This makes it very difficult to know how to help you without confirmation from you of the exact package versions that show this bug. > There still is this other box in another workgroup however, where I also > installed those packages I made without the FHS patch to see if it would > solve the problem there.

When you say "master browser", do you mean domain master browser or local master browser? How do you have the machine configured, and how have you verified that it is the master browser? > In my network, there is yet another Debian Sid box, which is still > running Samba 3.0.20b-2.

You should be able to get previous samba package versions from <http://snapshot.debian.net/>. > If the output from ls -l ... output is still wanted, please let me know > from which box(es) you would like to have it. If you have a box that is running unmodified Debian packages and is showing this workgroup problem, yes, I still want the ls -l output along with the version number of the samba package you have installed. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
