Hi Andrew,

What I have found is that 3.0.10 works fine on Fedora 1 and 2, but 
3.0.11 and the 3.0.12 prerelease suffers the issue described by me 
earlier and by Dimitry here. I built from SRPMS provided on samba.org in 
all cases.

It is related to LDAP, as if I comment out the

passdb backend=ldapsam:ldap://localhost

directive from the config file, the errors from smbclient stop. 
Unfortunately it doesn't use LDAP, which is what I want.

After restarting smbd/nmbd with 3.0.11 or 3.0.12pre1, I get a share list 
and this error when I do smbclient -L localhost:

"session setup failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)
NetBIOS over TCP disabled -- no workgroup available"

Then if I repeat smbclient -L localhost, I get the following only:

"protocol negotiation failed"

With the above smb.conf directive enabled, the LDAP logs show Samba 
querying the LDAP server, and there doesn't appear to be a lot wrong 
with whats happening. It just doesn't work right!

Is there a known working version of nss_ldap that we can try? Which 
patch are you referring to?

Many thanks,

Phil
