Running Samba 2.0.6 on Alpha VMS

It was probably a mistake, but please note:

Also please do not *EVER* quote the entire digest.  It is taking me 
forever to determine what if any is new content.

Edit out as much of the previous posts as you can but still maintain the 
context.


Also, please turn off the VCF card feature of your mailers, unless you 
are sending mail to a recipiant that requires it.  For every one else it 
is just useless junk appended to the message.

And it shows up in a variety of unreadable formats by many mail gateways.

Thankyou.

Samba 2.0.6 for OpenVMS is feature and bug compatable with the UNIX 
2.0.6 release.

It is a complex product, and many of the code paths have not been tested.

This includes having it join a domain, or using pass-through authentication.

At the time the SAMBA FAQ was written, SAMBA 2.0.6 was just released, or 
  just about to be released, and no one had ever upgraded from SAMBA 2.0.3.

I had never run 2.0.3, so I had no idea about the SID problem, except a 
guess from the error message.

However, this question did come up less than about a month ago, and the 
answer should be in the archives of either October or November of 2001.
