*somewhat sheepishly* ok, so installing the winbind package allows me to now resolve names against the WINS server...
In the hopes that maybe installing the "samba" package (even though I'm not trying to use this box as a server) would fix the rest of the behavior issues, I did so and that seems to fix the /var/run/samba errors... (I'd still consider it a bug that these errors happen even on a clean install of Edgy) Adding the line "passdb expand explicit = no" keeps testparm from complaining about the deprecated "passdb expand explicit = yes" option that seems to be Samba's default setting... However, it still doesn't use the "workgroup" setting in /etc/samba/smb.conf to auto fill in the "Domain" field when trying to connect to a Windows share, as it does on our old Breezy installs which, although now merely annoying, makes me wonder what other settings are being ignored... -- Samba isn't working correctly https://launchpad.net/bugs/79575 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
