http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Windows7 suggests you will need a Samba
3.4 or 3.3 version; 3.4.0 and 3.3.7 or above apparently work.

David,
thank you! Silly enough i wrote the page, only recognising the registry
hacks not the required Samba version.

Are there any pitfalls while upgrading from 3.0.x to 3.3 or above? Which is
the recommende Version i should upgrade to?

regards

I moved one server from 3.0.x to 3.4.x. I had an
"ou=groups,o=mydomain.com" entry for my unix groups and an
"ou=smb_groups,o=mydomain.com" for my group mapping entries. The
"Domain Users" group mapped to a unix group called "samba_domusers."
(same with other well known groups.) Samba 3.4 read through the entire
ldap tree so I ended up with some duplication. Since the group mapping
was messed up, any thing that involved the "Domain Users" being part of
local users on a particular machine wouldn't work right.

I got ride of the "ou=smb_groups" container, renamed samba_domusers unix
group to "Domain Users" (and so one for the other groups.)

I also added following to smb.conf

guest account = smb_nobody


And all seemed OK.

Hi,
Now i am confused about the different tribes 3.3x, 3.4x. 3.5x of samba.
I could not find something about it on samba.org.
Which one i should go for ? What are the major-differences between the
three?

regards

3.3.12 or 3.4.7 are the best versions for production systems in my
opinion. 3.5 adds experimental smb2 support but I like to wait a few
months before running a new series in production.

3.4.X series added a rewrite of the printing code but this broke 64
bit printing until the 3.4.6 version.
