sso> Problem Description:
sso> We recently upgraded to Samba 2.0.6 on our SGI Irix 6.5.4 and our Compaq Tru64
sso> UNIX 4.0D boxes.
sso> While the smbd server seemed to start up properly, and join the local workgrou
sso> p, attempts to
sso> actually use the volume shares were less than stellar.
sso> On the IRIX box performance was painfully slow, and even with "nt acl support"
sso> and "nt smb support"
sso> enabled we were unable to view or alter permissions on files or directories fr
sso> om an NT Workstation. Also,
sso> for some reason the [homes] share was not working properly, even though we del
sso> eted it and
sso> recreated it, and even tried setting the path to be "/home/%u".
sso> On the Tru64 UNIX servers smbd would generate a core dump when an NTWS user wa
sso> s attempting
sso> to browse the volume shares, and the user would receive an error from Windows
sso> NT Explorer when
sso> attempting to view the security attributes of a file or directory ("Invalid ha
sso> ndle").
sso> Since we had seen some other errors related to shared memory issues we obtaine
sso> d and installed Samba pre-3.0.0 (which
sso> uses its own database instead of shared memory). Same problems, just without t
sso> he shared memory errors.
sso> Some exploration of the source/include/config.h file revealed that the setreui
sso> d() call was being used on both platforms. From
sso> previous experience we have observed that some software that uses setreuid() d
sso> oes not work properly until a call to
sso> seteuid() is substituted.
sso> Temporary Solution:
sso> Since there did not seem to be any way to force the configure script in Samba
sso> pre-3.0.0 to select seteuid over setreuid
sso> we made temporary changes to the file source/include/config and changed the li
sso> nes
sso> /* undef USE_SETEUID */
sso> define USE_SETREUID 1
sso> to
sso> define USE_SETEUID 1
sso> /* undef USE_SETREUID */
sso> We then rebuilt and reinstalled the pre-3.0.0 server.
sso> The result has been that performance is very much improved, we are able to use
sso> the NT specific SMB protocol support, users can view or alter the security at
sso> tributes on files and directories that they own, and we have no shared memory
sso> problems.
sso> I have noted that the AIX platform seems to have similar issues. It would seem
sso> that the same may be true for IRIX and Tru64 UNIX.

Samba -->> OS/2

OS/2 -->> Samba
sso> ftp = 1.2 seconds
sso> smb = 6.0 seconds

sso> 2. Why are there still extended attribute (EA) problem on Samba

sso> some text, and save the file as n:\testme.txt. The attempt to save
sso> the file causes an error that the file cannot be written. In fact the

See IPX Howto - all of things are very simple. I've installed only
ncpfs client on Linux - no any serious problems.
