Description anctop 2011-09-14 00:35:50 UTC 
On Win7 clients, an error occurs when importing registry entries from .reg files kept in a read-only SMB share.


Server OS : LFS running kernel-2.6.39.2 with binutils-2.21, gcc-4.4.5, 
glibc-2.13

Samba version 3.5.11

 1. unpacked the distribution file samba-3.5.11.tar.gz
 2. cd samba-3.5.11/source3
 3. sh ./configure --prefix=/10/samba-3.5.11 --datarootdir=/10/samba-3.5.11 \
       --enable-shared --with-cifsmount --with-cifsumount --with-quotas \
       --with-sys-quotas
 4. make
 5. make install
 6. ln -s samba-3.5.11 /10/samba
 7. added /10/samba/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig
 8. created /10/samba/lib/smb.conf (see attachment below)
 9. /10/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
    /10/samba/sbin/smbd -D
10. created users :
    useradd user0
    /10/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a root
    /10/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a -n nobody
    /10/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a user0
11. created directory /Software and uploaded file SMB_test.reg (see attachment
    below)
12. from a Win7 computer :
    > net use X: \\x009\Software /user:WORKGROUP\user0
    > regedit X:\SMB_test.reg
    this produced the error (see attachment below), but the file SMB_test.reg
    can be opened by a text editor
13. the above step was repeated on a WinXP computer without error (see 
    attachment below)

Can you attach a debug level 10 log for the Win7 session to the Samba server including the error please ? The current log you posted doesn't have enough information to allow me to determine what is wrong.

Jeremy.

The attachment 6887 [details] above was already a level 10 log.

Now I attach a level 100 log.

I've just found some relevant pages on Microsoft support :

It appears that this "bug" belongs properly to Win7, not Samba.

I think that this case could be closed. I'm sorry for all the troubles caused.
