[Samba] Problem browsing shares on 4.1.4 (Ubuntu 12.04)

[Chris Alavoine]

Hi there,

I noticed this bug as we were due to put this into production and wondered
if anyone else had seen similar.

When browsing a PDC share on Samba 4.1.4 (like Sysvol or netlogon or any
other newly created one) from a Windows box we see this error:

"\\pdc\share refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a
hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure the disk
is... etc etc.."

Initially I thought this was something to do with the underlying storage
(SAN) and so moved the VM to a local disk. Same dice.

smbclient appeared to list the shares ok, but if you did a:

smbclient //pdc/share -UAdministrator

and then tried to ls I got an NTSTATUS error.

Today I have recompiled back to 4.1.3 and the shares work as expected. Have
also tested with 4.0.15 and 4.1.2 and they work fine.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Thanks,
Chris.
