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.

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.
