-<P>Many of the ports have been done by people outside the Samba team keen
-to get the advantages of Samba. The Samba team is currently trying to
-bring as many of these ports as possible into the main source tree and
-integrate the documentation. Samba is an integration tool, and so it has
-been made as easy as possible to port. The platforms most widely used
-and thus best tested are Linux and SunOS.</P>
-<P>This migration has not been completed yet. This means that some
-documentation is on web sites <F>...</F></P>
-<P>There are two main families of Samba ports, Unix and other. The Unix
-ports cover anything that remotely resembles Unix and includes some
-extremely old products as well as best-sellers, tiny PCs to massive
-multiprocessor machines supporting hundreds of thousands of users. Samba
-has been run on more than 30 Unix and Unix-like operating systems.</P>

-<P>If your GUI client does not permit you to select non-browsable
-servers, you may need to do so on the command line. For example, under
-Lan Manager you might connect to the above service as disk drive M:
-thusly:
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
- net use M: \\mary\fred
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>

-
-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>

-<H2><A NAME="ss2.10">2.10 My client reports "cannot locate specified computer" or similar</A></H2>
-
-<P>
-<A NAME="cant_see_server"></A>
-
-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 Man 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>

-<H2><A NAME="ss2.11">2.11 My client reports "cannot locate specified share name" or similar</A></H2>
-
-<P>
-<A NAME="cant_see_share"></A>
-
-This message indicates that your client CAN locate the specified
-server, which is a good start, but that it cannot find a service of
-the name you gave.</P>
-<P>The first step is to check the exact name of the service you are
-trying to connect to (consult your system administrator). Assuming it
-exists and you specified it correctly (read your client's doco on how
-to specify a service name correctly), read on:</P>
-<P>
-<UL>
-<LI> Many clients cannot accept or use service names longer than eight characters.</LI>
-<LI> Many clients cannot accept or use service names containing spaces.</LI>
-<LI> Some servers (not Samba though) are case sensitive with service names.</LI>
-<LI> Some clients force service names into upper case.</LI>

-<H2><A NAME="ss2.12">2.12 My client reports "cannot find domain controller", "cannot log on to the network" or similar </A></H2>
-
-<P>
-<A NAME="cant_see_net"></A>
-
-Nothing is wrong - Samba does not implement the primary domain name
-controller stuff for several reasons, including the fact that the
-whole concept of a primary domain controller and "logging in to a
-network" doesn't fit well with clients possibly running on multiuser
-machines (such as users of smbclient under Unix). Having said that,
-several developers are working hard on building it in to the next
-major version of Samba. If you can contribute, send a message to
-<A HREF="mailto:samba@samba.org">samba@samba.org</A> !</P>
-<P>Seeing this message should not affect your ability to mount redirected
-disks and printers, which is really what all this is about.</P>
-<P>For many clients (including Windows for Workgroups and Lan Manager),
-setting the domain to STANDALONE at least gets rid of the message.</P>
-
-
-<H2><A NAME="ss2.13">2.13 Printing doesn't work :-(</A></H2>
-
-<P>
-<A NAME="no_printing"></A>
- </P>
-<P>Make sure that the specified print command for the service you are
-connecting to is correct and that it has a fully-qualified path (eg.,
-use "/usr/bin/lpr" rather than just "lpr", if you happen to be using
-Unix).</P>
-<P>Make sure that the spool directory specified for the service is
-writable by the user connected to the service. </P>
-<P>Make sure that the user specified in the service is permitted to use
-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>
-<P>If using WfWg then you need to set the default protocol to TCP/IP, not
-Netbeui. This is a WfWg bug.</P>
-<P>If using the Lanman1 protocol (the default) then try switching to
-coreplus. Also not that print status error messages don't mean
-printing won't work. The print status is received by a different
-mechanism.</P>
-
-
-<H2><A NAME="ss2.14">2.14 My programs install on the server OK, but refuse to work properly</A></H2>
-
-<P>
-<A NAME="programs_wont_run"></A>
-
-There are numerous possible reasons for this, but one MAJOR
-possibility is that your software uses locking. Make sure you are
-using Samba 1.6.11 or later. It may also be possible to work around
-the problem by setting "locking=no" in the Samba configuration file
-for the service the software is installed on. This should be regarded
-as a strictly temporary solution.</P>
-<P>In earlier Samba versions there were some difficulties with the very
-latest Microsoft products, particularly Excel 5 and Word for Windows
-6. These should have all been solved. If not then please let Andrew
-Tridgell know via email at
-<A HREF="mailto:sambas@samba.org">samba@samba.org</A>.</P>

-<A NAME="bad_server_string"></A>
-
-OR My client reports the default setting, eg. "Samba 1.9.15p4", instead
-of what I have changed it to in the smb.conf file.</P>
-<P>You need to use the -C option in nmbd. The "server string" affects
-what smbd puts out and -C affects what nmbd puts out.</P>
-<P>Current versions of Samba (1.9.16 +) have combined these options into
-the "server string" field of smb.conf, -C for nmbd is now obsolete.</P>

-<H3>Log message "you appear to have a trapdoor uid system" </H3>
-
-<P>
-<A NAME="trapdoor_uid"></A>
-
-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>
