Hi Rama,
Assuming that your 3.0.28 is the Solaris-provided Samba, install the various
Samba patches per the Oracle site. This error is well known and is resolved in
Samba 3.5 and onward in the 3. series. All that was easy for me to say. I can
also appreciate that you are now "under the gun" to restore user
access to their Samba-mediated files. Unfortunately, implementation of Sun
patches is not that straightforward.
Depending on the "U" version of Solaris 5.10, you may have a great
deal of pre-patching to do in preparation for the Samba upgrade/patch. To avoid
the hassle of a major patch project if your Solaris is at a very low
"U" level, you may want to run Live Upgrade (which has its own patch
requirements) to get to a relatively high "U" release level (i.e., U8,
U9 or U10). Oracle has lots of documentation on running Live Upgrade, but we
found that that a key preparation was purchasing/obtaining a bunch of used disks
that have the same SUN part numbers as the root devices and can thus serve as
target devices for the LU upgrade. A decent guideline is patch Samba if above
U5; at or below U5 use LU to upgrade. But be consistent; if most of your systems
are U8 with one or two at U5, then LU the two laggards to get to U8. You'll
also need Sun media for the Solaris version you want to update to if going the
LU route. If you don't want to go the LU path and you're not at too low
a "U" release, you can probably get to 3.5 by patching and heeding the
patch notes requests for pre-requisites and gotchas (always at the bottom of the
document). This is a somewhat less complex problem if you have only a single Sun
Samba server, but the strategy of making and preserving bootable root devices
still applies. Overall, it's a long slog, but doable.
Hope the above was useful.

Subject: [Samba] R2 2008 Windows Domain Contoller VS Samba
Hi,
We are using samba version 3.0.28 on Sun solaris 5.10 integrated with Windows
2003 Domain Controller.
It has been running for couple of years without any issues.
Recently the 2003 domain controllers are upgraded to 2008 R2 domain Controllers
and the samba server that we currently have is not authenticating
With the new domain controllers. Could you please let me know which version of
Samba works for the 2008 R2 domain controller on Sun solaris 5.10.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you,
Rama.
