My previous reply seems to not have made it to cooker, so here is a new one (updated).

This is one of the recommended patches for 2.2.5 from the samba team (take from 2.26pre CVS). Could you test these RPMs please, and see if the problem presists: http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/nss_wins-2.2.6-1.0.20020828mdk.i586.rpm http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/samba-client-2.2.6-1.0.20020828mdk.i586.rpm http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/samba-common-2.2.6-1.0.20020828mdk.i586.rpm http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/samba-doc-2.2.6-1.0.20020828mdk.i586.rpm http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/samba-server-2.2.6-1.0.20020828mdk.i586.rpm http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/samba-swat-2.2.6-1.0.20020828mdk.i586.rpm http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/cooker/samba-winbind-2.2.6-1.0.20020828mdk.i586.rpm It will be much easier to get a fix if it's broken in CVS (since there are probably more using CVS than using 2.2.5 with all the patches). > > I then rebuilt the binary rpms, and installed them.

FYI, samba RPMs now build out of samba_2_2 cvs, so you can checkout cvs, and then do: $ cd samba/packaging/Mandrake $ sh makerpms-cvs.sh 2.2.6 Then wait a while (20 mins on an 800 Duron) till RPMs appear ...
