I'm wondering about the two things that may have changed besides the
version of Samba. One is that you are using security=user in a system
without a domain. I don't think that should change anything except
that you probably don't have a machine account on the server.
The other thing is that you may be testing using a Windows 7 client.
Do you get the same result using a Windows XP client? Possibly the
client interactions have changed with Windows 7, such as a lowering of
the retry or timeout settings before reporting the error you are getting?
My goal with this is to make everything work before I join it to the
domain. And then go on through and fix those problems. I've already
had this machine successfully joined to the domain, and doing it's thing
with cups-pdf - printing documents into home dirs, having people connect
without passwords, etc, all that works. I ran into considerable trouble
with the printing system, asked in irc and this list, but since I didn't
get much reply, I chose to destroy the system and start over with a much
simpler method - just security=user. It seems that Samba really has it
sorted for getting joined up as a member server - that part was
exceptionally easy and worked very well. It's the printing that's
always caused me issues.
Now, I have a WindowsXP 32 bit pro machine, a Windows 2003 32 bit
server, and a Windows 7 x64 pro machine for testing against the samba
install.
They do not behave the same way. Looking at the logs with level 10, I'd
say it's near impossible to actually add a printer with Windows 7. the
information that's sent from the Windows 7 machine is severely mangled,
and as such, it's not a machine I can consider for use as a printer
admin machine.
As clients, however, these machines all behave the same way, and as
expected which is just fine.
Who knows, it might be that this all goes away once winbindd is engaged
with the domain user mapping and such again.
