Sharing disks form Win* with Samba as PDC

[Jacek Stolarczyk]

Hi,

I have Samba-2.0.5a setup as PDC with Win98 and WinNT Workstation
clients. Access to shares on the server work perfectly but I have two
problems:
1) occurs on Win98 (for example named AAAA):
When I try to share a disk from Win98 station (user-oriented, not share
oriented) I get a message: "list of users not available at the moment.
Please try again later" (reverse translation from Polish). In log.aaaa I
find:
[1999/12/28 18:50:41, 1] smbd/ipc.c:api_fd_reply(3269)
  api_fd_reply: INVALID PIPE HANDLE: 0
[1999/12/28 18:50:41, 1] smbd/ipc.c:api_fd_reply(3269)
  api_fd_reply: INVALID PIPE HANDLE: 0
[1999/12/28 18:50:41, 1] smbd/ipc.c:api_fd_reply(3269)
  api_fd_reply: INVALID PIPE HANDLE: 0

It seems that this option is not yet supported in 2.0.5a

2) occurs on WinNT Workstation 4.0 (SP4)
I have only two accounts there: Administrator and Guest. All other
accounts (and profiles) are loaded from the Samba server. But I cannot
perfrom any administrative actions (say change printer settings) when
logged as one of the Samba servers users and cannot even view the
properties ofthe printer (connected to the server Samba server) when
logged as Administrator (unrecognized user, which is reasonable). Is there
any workaround? Use pre 2.1 code?

Best wishes
