Hi - I'm using samba to connect some windows boxen to a distributed set of unix machines. I'm trying to unify some of the administrative interfaces via mmc, specifically the group policy stuff. When I try to use the Group Policy snap-in to connect to my samba 2.2.1 servers, I see the windows box do a Tree Connect Andx to ADMIN$\System32\GroupPolicy, and then the samba box responds with 0x0004, permission denied. Then the windows box goes and tries to create ADMIN$\System32, which also fails. I have sniffer dumps of the exchange here (libpcap format, use Ethereal to open):
http://lightconsulting.com/~thalakan/gpdump.cap Poking around in the samba source code, it looks like ADMIN$ is aliased to IPC$, but the System32 named pipe isn't created anywhere. Does anyone have any thoughts on implementing this and whatever associated protocol is necessary to modify server-side group policies over it? -- - Jason Currently at: Home (Fremont, CA) (Partly Cloudy) Everything journalists write is true, except when they write about something you know. -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav, June 1999, FreeBSD-Stable Mailing List -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
