samba - Oct 2015 - Samba 3.5.4 canonicalize_connect_path failed for service

Hi, Jeremy,

I know our linux os is too old, but there is some histories that I have few
choices to update.

I can try newer samba version, if that helps. But, do you know how to solve
this question at first? Hope you kindly share some of your experiences.
Thank you.

Roger

I think what Jeremy was politely trying to point out to you was, the 
Samba 3.5 series went EOL two years ago. So, even if your problem could 
be identified, it is very very unlikely to get a fix. As you seem to be 
using RHEL 6 and if you have a maintenance contract with them, I would 
suggest discussing your problem with them, though I have a feeling they 
will suggest exactly what Jeremy suggested, but they may go further and 
suggest you upgrade your OS as well.

Hi, Rowland,

Thanks to you and Jeremy for giving me suggestions.
Since Samba 3.5 went EOL, I'll skip 3.5.4 and try newer version.
Thank you.
