   Hi,
   
   I have installed samba 2.0.6 under HP-UX 10.20.
   
   I downloaded the precompiler binaries for samba 2.0.6 and followed as
   per the instructions and installed the SAMBA from the HP-UX depot it
   created.
   
   And now when I start from /sbin/init.d/samba the smbd daemon  starts
   and
   this is the message I see in the /var/opt/samba/log.smb :
   
   invalid argument

   [2000/01/24 16:11:15, 1] smbd/server.c:(621)
     smbd version 2.0.4b started.

   The /etc/services file is as follows:
   
   swat            901/tcp                         # Samba configuration
   tool
   netbios-ssn     139/tcp                         # Samba
   netbios-ns      137/udp                         # Samba      
   
   The /etc/inetd.conf file is as follows:
   
   # SMB connections handled by Samba
   swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /opt/samba/bin/swat swat
   netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /opt/samba/bin/smbd smbd
   netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /opt/samba/bin/nmbd nmbd   
   
   
   The contents of the /opt/samba/lib/smb.conf file is as follows:
   
   [global]
   netbios name = HPSAPP05
   workgroup = SWGDOM01
   security = user
   
   [boss1]
   Comment = shared directory for group boss
   path = /INSTALL/boss1
   writeable = yes
   valid users = @sapsys
   locking = yes
   create mode = 0660
   directory mode = 0770
   
   [homes]
   guest ok = no
   read only = no
   comment = UNIX home directory space
   path = %H
   writeable = yes
   valid users = %S
   create mode = 0600             
   
   Please note that the HP-UX server is running HP-UX 10.20 and it is
   called
   hpsapp05 and I have called the workgroup as SWGDOM01 which is my 
   NT domain for all users in the network.All that I  need to do is
   access the 
   share /INSTALL/boss1 from Windows 95 and NT workstations.I will be
   extremely 
   grateful if somebody can help me in fixing this and please I would
   appreciate if you.
   
   I have created a UNIX userid  testuser in /etc/passwd and it is in
   the UNIX group
   sapsys.I am logged on to my NT Domain as testuser and when I say from
   a
   DOS window on a Windows 98 system as follows:
   
   
   net use f: \\hpsapp05\boss1
   
   I get the following error message:
   
   Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be
   located.Make suer you are specifying the computer name correctly, or
   try again
   later when the remote computer is available.
   
   WHen I try ping hpsapp05 from the windows machine I can reach that
   box.
   
   Running smbclient on the hpsapp05 box as follows:
   
   /opt/samba/bin/smbclient -L HPSAPP05 -U testuser
   Added interface ip=172.17.132.37 bcast=172.17.135.255
   nmask=255.255.252.0

           SWGDOM01             SWGSER10         
   
   I get the above output.I can't understand where it is picking the 
   Workgroup as MISSIONSYS that was my workgroup 
   previously on the windows workstation which I have changed to
   SWGDOM01 and rebooted windows.MISSIONSYS was my 
   workgroup in smb.conf previously which I changed to 
   SWGDOM01 and stopped samba and restarted it still seems
   to remember the old worksgroup and similarly HPBAYAPP was 
   the previous netbios name which I modified now before restarting
   the smbd to HPSAPP05 but samba still shows the old names.
   Can anyone please clarify a fix.All I want to do is map the 
   file share on windows and also print to the printer that I will 
   next setup on the samba server.Am I supposed to add
   the samba server to the NT domain.I do not want to request 
   our NT administrators to add the HPSAPP05 to the NT domain
   is there a way out that I can just work at UNIX and manage 
   the visibility of the Samba server to my Windows PCs.??
   
   
   Many thanks & Regards
   Mohan
