Trying to upgrade from 3.0.14a to 3.0.23c. So far, things seem to be working, but the following entries appear in the smbd error log. The test machine is a domain client (server is still 3.0.14). The sids listed are exactly as they appear in the ldap tables. What makes them invalid? Anyone know. [2006/10/19 11:34:10, 1] passdb/pdb_interface.c:pdb_default_uid_to_rid(1227) Could not peek rid

OK, I have RTFM. All the I could find. I cannot seem to set permissions via WINXP Pro explorer. No matter what I do all I get is access denied - even if I own the file.

I believe I've set up a machine as a BDC for a Samba PDC and I'm trying to test that.
