Re: [opensuse] v11.0 Samba Woes
Hi Jerry and all, before downgrading to 10.3 I'd suggest to try with an older version of Samba instead... It's easier to recompile than to reinstall (theory says) :-) Cheers, Martin ----- Original Message ---- From: Jerry Houston <jerry@effjayare.net> To: SUSE Linux <opensuse@opensuse.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 2, 2008 4:57:21 AM Subject: [opensuse] v11.0 Samba Woes When my server was running v10.3, it was the (Samba) PDC for our home domain. Life was good. Even the Linux machines were happy as members of that domain. My domain user account was golden everywhere. Since I installed v11.0 on that server, it will share files using Samba, but doesn't work as the PDC. Every time I run the YaST configuration for the Samba Server, everything looks good, and it always asks me again for a root password. (Can't it remember?) I can't view smb shares on the Linux machines, although they're present on the Windows machines. And I can't use SWAT to configure it, because I can't connect Firefox to localhost:901. The error message says the site appears to be valid, but can't connect. When I try to join another machine to the domain, I'm told that the authorizing user can't be found. (I'm trying to use "root" with the password I keep assigning for "root.") Does anyone know if I can do an "upgrade" to v10.3 on this server, or would I have to do a complete reinstallation? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

http://en.openSUSE.org/Samba provides pointers to two software repositories. STABLE = last released Samba version (3.0.30) TESTING = upcoming code (3.2.0) 3.2.0 is expected to be released today. Then STABLE will have 3.2 too. openSUSE 11.0 has Samba 3.2.0rc1 and will get an update to the 3.2.0 release in some days. The openSUSE Samba wiki article also has a pointer to a how to report Smaba bugs. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
