[Samba] 2.2.7a securtiy 'server' auth. problems

[Frank.Heckes at nokia.com]

Hi all,

sorry if this has been asked before, but as far as I could see there's no similar entry in the archive.

I'm using version 2.2.7a on a HP machine running HP-UX 11.11. The binaries have been created for PA-RISC 2.0 supporting 64Bit mode.
The SAMBA has been configured to use securty = server. Password servers has been 'defined'. For a certain user (Service account used to run ClearCase on a Windo$ 2000 PC) a username translation has been established via the `username.map´
file (kosmol = ccvobftm). From time to time the connection to the server breaks and the following messages are reported to the smbd logfile:

  Mapped user ccvobftm to kosmol
[2003/05/08 12:24:25, 1] smbd/password.c:server_validate(1101)
  password server  is not connected
[2003/05/08 12:24:25, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
  Couldn't find user 'kosmol' in passdb.
[2003/05/08 12:24:25, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(975)
  NT Password did not match for user 'kosmol'!
[2003/05/08 12:24:25, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(985)
  Defaulting to Lanman password for kosmol
[2003/05/08 12:24:25, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
  Couldn't find user 'kosmol' in passdb.
[2003/05/08 12:24:25, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(1001)
  Rejecting user 'kosmol': authentication failed
[2003/05/08 12:24:25, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(94)
  error string = No such file or directory

yielding to an access problem (error) on the client affected (WINDO$ 2000 'workstation').
Strange thing to me is that function server_validate should printed out the server name, too. It seems that the process lose this information (cli deallocated?). Many thanks in advance for any hint or suggestion getting rid of this problem.

Bye
