Windows 95 Oddities

Hi People,

I am seeing some rather odd behaviour on our network using samba 2.0.4b as a PDC
and Windows 95 clients doing domain logins (yeah right ... I know).

Anyway, after doing a sucessful authentication the client then runs a kix32
script which tries to find who the logon server is. From what I can see the
script is doing a win32 call to find this information.

This call results in a named pipe which one can see from the log. What the
server returns is incorrect (it is actually another samba server across the wan
but still on our network).

I am having difficulty decyphering the log file to work out what is actually
going on.

If anyone could give me some pointers to sort this out it would help.

Here is a debug level 10 of the relevant bits:
