Okay, I've got a decently sized network (well, very large, multiple locations, and a small number of users... 10-15, but multiple servers).
I've got Win2k, XP Home, XP Pro accessing these servers. The servers are running a version of Samba3.0b1 I pulled from CVS a few days before the offical announcement. I'm seeing some really odd behaviour with it all. I honeslty think i'm looking at client side issues, but I need to explore all options. With Win2k, I have a user having issues with lock files not being reset, samba reports that the client stopped responding after it initiated the removal of the lock. With XP Home/Pro I'm seeing some weird Authentication issues. Mainly on XP Home, it suddenly decides that it needs to authenticate with the username "Administrator" instead of the user's actual user name. What worries me most is that these users are claiming to be connecting, and there is NOTHING in the logs unless I turn on full debugging output. I'm also seeing some weird behaviour with XP if the user's password is changed in LDAP, but i'm sure that is a client side issue with XP caching passwords. Also, on XP, I'm getting users reporting "access denied" attempting to write new files, even though the POSIX ACLs on the file system say they always should be able to write. With Win2k, The ACL interaction is perfect, I've had 0 problems with the ACLs and Win2k. I've also noticed some browse list issues with nautilus (whatever that file/web browser for gnome is that supports getting a browse list by doing smb://) I don't see all of the servers in the list, this may be because they are on different subnets, but they are all operating off the same wins servers.... and I don't even see one of the wins servers in nautilus or in windows *ugh*. nautilus never prompts for a login/password when trying to connect to the servers. Looking at the talking using etherreal shows it only tries to auth and the server disconnects them. This behaviour on the server's part could be part of my issues with my XP users as none of them use the same passwd for thier laptops. With LDAP, for some reason samba keeps 8+ connections at any given time with no users logged in. Any reason why this is? TIA, -LW
