Package: samba Version: 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2 Tags: upstream, fixed-upstream Samba 4.1.17 appears to have a bug causing all authentication attempts to fail (internal error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER) if the NetBIOS name of the server is over 15 characters long. This includes the inferred name if "netbios name" is not set in the config file and the machine's hostname is over 15 characters long -- therefore the config may not even be "incorrect" but authentication still break.
This was reported upstream previously <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11008> and is fixed in a newer Samba. The fix may need to be backported. A workaround is to set "netbios name" explicitly in smb.conf to a string of 15 or fewer characters. After restarting Samba, authentication should work as before. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crazycomputers If you correspond with me on a regular basis, please read this document: http://www.chrishowie.com/email-preferences/ PGP fingerprint: 2B7A B280 8B12 21CC 260A DF65 6FCE 505A CF83 38F5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER This document should be read only by those persons to whom it is addressed.
