[Samba] initialise_groups/initgroups input/output error

[Jason Barker]

Hello everyone,

I did a little searching and didn't come up with much on this.
I just upgraded our Samba server from 2.2.3a to 2.2.8a to get it running on
the latest 2.2.x release.
After doing this, "Unable to initgroups, Error was Input/output error"
messages are showing up in all the smbd log files (except log.smbd)
regularly. We've never had this problem before with 2.2.3a.

Example:
[2003/10/30 07:54:16, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244)
  Unable to initgroups. Error was Input/output error
[2003/10/30 08:06:05, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244)
  Unable to initgroups. Error was Input/output error
[2003/10/30 08:20:19, 0] smbd/sec_ctx.c:initialise_groups(244)
  Unable to initgroups. Error was Input/output error

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason

Well, I am afraid I may not be able to provide much help, but have you tried setting oplocks=no in the share's service definition in smb.conf?

> Hi,
> i not sure whether this is a samba question. but here goes, i sometimes have problems deleting files from the server that has a samba share.it says the files can't be deleted...it seems that the file is being locked...if i have oplocks inserted in the smb.conf file, will it help? is there any way to remove the restriction manually so there's no need to restart the server in order to delete the file? the server is running on suse 6.1

RE: [Samba] samba 2.2.3a loses WINS registration

Title: RE: [Samba] samba 2.2.3a loses WINS registration





Just a quick note about this:
I was having this problem for a month or two, and a few weeks ago, I got in touch with Jeremy through this mailing list and he was able to track down the problem.

He made a change to nmbd_mynames.c, I replaced the one in 2.2.3a with it, and it fixed the problem.


So, if you would rather use 2.2.3a with this fix, rather than use the latest CVS, you can replace the nmb_mynames.c in the 2.2.3a source with the one attached to this message, and recompile. In the Samba source, nmbd_mynames.c is in /source/nmbd.

I suppose the Samba CVS would be OK though, since, from what I've read on the list, the 2.2.4 release is VERY close.

Just fixed it - Herb's IRIX compiler didn't catch it
when he added the error message.
