Package: samba Version: 3.0.25a-1 Severity: normal It has been ages since I did anything with samba, so mostly a newbie. I was trying to set things up for user security, however that might be attained, and testing things from a Windows-XP box (XP Home I believe).
I had attempted to write a complete smb.conf from the beginning, instead of making incremental changes to something minimal. And almost everything I tried resulted in this IPC$ problem. I then tried building something in small steps from almost nothing. When I added a "valid users = ..." line, I started getting the IPC$ message again (and logons/browsing failing). Usernames in lowercase, in uppercase, or repetitions of a lowercase and an uppercase name were all tried. They all cause the same problem. In searching for answers, I ran across lots of bug reports where this seems to be a symptom, but hadn't run across solutions. So, there are probably a few different things which create this IPC$ symptom. I can work with the setup I eventually created, so I don't need a resolution to this. I was adding this to the [globals] section, which in afterthought was probably a mistake. If so, perhaps this is something that testparm can look for? I tried sending this once before, and then realised exim4 wasn't properly configured. Hopefully this other copy won't resurface. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages samba depends on: ii debconf 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libacl1 2.2.42-1 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 1:2.4.32-1.1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.5-9+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomer 1.39+1.40-WIP-2007.04.07+dfsg-2 common error description library ii libcupsy 1.2.11-2 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgnutl 1.6.3-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libkrb53 1.6.dfsg.1-4 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-13.4 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam-m 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-r 0.79-4 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.79-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii logrotat 3.7.1-3 Log rotation utility ii lsb-base 3.1-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii procps 1:3.2.7-3 /proc file system utilities ii samba-co 3.0.25a-1 Samba common files used by both th ii update-i 4.27-0.5 inetd.conf updater ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages samba recommends: ii smbldap-tools 0.9.2-3 Scripts to manage Unix and Samba a -- debconf information: samba/tdbsam: false * samba/generate_smbpasswd: true * samba/run_mode: daemons -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
