Use of netgroups in the hosts allow directive can't be used since they aren't configured. With debug level set to 3, the following message appears in /var/log/samba/log.smb: [1999/07/07 15:40:08, 0] lib/access.c:string_match(95) access: netgroup support is not configured This is due to a failure of the configure script to search libnsl.a for the yp_get_default_domain() function. A workaround is to define export LDFLAGS=-lnsl prior to running the configure script.
Actually, this should be classified as a more general problem as I have the same difficulties with sshd and tcp_wrappers. Was netgroup support not compiled in Red Hat binaries and, if so, is there an explanation as to why not?
fixed in samba in 2.0.5-1, available RSN. Changed to tcp_wrappers...
NETGROUP support added in tcp_wrappers-7.6-9.
