Replying to myself, but... The server in question is an Alpha. Any attempt to connect to its workgroup (for which it is the master browser) causes the following to appear in /var/log/smb: [2001/04/18 10:48:55, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(72) Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,65534) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0) [2001/04/18 10:48:55, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(2381) PANIC: failed to set gid Based on this, I am inclined to suspect a bug in the Alpha debs for the latest samba security patch; they appear to have been compiled with one or more incorrect options. Still digging into it, but solutions remain most welcome, of course. -- That's not gibberish...
