Description xintong 2009-08-31 04:44:53 UTC
Hi,

  our new Windows 2003 clients can't access our samba server. However, I can list the share directories from the samba server itself. I can access it from other unix clients. Some old Windows clients are able to access it.

  here is my smb.conf file:
# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = PFINTBK
        server string = phs71620
        security = SHARE
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 1000
        local master = No
        guest account = guest (it is created at the Unix server)

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = No
[tmp]
        path = /tmp
        guest ok = Yes



  When I try to use: net use W: \\sambaIP\tmp , it gives me this error message "System error 64 has occurred, the specified network name is no longer available"

 from the samba server, I got this error message:

[2009/08/31 15:49:34, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(642)
  clientIP (clientIP) connect to service tmp initially as user guest(uid=109, gid=105) (pid 907)
[2009/08/31 15:49:34, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(829)
  clientIP (clientIP) closed connection to service tmp

I really can't figure out the root cause. Please help if you can. thanks.

What is the exact Samba version you are using? And, please upload a debug level 10 log of smbd together with a network trace. Information on how to create useful network traces can be found under 

http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Capture_Packets

Thanks,

Volker

Hi, it is # smbclient -L phs71620 -N
Domain=[PFINTBK] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a based HP CIFS Server A.02.02.01]

Have send you the debug level 10 log from the problem clients. Will try to get the log from the working client tomorrow.

the tcpdump got a missing library message, so not able to provide you that. If you really need it, I will try to download the etheral again.

thanks

Ok, 3.0.14 is really, really old. Please upgrade to a newer Samba version like 3.3.7 or 3.4.0.

And, security=share is also REALLY deprecated. Almost all things you want to achieve with it can also be done with security=user. I'm closing this bug as WONTFIX, we will not fix this in 3.0.14.

For discussion about security=share vs security=user please ask on samba@samba.org, I'm also listening there.

Hi,

   From your binary download depot, http://us1.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/hp/, the version for hpux is samba-3.0.23a and there isn't latest release for HPUX. From our HP webpage, our latest is A.02.04(3.0k): https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=B8725AA

  I have enabled the user level security at another server and it is the same.

  Can you please help me on this? If you want, I can install the lastone from our hp website. Thanks.

thanks

As you can see in the release notes of 3.0.36 on

http://us3.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.0.36.html

there will be no bugfixes anymore for 3.0. Regarding the binaries: The binary packages we ship are mostly due to user contributions. Unfortunately nobody from Hewlett Packard is able or willing to supply any more recent Samba packages for HP/UX that we could upload.

If you need further assistance regarding this matter, you might want to contact HP themselves for support, or contact one of the support companies listed under

http://samba.org/samba/support/

Please do not re-open this bug again unless you can reproduce it with 3.3 or 3.4.

Thanks,

Volker
