Hello I have installed Samba 2.2.2 on my HP-UX 10.20 machine. I am able to map the shares from my Windows NT machine. But just after I map a share, the log file gets one entry as follows. ************************************************************** [2000/06/13 11:40:42, 0] lib/util_sec.c:(94) Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,-24) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0) [2000/06/13 11:40:42, 0] lib/util.c:(1055) PANIC: failed to set gid ************************************************************** It is not able to set gid. I am able to create and edit files through windows NT explorer or through command prompt. But whenever I try to open a file through a C program, the program gets the error as "Permission Denied". the file gets created but its size is 0. May I get some solution regarding this. I thought that winbind daemon will help me. So, I wanted to run winbind daemon. In the man page of winbindd, I found that it is a part of Samba suite. It is also told that it gets installed when Samba is installed. But I can not find winbindd anywhere in the directory structure. Previously when I installed Samba 2.0.7, I have executed a file named configure, which compiled many C files and created the required directory structure. But this time when I downloaded Samba 2.2.2's zip.gz file and extracted it, it gave me the whole directory structure with all the files precompiled. I simply copied it at the desired location on my server and then configured the smb.conf file. I could not find winbind daemon anywhere. Can winbindd help me solve my problem of not getting permission to open file ? Please write back.
