Description David Johnston 2005-06-28 14:15:18 UTC 
In smb.conf, a line like the following causes unexpected behavior:
  hosts allow = 192.168.0, 127.

Changing this to 
  hosts allow = 192.168.0., 127.
works.

Without the trailing period, Samba evidently discards it.  This leads Windows
clients to report that access to the domain was denied.  smbclient reports
NT_ACCESS_ACCESS_DENIED.

However, testparm doesn't flag it as an error.  If an argument to hosts allow is
an incomplete IP address without a trailing period, can testparm be made to flag
it as an error?

Markign as LATER.  Testparm currently makes no evaluation of the parameter
values.  Only the parameter names.
