[Samba] samba 3.06rc2, suse 64amd and os2

[Guenter Kukkukk]

Hi,

when I tried to connect our SuSE 9.1 linux server running
samba-3.0.5.1 to our anchient - but still pretty well running -
OS/2 Warpserver, I ran into a lot of troubles.

So I had a closer look into the samba-sources and with the
help of ethereal I found some bugs, which made it impossible
to talk to the OS/2 Warpserver, which is running the
LANMAN2.1-protocol:

On 30.07.2004 I posted a bug in the LANMAN2.1 session setup code:
Summary: LANMAN2 protocol (and lower)  broken in samba-3.x
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571

This bug has already been fixed in 3.0.5.x by Andrew Bartlett.

>From now on the two machines were able to setup a session,
but the linux machine was still not able to send any data to the
Warpserver.

Further investigation lead to another bug-report on 7.08.2004:
Summary: Any writing and spooling to LANMAN2 server broken (OS/2
                    Warpserver)
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1590

This really strange looking bug *is still unresolved* - may be I should
raise it to "critical"....

I did all the changes to the 3.0.5.1 source locally on my linux
machine - recompiled and installed it.
Now all is working as expected!

Best wishes.
