I'm running a "testing" system. I previously had a working Samba 3.0.7. The only differences between my /etc/samba/smb.conf and the version in /usr/share/samba/smb.conf are the name of the workgroup, encrypt passwords = true, and I selected the lines for lprng-based printing.
A few days ago, I did an apt-get dist-upgrade; I'm now running samba 3.0.8-2. I can no longer connect from either Win98 SE or from Win XP systems. I can't even browse my server. I get the message \\myserver is not accessible >From another Linux system, I can connect with smbclient, but I can't browse with LinNeighborhood. Looking in /var/log/samba at the log files, it looks as if nmbd is seeing the browser queries, but discarding them. Has anyone run into anything like this? In particular, I see things like find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for PHYSICS on subnet xxx.xxx.xxx.2 1: found. [2004/12/03 10:41:09, 5] libsmb/nmblib.c:read_packet(757) Received a packet of len 201 from (xxx.xxx.xxx.64) port 138 [2004/12/03 10:41:09, 9] nmbd/nmbd_namelistdb.c:find_name_on_subnet(129) find_name_on_subnet: on subnet xxx.xxx.xxx.21 - name PHYSICS<1d> NOT FOUND [2004/12/03 10:41:09, 5] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:process_dgram(1194) process_dgram: ignoring dgram packet sent to name PHYSICS<1d> from xxx.xxx.xxx.64 My Samba server is xxx.xxx.xxx.21. It is first saying it is able to find PHYSICS, but later can't find PHYSICS<1d>. What's that <1d>? Is anyone else having similar problems? It worked prior to this upgrade, and I haven't changed anything else. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Physics Lafayette College, Easton PA 18042 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
