Package: samba Version: 3.0.14a-3 Severity: important
After starting samba, then winbind, clients cannot authorize correctly (seemingly) due to a lack of agreement on the separator character between smbd and winbindd. Winbind parses the option literally and the first non-(white)space character seen after the = is taken as the separator. However, smbd doesn't seem to parse it in the same way and the separator character must be put between quotes to distinguish the character. The scenario taken (now) to start up samba is (assuming winbind separator = +) : start up samba and winbind (order doesn't seem to matter) change smb.conf such that: winbind separator = "+" invoke-rc.d samba restart At this point clients authenticate okay. jeff -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-386 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages samba depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libacl1 2.2.23-1 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 2.4.16-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.37-2sarge1 common error description library ii libcupsys2-gnutls10 1.1.23-10 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libkrb53 1.3.6-2sarge2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-8 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam-modules 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii logrotate 3.7-5 Log rotation utility ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii samba-common 3.0.14a-3 Samba common files used by both th -- debconf information: samba/nmbd_from_inetd: samba/run_mode: daemons samba/log_files_moved: samba/tdbsam: false samba/generate_smbpasswd: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
