samba - Jan 2017 - queries for samba 4.5.0 testing on hpux IA64

Hi,

We are testing samba 4.5.0 on hpux ia64. We are seeing below behavior.
Please clarify the same

1.

   - Configure samba as nt4 server.
   - Mount any share folder from windows client with any user.
   Ex. user is *abc*
   - open any file from mount directory
   - Unmount share directory from Windows without closing the file.
   - Try to mount folder from same windows client with any other user.
   Ex. user is *xyz*
   - Mount will fail

Query:-  Mount fail is expected but is it expected that we are able to
unmount the directory even if any file from mounted directory is open ?

2.


   - Configure samba as nt4 server.
   - Mount any share folder from windows client with any user.
   - Create txt file
   - Open and modify the txt file with notepad or wordpad
   - Not able to save with the error
   *"parameter not correct" on windows *
   - Saving txt file with notepad++ is working fine
   - Creating and saving other extensions like ms word, excel are also
   working fine.

Query:- Is there any known issue with samba 4.5.0 with saving file with
notepad and wordpad

3.

   - Configure samba 4.5.0 as nt4 server on hpux box
   - Configure samba 4.5.0 as nt4 member server to nt4 server configured on
   first hpux machine
   - Share folder from nt4 member server
   - Try to access from nt4 server
   - Not able to access share without providing credentials.

Query:- Should we able to access share without providing credentials?

4.

   - Configure samba 4.5.0 as nt4 server on hpux box
   - Configure samba 4.5.0 as nt4 member server to nt4 server configured on
   first hpux machine.
   - Check and access domain user with wbinfo.
   - After a considerable time access them again.We are not able to do so
   - On running net rpc join command again below error comes
   Failed to join domain: failed to find DC for domain DOMAINNAME- No
   domain controllers located
   - Restart daemon on nt4 server
   - net rpc join and wbinfo works fine

Query :- Is it expected behavior ?

5. Are there any known limitation with samba 4.5.0 while configuring it as
ADS member to Windows server 2016  ?

As hpux is pretty much orphaned upstream, I would suggest someone from
https://www.samba.org/samba/support/ to get the required attention.
