Hi,

I am starting to test Jean-Yves's VMS port of Samba 2.2.7a and having some
trouble.

I compiled (Compaq C V6.5-001-48BCD) and linked (Linker A12-03) from
source and all went well. I had to modify the service definition. It is

	Service "SMBD":
	TCP socket (AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM), Port 139
	Socket Options = SO_KEEPALIVE
	INIT() = TCP_Init
	LISTEN() = TCP_Listen
	CONNECTED() = TCP_Connected
	SERVICE() = Run_Program
	Program = "SAMBA_ROOT:[BIN]SMBD_STARTUP.COM"

When I test with

	smbclient -d 4 "-L" loriot

I get a lot of output. Here is what seems to be the interesting part.


added interface ip=131.136.32.171 bcast=131.136.32.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Client started (version 2.2.7a).
resolve_lmhosts: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name loriot<0x20>
startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /samba_root/lib/lmhosts. Error was
no such file or directory
resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name loriot<0x20>
Connecting to 131.136.32.171 at port 139
Invalid packet length! (83284 bytes).
session request to LORIOT failed (Read error: invalid argument
)


This is repeated twice.

I get the same result from the NetBSD 1.6 system. Here is the relevant
portion of the output.

added interface ip=131.136.35.2 bcast=131.136.35.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Client started (version 2.2.3a).
resolve_hosts: Attempting host lookup for name loriot<0x20>
Connecting to 131.136.32.171 at port 139
Invalid packet length! (83284 bytes).
session request to LORIOT failed (SUCCESS - 0)


This looks like "MultiNet is different from TCP/IP Service for VMS".

Can anyone help?

Thanks /  Merci.
