->If you check what files are not showing up, you will note that they
-are files which contain upper case letters or which are otherwise not
-DOS-compatible (ie, they are not legal DOS filenames for some reason).</P
-><P
->The Samba server can be configured either to ignore such files
-completely, or to present them to the client in "mangled" form. If you
-are not seeing the files at all, the Samba server has most likely been
-configured to ignore them. Consult the man page smb.conf(5) for
-details of how to change this - the parameter you need to set is
-"mangled names = yes".</P

-><P
->This indicates one of three things: You supplied an incorrect server
-name, the underlying TCP/IP layer is not working correctly, or the
-name you specified cannot be resolved.</P
-><P
->After carefully checking that the name you typed is the name you
-should have typed, try doing things like pinging a host or telnetting
-to somewhere on your network to see if TCP/IP is functioning OK. If it
-is, the problem is most likely name resolution.</P
-><P
->If your client has a facility to do so, hardcode a mapping between the
-hosts IP and the name you want to use. For example, with Lan Manager
-or Windows for Workgroups you would put a suitable entry in the file
-LMHOSTS. If this works, the problem is in the communication between
-your client and the netbios name server. If it does not work, then
-there is something fundamental wrong with your naming and the solution
-is beyond the scope of this document.</P
-><P
->If you do not have any server on your subnet supplying netbios name
-resolution, hardcoded mappings are your only option. If you DO have a
-netbios name server running (such as the Samba suite's nmbd program),
-the problem probably lies in the way it is set up. Refer to Section
-Two of this FAQ for more ideas.</P
-><P
->By the way, remember to REMOVE the hardcoded mapping before further
-tests :-)</P

-use "/usr/bin/lpr" rather than just "lpr").</P

->Make sure that the spool directory specified for the service is

-"nobody" often has problems with printing, even if it worked with an

-"nobody".</P

-the printer.</P
-><P
->Check the debug log produced by smbd. Search for the printer name and
-see if the log turns up any clues. Note that error messages to do with
-a service ipc$ are meaningless - they relate to the way the client
-attempts to retrieve status information when using the LANMAN1
-protocol.</P

->If using WfWg then you need to set the default protocol to TCP/IP, not
-Netbeui. This is a WfWg bug.</P

->If using the Lanman1 protocol (the default) then try switching to
-coreplus. Also not that print status error messages don't mean

->2.8. Log message "you appear to have a trapdoor uid system"</A
-></H1
-><P
->This can have several causes. It might be because you are using a uid
-or gid of 65535 or -1. This is a VERY bad idea, and is a big security
-hole. Check carefully in your /etc/passwd file and make sure that no
-user has uid 65535 or -1. Especially check the "nobody" user, as many
-broken systems are shipped with nobody setup with a uid of 65535.</P
-><P
->It might also mean that your OS has a trapdoor uid/gid system :-)</P
-><P
->This means that once a process changes effective uid from root to
-another user it can't go back to root. Unfortunately Samba relies on
-being able to change effective uid from root to non-root and back
-again to implement its security policy. If your OS has a trapdoor uid
-system this won't work, and several things in Samba may break. Less
-things will break if you use user or server level security instead of
-the default share level security, but you may still strike
-problems.</P
-><P
->The problems don't give rise to any security holes, so don't panic,
-but it does mean some of Samba's capabilities will be unavailable.
-In particular you will not be able to connect to the Samba server as
-two different uids at once. This may happen if you try to print as a
-"guest" while accessing a share as a normal user. It may also affect
-your ability to list the available shares as this is normally done as
-the guest user.</P
-><P
->Complain to your OS vendor and ask them to fix their system.</P
-><P
->Note: the reason why 65535 is a VERY bad choice of uid and gid is that
-it casts to -1 as a uid, and the setreuid() system call ignores (with
-no error) uid changes to -1. This means any daemon attempting to run
-as uid 65535 will actually run as root. This is not good!</P

->This is from Paul Eggert eggert@twinsun.com.</P
-><P
->Most likely it's a problem with your time zone settings.</P
-><P
->Internally, Samba maintains time in traditional Unix format,
-namely, the number of seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 Universal Time
-(or ``GMT''), not counting leap seconds.</P

->On the server side, Samba uses the Unix TZ variable to convert
