Samba 2.2.8 - Snap Server Support

[Irving Carrion]

Thanks for your response!  

The patch that I applied was applied to the Samba Server not the Snap.
It was a patch given to me by someone on this list (I'll have to look
for his name to give him proper credit).  It was written for Samba
Version 2.2.3 but it is working for me in version 2.2.6.  We have 2 snap
servers that don't work correctly (although worked fine with w2k server
and Samba 3.0).  They are:

Snap Server 2000 20gig mirror
&
Dell Power Vault 705N (I understand they resell snap) 80 gig mirror

Without the patch, both tend to not read users/groups with Samba 2.2.x
PDC's.

I don't know what operating systems the snaps have.  

Also, after speaking to Quantum support, they don't support anything
other than W2k PDC's.  The tech I spoke with didn't even know what Samba
was.

The patch is working great, I just wanted to make sure of SNAP
compatibility with 2.2.8 before upgrading.  If not, I may just have to
compile from source again.

Thanks!  

P.S. I can provide you with the patch if you need it.

Irving,

Applying patches to your Snap Server is probably not a good idea, and
usually impossible since the box doesn't have a compiler or the smbd
source
we use. If you're putting in a patched binary, that also may have
unintended
effects. I just don't want you to get your box in an unsupported state
(since we do have free tech support for our customers).

Please let me know the: 
1) SnapServer model you have 
2) The OS it's running
3) Where the patch came from 
4) How you applied it

Maybe you can also explain to me the problems that you were having. Is
it
using the Snap against a Samba PDC? If so, is the Samba PDC the place
where
you applied the patch? 

Also, the SnapServer is either BSD or Linux based, depending on the
model.

Currently the snap has a hard time reading Samba's domain users / groups
correctly.  The patch (I did not write the code) simply fixes this
problem.  It works fine on W2k servers, but I think it runs on a windows
appliance operating system.  Not sure though.

I see...

But does samba not work with these already?
What does your code do ?
