samba - Aug 2002 - Samba 2.2.3a on HP-UX 10.20

Hi,

when I am connecting to samba, openingor saving a MS Word document, nearly
every time there is a core-file.
In the log-file there I found following message:
[2002/08/12 15:13:44, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(111)
  Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,-24) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0)
[2002/08/12 15:13:44, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1064)
  PANIC: failed to set gid

What does it mean?

The smb.conf:
############################################################################
####
[global]
  workgroup = CZPRI
  netbios name = D210
  # log level = 3
  log file = /opt/samba/var/log.%m

  max log size = 1000
  name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast

what is the unix directory of the file you want to open or save ?

check the directory permission :

be root on the server
su - username (the user you use when opening the word document on the station)
go to the directory where the document is using  cd pathname
try to create and read a file there  ( touch toto ; rm toto)

you should be able to do this without errors.

The problem is that your 'guest account', which is 'nobody' by
default
has a negitive uid/gid.  Samba doesn't like that.  The usual solution is
to create a new account like 'smbnull' (disabled etc), and set it as the
'guest account' in your smb.conf.
