[gentoo-user] New samba-3.0.25c broken?

[gentoo-user] New samba-3.0.25c broken?

[Holger Hoffstaette]

Hi. I just tried to update to the new "stable" samba 3.025c and noticed two
problems:

- the init script does not work (known bug #191647)

- after fixing the init script, the Windows box (XP SP2) can no longer
connect to shared directories despite the new server being visible and
browseable. Strangely enough, connecting to the server via smbclient (on
the server itself) works fine. Restarting the Windows box does not help
and should not be necessary either.

After reverting back to 3.0.24-r3 the directories immediately become
accessible again to the Windows box. Does anybody else see this problem?
log.smbd just says that the connection in question was closed so I suspect
segfaults but have not yet investigated further.

Holger

Same problem here with samba 3.0.27a


In addition, the mount.cifs binary is missing. So i cannot mount via
CIFS anymore. Samba ebuild is VERY broken :-(

The ebuild is not broken, you just didn't read what it told you

"The mount/umount.cifs helper applications are not included anymore.
Please install net-fs/mount-cifs instead."

I am Yoda of Borg. Futile, resistance is. Assimilate you, we will.

Yes, sorry for the noise.

Yet, mount-cifs is not stable yet :-(


Anyway: the other problem still remains. For some reason, i cannot
access my samba shares :-(

Samba 3.0.24 works like charm. Just switched back to it.

Yeah, but i've got no time right now, to analyse the problems with 3.0.27a.

I've run it in debug mode and so on - but i found nothing suspicious.
Actually two of my shares work - and another one (the important one)
does not.
Very strange!
