David,
thank you! Silly enough i wrote the page, only recognising the registry
hacks not the required Samba version.

Are there any pitfalls while upgrading from 3.0.x to 3.3 or above? Which is
the recommende Version i should upgrade to?

Hi,
which version of Samba do i need, when i want to run Win 7 Clients ?
At the moment i am running Samba version 3.0.28a with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 suggests you will need a Samba
3.4 or 3.3 version; 3.4.0 and 3.3.7 or above apparently work.

I moved one server from 3.0.x to 3.4.x. I had an "ou=groups,o=mydomain.com" entry for my unix groups and an "ou=smb_groups,o=mydomain.com" for my group mapping entries. The "Domain Users" group mapped to a unix group called "samba_domusers." (same with other well known groups.) Samba 3.4 read through the entire ldap tree so I ended up with some duplication. Since the group mapping was messed up, any thing that involved the "Domain Users" being part of local users on a particular machine wouldn't work right.

I got ride of the "ou=smb_groups" container, renamed samba_domusers unix group to "Domain Users" (and so one for the other groups.)

I also added following to smb.conf

    guest account = smb_nobody


And all seemed OK.
