the one which keeps all the mappings between NT users/groups and Samba's user/groups. If you lose it then you might have similar problems to those you describe - ie samba behaves as if it has no ideas who these windows users are. if you can actually see the files in these share then perhaps this is a red herring. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin [mailto:kevin@mpcf.com] Sent: 19 December 2001 15:54 To: Noel Kelly Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: latest samba_2_2 problem I didn't do anything to that file so unless it was written over by the new installation, it was unchanged. Should i have removed it?
