I have a series of hosts (Solaris 8,9 & 10) that are successfully providing samba shares. They are all using Samba 3.0.2a, and authentication is via a Windows 2000 password server.
Everything breaks when the password server is patched beyond the first Windows Service pack.
Here are the contents of smb.conf
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = WINTEL
security = DOMAIN
password server = windowspdc.domain.com
log level = 3
syslog = 4
log file = /var/log/samba.%m
name resolve order = host bcast
hostname lookups = Yes
ldap ssl = start tls
# use uids from 10000 to 20000 for domain users
idmap uid = 10000-20000
# use gids from 10000 to 20000 for domain groups
idmap gid = 10000-20000
# Get specific share information from external files:
include = /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.%h
We need to be able to continue to provide samba shares (for oracle logs, etc.), even after the domain controllers are patched. We can't be the only shop that is having this type of issue...
Any ideas?
