[Samba] smbd daemon crash when connect to shared folder

[Le, Anh]

Hi Jeremy,

I have a few Solaris 8 machines. They all have exactly the same Samba version installed and configurations,  and they are working fine. I have no problem to connect to their shared locations from the Windows machines. However, somehow it does not work on this machine. I checked everything and they all the same setup, but it works on others and not on this machine. Would you have any idea? I appreciate it.

By the way, I appreciate very much for you quick response.

Thanks
Anh.

Almost certainly too many groups for your poor Solaris 8 machine (which has a limit of 16 groups per process I believe).
