HP CIFS Server Release Note

Known Problems and Workarounds

Chapter 1 15

To avoid the error altogether, a registry change can resolve the problem

as described in the MS knowledge base article found at

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=324491

Samba community also observed the problem and has further

characterized it in the Bugzilla at

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1094

Problem Because of increased Windows security requirements, proﬁle storing may

fail if adequate authority has not been conﬁgured for roaming proﬁles.

Workaround Set profile acls = yes for the proﬁle share used for the user proﬁle

ﬁles. Do not set profile acls = yes on normal shares as this will

result in incorrect ownership of the ﬁles created on those shares.

Problem 64 bit Windows XP clients cannot connect to the CIFS Server when it is

conﬁgured with smb.conf parameter "security=server". Other

Windows clients could also fail to connect if they have the local policy for

LAN Manager set to "Send NTLM response only" as does the 64 bit

Windows XP clients by default.

Workaround Use the Administrative Tool and proceed with the following steps on

each failing client:

Step 1. Select "Local Security Policy”.

Step 2. Select "Local Policies".

Step 3. Select "Security Options".

Step 4. Select "Network security: Lan Manager authentication level".

Step 5. Set it to "Send LM & NTLM response" or “Send LM & NTLM - use

NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.

Problem When using the smbpasswd command the ﬁrst time you add a Samba

user to a new CIFS Server installation, the command may respond with

a misleading message. See the following example:

./smbpasswd -a user1

New SMB password:

Retype new SMB password:

The misleading messages are displayed as follows:
