Hi all I have samba 2.2.7a compiled on a very-home-made linux (2.4.19+many patches, gcc2.95.4,glibc2.2.5). Knowing that I don't have any admin user or groups defined in smb.conf, what could cause smbd to keep root privileges when a normal user connects ? it's starting to get really annoying. I get numerous lines like this one in the logs: [2003/02/10 16:08:19, 5] smbd/uid.c:change_to_root_user(217) change_to_root_user: now uid=(0,0) gid=(0,0) my configure options : ./configure \ --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc/samba \ --localstatedir=/var/samba \ --with-privatedir=/etc/samba/private \ --with-logfilebase=/var/log/samba \ --with-configdir=/etc/samba \ --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba \ --with-piddir=/var/run/samba \ --with-codepagedir=/usr/share/samba/codepages \ --with-smbmount \ --without-pam \ --with-quotas \ --with-acl-support \ --with-winbind \ --with-sendfile-support \ --with-netatalk Thanks a million.
