 I think I remember jeremy fixing something like post 2.2.3a.  Please
 test the SAMBA_2_2 cvs tree and see if you still experience the
 problem.

 For some reason I thought we had fixed this before

Okay, I checked out SAMBA_2_2 just now, but I'm getting an error when I
compile it.  I'm using:

./configure --prefix=/private/samba --without-winbind --with-syslog

and the make goes for a while, then gives me:

...
Compiling tdb/tdbbackup.c
Linking bin/tdbbackup
Compiling utils/make_printerdef.c
Linking bin/make_printerdef
Compiling utils/smbpasswd.c
utils/smbpasswd.c: In function `join_domain_byuser':
utils/smbpasswd.c:354: invalid operands to binary !=
make: *** [utils/smbpasswd.o] Error 1

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy

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.

Okay, I managed to get SAMBA_2_2 to compile and I have verified that it
correctly re-registers with WINS.  I will wait eagerly for 2.2.4 to be
released!

Thanks,
Andy
