Ärende: Samba - I tire of this!
===============================
Every time I upgrade my linux distro, I get a new version of samba, and a
new slew of headaches!  :(  I tire of this!
 
I have a network with multiple PCs on it: a debian box, an XP box, a Win9x
box, and an OS/2 Warp 4 box (and a DOS box, but I am not even going to try
it yet).
 
Before the upgrade, all could talk to each other just fine.  Now, the
Windows and OS/2 boxes can talk to each other, and the XP box can talk to
the debian box.  However, the Win9x box cannot log onto any shares on the
debian box.  It claims the password is wrong (it is the same one used from
the XP box, so it is fine).  That is the error I get on the Win9x box.
 
The OS/2 box is not even able to list the shares available on the debian
machine.
 
I have checked the samba log.  It is difficult to tell for sure which
machine causes what error as the log apparently is not written to in
real-time.  By the time it is written, I am no longer sure which machine
was trying to access when the error was written.
 
It does have a bunch of "ai_family not supported" errors.
 
I made changes to samba.conf to make certain settings match the old config,
including a couple that I know allowed the OS/2 box to access the debian
samba shares in the past (ea support = yes and msdfs root = yes (may be
spelled wrong here)).  I am guessing one of the new config fields is
causing the problem, or support has been dropped for something.
 
Any clues?  The samba version is 2:3.2.5-4.
 
on edit: I was able to figure out that the XP box is sending the user name,
but the Win9x box is attempting the connection as "guest."  I have a share
that is set up under samba to accept guest logons, and it is able to get to
it.  I suspect that could be part of the problem, but doesn't explain why
the connections with the OS/2 box stopped working.
