similar to: Samba 2.0.5a released - bugfix for 2.0.5.

Hello, I'm having a problem configuring samba (2.0.5a) on a Linux system using NIS+ as the password system. Samba complains that it cannot find the smbpasswd file, which is not surprising as I'm not using one. I tried 'smb password file = passwd.org_dir' that sort of worked, except that it creates a directory called passwd.org_dir from whatever directory I ran the smbd from.

Using Samba v2.0.10 on a RedHat v7.1 box, I see that the Win98 clients on our network are making sporatic requests for user "nobody" (as shown below). Anyone know what's going on here? My network has both Linux and Win98 clients, but only the Win98 clients are showing this behavior. Both the Linux and Win98 clients access the same shared drives, but only the Win98 clients use

I have a problem with 2.0.5 that did not happen in 2.0.4b or previous releases. I am seeing thousands of these messages in log.smb: [1999/07/20 23:44:24, 0] lib/util_str.c:string_sub(1095) ERROR: string overflow by 7 in string_sub(%M, 967) and the smbd process seems to be stuck in a tight loop. It's caused by the variable substitutions in these lines from smb.conf: root preexec = [ %U

Hi all, Set-up: Local NT4-RESOURCE domain which the Samba server is a member off. One NT4-ADMIN domain with users accounts and one W2K domain with some other user accounts.

Hi there, I ran into a weird problem. 2 machines, one with an NE2000 clone (W95) card and the other with an Etherworks203 (linux with Samba).

Hello, I've got samba 2.2.6 running on my internal network.

I am currently using Samba on several unix servers, and have numerous users accessing them from NT workstation machines. I have my samba security set equal to DOMAIN. And I have successfully added the unix servers to the domain and created the domain accounts. The problem I have is not a constant problem, but it is a major inconvenience. Sometimes, when a user attempts to access the samba share,

I've had samba running cleanly on an HP-UX 11.0 system for many months, with "DOMAIN" security and one-to-one account name mapping. A few days ago I started getting password prompts on connection, and messages like this in the log files...

Quick question for the Samba team, Just wondering if there is a reason that a %L substitution changes the WHOLE string after the substitution to lowercase (in standard_sub_basic)? This was causing me a big headache as I was using a %G later in the string, and this was being translated into a %g... Here's the relevant section of code from lib/substitute.c: case 'L' :

Hi, It's been a while since I created my smbpasswd file, and therefore it is no longer in synch with my Unix file. I've added and removed users over time, and now I need a way to update the 'smbpasswd' file without losing the encrypted passwords that are already in place (ie. I don't want to just run 'makesmbpasswd.sh' again). So, I've written the

How can I troubleshoot this. Any help is appreciated. [2002/11/21 15:33:04, 1] smbd/reply.c:(988) Username pcguest is invalid on this system
