smbd - could'nt set effective gid to 100 msg

[Ron Alexander]

Do you have 'encrypted passwords=yes' in your smb.conf file?

There are several things that will raise that error.

Did you load pre-compiled binaries or did you build samba yourself?

If you built it yourself, what is the platform?

Basically, if the parent process is running from init it should be root and
able to set any gid. There are some platforms that need special compile time
defs however.

I just looked at the source code and can't find the error. What version are
you running?

How do you start the smb daemon?

I was hoping that someone could take a look at this error and point me in
the right direction.  Is there a better list / source for this?  I couldn't
find anything more appropriate and functional on samba.org.

Thanks!
