The latest upgrade of from samba 3.0.9 to samba 3.0.10 has caused
problems on my samba server.
On the Windows computers you can no longer see the WINS server ( the
RedHat server) in the Network Neighborhood, say server1. The
printers that we have added through the network neighborhood no
longer work.
One has to search for the full name of the server
( server1.xxx.xxx.edu) with the "Search" program on Windows. The
server appears and the user will find that he is automatically logged
into the server and all the printers are available. If one adds new
printers from this connection, the printers work. The next time that
the user logs in the printers that are queues on server1.xxx.xxx.edu
work; the printers on server1 do not.
I can't have my users trading back and forth. Is there a patch for
the latest upgrade?
Or how can I downgrade back to 3.0.10.
