smb.conf.%U problem for NT (95 ok)

Thu Mar 25 10:32:03 GMT 1999

Hi SMB'ers,

Summary: smb.conf.%U doesn't work on NT clients (Win 95 OK).

Setup:-
  Samba 2.0.3 on Redhat 5.2 + shadow passwds.
  Hostname / netbios name: archives
  smb.conf.%G defines [%G] share
  smb.conf.%U defines [samba] share for %U=sazli

(smb.conf attached below)

A little bit of what happened:-

	* Run: \\archives *

  switch message SMBnegprot (pid 21457)
  Requested protocol [PC NETWORK PROGRAM 1.0]
  Requested protocol [XENIX CORE]
  Requested protocol [MICROSOFT NETWORKS 1.03]
  Requested protocol [LANMAN1.0]
  Requested protocol [Windows for Workgroups 3.1a]
  Requested protocol [LM1.2X002]
  Requested protocol [LANMAN2.1]
  Requested protocol [NT LM 0.12]
  Selected protocol NT LM 0.12
  Transaction 2 of length 189
  switch message SMBsesssetupX (pid 21457)
  Domain=[EOFF]  NativeOS=[Windows NT 1381] NativeLanMan=[]
  sesssetupX:name=[Sazli]

	* Process smb.conf (go through params) - OK *

  pm_process() returned Yes
  adding IPC service
  adding home directory sazli at /export/home0/user/sazli
  sazli is in 2 groups: 14, 200
  uid 1259 registered to name sazli
  Clearing default real name
  User name: sazli      Real name: Syahrul Sazli Shaharir, CFD,6126
  Chained message
  switch message SMBtconX (pid 21457)
  Allowed connection from sazli.mimos.my (192.228.129.44)
  smb_password_check failed. Invalid password given for user 'sazli'
  ACCEPTED: validated uid ok as non-guest
  sazli logged in as admin user (root privileges)
  Connect path is /tmp
  dos_ChDir to /tmp
  dos_ChDir to /usr/local/samba/swat
  sazli (192.228.129.44) connect to service IPC$ as user sazli (uid=1259,gid=14) (pid 21457)
  tconX service=ipc$ user=sazli

2. I see all shares. When I double click on the share [samba], which
is defined in smb.conf.%U:-

	* Re-read params : error in crucial places, e.g. :- *

  doing parameter include = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%G
[1999/03/25 17:26:38, 2] param/loadparm.c:handle_include(1865)
  Can't find include file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.nobody

	* Final result: Not what I wanted (Connecting as guest):- *

  pm_process() returned Yes
  adding IPC service
  nobody is in 1 groups: 60001
  uid 60001 registered to name nobody
  Clearing default real name
  User name: nobody     Real name: Nobody

	* which leads to further errors:- *

  checking for home directory samba gave (NULL)
  find_service() failed to find service samba
  sazli (192.228.129.44) couldn't find service samba
  error packet at line 162 cmd=117 (SMBtconX) eclass=2 ecode=6
  error string = No such file or directory

3. This error comes up on the NT desktop: 

	\\archives\samba
	The network name cannot be found.

4. And when I refresh the shares list, I get all shares except the ones
defined in smb.conf.%G and smb.conf.%U.

What gives? I tried setting "nt smb support = no" & "nt pipe support =
no" but to no avail. 

It works perfectly under Win95.

Thanks for your help..
