As promised here are the patches. It works for me but I don't actually
need 32bit support so my testing of this isn't worth a whole lot ...
For samba:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/samba-2.2-smbmnt.patch
(diff is vs a recent SAMBA_2_2 checkout, but should be ok vs just
about any samba 2.2.x release).
For smbfs: (ie the kernel sources)
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/smbfs-2.4.18-uid32.patch
(should also be fine with 2.4.17 or 2.4.19-pre-something)
You need to apply the patches and rebuild+reinstall both components.
Samba: cd /foo/samba*/source ; patch -p0 < samba-2.2-smbmnt.patch
Linux: cd /foo/linux ; patch -p1 < smbfs-2.4.18-uid32.patch
If you are using 2.4.18 you should also apply this to be safe:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/00-smbfs-2.4.18-codepage.patch.gz
2.4.17 or 2.4.19-preX are ok without it. It does not conflict with the
above and is totally unrelated. Just a bugfix for something someone else
added far too late in a release cycle ...
Let me know when you have tested this so I can send the patches to the
respective source trees, or if you decide not to test them.
If you have trouble with (applying) the patches we can handle that
off-list.
