[Info-vax] Can't get HP CIFS running ...

[Bob Armstrong]

  I want to run SAMBA on an Alpha OVMS8.3, so I decided to download
and try HP CIFS 1.1 (the latest, AFAIK).  Got it installed and set up
with no problems.  We don't have many Windows machines and none of the
Windows machines log into a domain nor is there any domain
controller.  I want to use "security = share" and then have no
password on the shares (we're all friends here :-) so my smb.conf goes
something like this -

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = OpenVMS ALPHA (Samba %v)
security = SHARE
load printers = no
netbios name = %h
log file = /samba$root/var/log_%h.%m
create mode = 0755

[Bob]
comment = Bob's files on CODA
path = /users/bob
guest ok = Yes
force user = bob
read only = No

  This is essentially the same configuration I'm using with a Linux
server running the same Samba version (3.0.28a) that CIFS is suppsed
to be based on.

  When I try and browse the shares on the Alpha from Windows, the
connection times out.  If I go to the Alpha machine and say

$ smbclient "-L" 10.1.1.2
Password:
          Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[OpenVMS] Server=[Samba 3.0.28a]
Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding
tree connect failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after
20000 milliseconds

  the SMBD process seems to hang up and the connection times out.
Looking at the SMBD log file, it says -

[2009/08/29 12:50:39, 1] SAMBA$SRC:[SOURCE.NSSWITCH]IDMAP.C;1:(377)

  Initializing idmap domains

[2009/08/29 12:50:39, 1] SAMBA$SRC:[SOURCE.NSSWITCH]IDMAP_TDB.C;1:

  idmap uid range missing or invalid

  idmap will be unable to map foreign SIDs

[2009/08/29 12:50:39, 0] SAMBA$SRC:[SOURCE.NSSWITCH]IDMAP.C;1:(700)

  ERROR: Initialization failed for alloc backend tdb, deferred!

[2009/08/29 12:50:39, 0] SAMBA$SRC:[SOURCE.NSSWITCH]WINBINDD_PASSDB.C;

  Possible deadlock: Trying to lookup SID S-1-1-0 with passdb backend

[2009/08/29 12:50:39, 0] SAMBA$SRC:[SOURCE.NSSWITCH]WINBINDD_PASSDB.C;
1:(129)

  Possible deadlock: Trying to lookup SID S-1-5-2 with passdb backend

  and then eventually the SMBD dies with -

%%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM  29-AUG-2009 12:25:07.28  %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user SYSTEM on CODA
MultiNet Server: Service SMBD pid 0000044B failed: access violation,
reason mask =!XB, virtual address=!XH, PC=!XH, PS=!XL

  Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
