Failed to set gid privileges

[Justin Slootsky]

I run Debian Linux, and I had Samba running.  I just upgraded to version 2.2
of Debian, which included an upgrade to version 2.0.7-3.  Now I'm getting
the following messages anytime a connection is attempted, and then I get a
message that "This device does not exist on the network"
