samba - Apr 2002 - Samba 2.2.3a, ClearCase Views and Win 2K

I am trying to use Samba 2.2.3a on a Solaris 8 system for dynamic view
storage from W2K machines. I have hit a wall though in that the view storage
area on the Samba server refuses to have the right permission even if I open
it all the way to 777, set my UNIX group to have administrative privileges
or even if I log in as an administrative user in the domain.

 

Have a look at the output below. "CASCM1" is the name of my Samba
server and
"rail-chq" is the name of the PDC for the RAILINC domain. The CASCM1
machine
which is the Samba server and belongs to the RAILINC domain, does not seem
to be passing the information to the PDC for password and user
authentication. Can anyone help me out here?

 

C:\>creds -u sdjls19 cascm1

Windows NT user info (on "cascm1"):

    Domain: CASCM1

    SID:    S-1-5-21-3970177079-3037793699-731120738-124086

    Type:   User

    ID:     0xffffffff

 

ClearCase user info:

    Name: sdjls19

    UID:  0x100b50

    GID:  0x100b97

    Home: C:\

 

*** Warning: ClearCase and Windows NT user lookups yielded different
results.

 

C:\>creds -u sdjls19

Windows NT user info (on local system):

    Domain: RAILINC

    SID:    S-1-5-21-1643391981-149702606-1648912389-2896

    Type:   User

    ID:     0x100b50

 

ClearCase user info:

    Name: sdjls19

    UID:  0x100b50

    GID:  0x100b97

    Home: C:\

 

C:\>creds -u sdjls19 rail-chq

Windows NT user info (on "rail-chq"):

    Domain: RAILINC

    SID:    S-1-5-21-1643391981-149702606-1648912389-2896

    Type:   User

    ID:     0x100b50

 

ClearCase user info:

    Name: sdjls19

    UID:  0x100b50

    GID:  0x100b97

    Home: C:\

 

 

So, my W2K machine and the PDC can get the correct SID and UID information.
However, the Samba machine, "cascm1" cannot. It reports the SID of the
machine "cascm1" that was created when I added the "cascm1"
machine to the
Windows Domain. In other words, the SID noted here is the SID in the
"MACHINE.SID" file on the "cascm1" Samba machine.

 

This seems to not be the correct behaviour for Samba in the mode that I have
it in, yet, I can set, get and use UNIX user ids for the Windows IDs that I
have without a problem on the same share but not using the ClearCase
commands. If I try to use any ClearCase command that creates view or VOB
directory structures, the root directory of the VOB or view is created, the
Samba machine just craps out when trying to create the additional files or
structures underneath it. What gives?!?!

Just as a hunch, can you try to get winbind up and running on 
the Solaris server?  This might resolve your problems.
Also try setting "nt acl support = no" on the share in question.
Maybe try the latter suggestion first since it is an easy change.
