[Samba] what is the recommended samba version on solaris?

[Eric Diven]

I'm using 3.0.23d on Solaris 10 successfully.  I was using 3.0.24 and
3.0.25[x] but was having ACL related problems with them.  I never had
the problem you're having though.  Of course Solaris 10 != Solaris 8,
but it's something to try.  Good luck.

Guys

I was so frustrated about installing samba with ADS and winbind support
on solaris 8.
After fixing many problems, I am now facing another problem:

I created a directory "test" in the samba share and was editing a file
under the directory "test" and in the meantime the machine was rebooted.
After the machine is started, the
whole directory "test" is gone. 

I am using samba3.0.26a with ads and winbind on solaris 8. Is it a bug
with this version?
Could anybody recommend a samba version for solaris 8.

Thanks
Junmin

Thanks for the reply.

By disable nscd on solaris, the problem with "ls -l" hung is fixed.

Now I notice another problem with the samba. I created a directory
"test" in the samba share and was editing a file under the directory
"test" and in the meantime the machine was rebooted. After the machine
is started, the 
whole directory "test" is gone. Anybody know this issue.

Thanks,

Junmin

What do "getent passwd" and "getent group" do?  I bet they hang after 
showing the contents of your /etc files.

I admin a Linux system which authenticates against a W2K AD, and have 
the following NSS-related stuff in my /etc/nsswitch.conf:

nss_map_objectclass     posixAccount user
nss_map_objectclass     shadowAccount user
nss_map_objectclass	uniqueMember member
nss_map_attribute       uid sAMAccountName
nss_map_attribute       homeDirectory unixHomeDirectory
nss_map_attribute       shadowLastChange pwdLastSet
nss_map_objectclass     posixGroup group
nss_map_attribute       cn sAMAccountName

If your /etc/nsswitch.conf is missing these, add 'em and see if they 
make a difference.
