Re: funky samba stuff



Whoa. This sounds like a bug I ran into long ago. I got it when I upgraded to potato
but kept my 2.0.X kernel. The problem has to do with a library call samba uses to set
gid (just like the log suggests). Does this sound like your situation? I fixed it by
modifying the source. The configure script checks for the existence of this library
call and uses it if it exists. It did on my potato system but didn't work. I fixed it
by munging the source after configure was run. It would have been easier to just run
2.2.X but sometimes you just have to go the hard way.
