HP-UX vs Samba 2.2.8a

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Ulairi,
this type of question would better be posted on the samba list,
rather than the samba-technical, which is reserved for developers, etc.
I have 2.2.8a running on hpux 11.11 with no such problems.  The ip addresses
in my logs are all consistent with the client addresses of the pc's
connecting,
and I had no need of a interfaces line in my smb.conf; samba had no trouble 
determining it.  Because of this, I would suggest that the problem may not
be 
with samba, but with the way your networking is set up on your system (not
that
it is *WRONG*, but just different).
In situations where you may have multiple interfaces, possibly with
differnet ip
addresses in the same subnet, having to use bind intefaces only, and
interfaces= is not a bug or problem, but a solution.
As far as the nobody account, the recommended
way to resolve this is to add a user (HP's version of Samba, based on the
2.2.5 product,with security fixes backported into it, uses smbnull) and
group with a positive uid/gid ad set "guest account" parameter in the global
section of your 
smb.conf file.  The reporting (-1,-2) in the error message is normal, and
doesn't indicate that it is trying to set uid,gid to -1,-2; the 2nd number
in the set is what it is trying to set it TO. The important thing is that
your guest account be set to a user with a positive uid and gid.


Hope this helps,
Don
