winbind upgrade breaks smbusers

[tonyw]

Applying the recent upgrade to winbind (3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4) broke access to samba shares from both Windows and Linux Clients when the username is listed in smbusers. Removing the winbind package on the server fixed the problem and restored access.

The Server is running XUbuntu 8.04 and is fully up-to-date as regards packages. Samba has both smbusers and smbpasswd files in use and which are used to map Windows login names (with spaces) to Unix user names. Samba Unix extensions are not in use on the server in order to avoid other access control problems (from Linux clients with different UID mappings). Samba security is set to "user" and the network is organised as a Workgroup rather than a Windows Domain.

When the upgrade was applied access was refused to both Windows and Linux clients using user names in the smbusers file. However, access was possible from both Windows and Linux clients by logging in using an existing Unix Username on the server. This problem persisted despite rebooting both client and server.

Inspection of the upgrade logs showed that Winbind was the only candidate for causing the problem. Removing Winbind restored access to clients using smbusers usernames. Conclusion, the Winbind update is broken.

I have removed windbind from my system.
The fault is still solid.
I have to re-install nautilus again.

Cannot browse shares on windows network.

OK Try this.

edit your /etc/hosts file
insert your share host name and IP address

I inserted

192.168.1.2 STORAGE

now I can browse the shares on STORAGE computer.

Interesting ????

If apt-get remove windbind reported no package found then you aren't issued by this bug, also i have my shares server name and ip in the hosts table and it did nothing.
