Initial issues with 2.0.7 pre1 on Solaris 8

[David Collier-Brown]

  I got X problems when I tried to run 2.0.7 pre1 on my Solaris 8
system at work.  This is a test using smbclient to connect to
//elsbeth/davecb, with log level = 10

1) Two lock errors

1) a setgid panic:

  [The login request packet contained the correct password]

[2000/03/09 11:56:27, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_gid(72)
  Failed to set gid privileges to (-1,10) now set to (0,0) uid=(0,0)
[2000/03/09 11:56:27, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(2367)
  PANIC: failed to set gid

My smb.conf contains:

# Global parameters
        workgroup = EXAMPLE
        netbios name = SERVER
        interfaces = 129.155.8.39/255.255.255.0 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0
        wins support = Yes
        log level = 10
[homes]
        browseable = No

The assert_gid function in util_sec.c says:

static void assert_gid(gid_t rgid, gid_t egid)
{
        if ((egid != (gid_t)-1 && getegid() != egid) ||
            (rgid != (gid_t)-1 && getgid() != rgid)) {
                DEBUG(0,("Failed to set gid privileges to (%d,%d) n!
                         (int)rgid, (int)egid,
                         (int)getgid(), (int)getegid(),
                         (int)getuid(), (int)geteuid()));
	
So I assume samba was trying to set 
	rgid = -1
	egid = 10
while running as root, being called from util_sec.c set_effective_gid
line 184:

void set_effective_gid(gid_t gid)
{
	...

        assert_gid(-1, gid);
}

This looks sorta wrong, but I don't know why this is being done,
so I can't easily diagnose it (;-))  I assume it failed to set 
the effective gid...
