From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040115 Firebird/0.8.0+ Description of problem: Last night, yum upgraded my samba from samba-3.0.2-1rc1 to 3.0.2-5 (from fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/d evelopment). Since then I can't log in no more. It keeps rejecting my password. The curious thing is, I can't find anything in the samba logs nor in /var/log/messages. I went back to samba-3.0.2-1rc1 and everything works again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. upgrade to 3.0.2-5 2. 3. Additional info:
At the very least I'll need a copy of your /etc/samba/smb.conf and a better description of your Windows network configuration before I'll have any chance at all of debugging this.
Created attachment 97764 [details] /etc/samba/smb.conf
Yes, sorry for being curt. I meant to provide more info, but then got drawn to other tasks. I attached the smb.conf (changed a few host names and ip addresses to protect the innocent.) I tried connecting from XP SP1, and another Fedora Core 1 box with smbclient. I tried resetting the smb user passwd with smbpasswd, didn't help. The allow hosts line seems not to be the culprit: if I connect from disallowed host, I _do_ get a log entry into /var/log/messages. And *just* backing samba, samba-common and samba-client from 3.0.2-5 to 3.0.2-1rc1 makes it work again. I have this sneaking suspicion that this is connected to the selinux libraries. I run almost full Fedora development distro, but I still have 2.4.x kernel without selinux support. Might the have been some changes in samba wrt this samba-3.0.2-1rc1 to 3.0.2-5?
I just saw an interesting message: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-February/080901.html Can you look at your smbpasswd file and see if perhaps this is describing your problem?
This is exactly the problem I had. Still wondering why it didn't log anything, but I'm happy with the problem solved. This sort of support the best I could ever have hoped for. I should give you a virtual gold star :).
