openSUSE 11 to Netware 6.5 sp5 CIFs copy fails

English Network/Internet

I have recently upgraded from openSUSE v10.2 to v11, I have used SAMBA to connect to Netware 6.5 sp6 CIFs without problem using v10.2. Since upgrading to openSUSE v11 I can connect and login OK using SAMBA to Netware 6.5 sp6 but cannot read or copy anything, data corruption ? ideas welcome. Thanks

What do you see in /var/log/samba/log.smbd when you try to read or copy? While
your working on this it might help to add to the global section
of /etc/samba/smb.conf the parameter "log level = 3. That will give you more
detailed logs but you will probably want to remove it after you get things
fixed.

Thanks for reply, no log appears to be created. I tried the log level = 3 as above. The login authentication is fine and I can see folders and files but are unable to read or copy anything.

Thanks

It has been over 10 years since I worked with Netware, so I don’t think there is
much more I can offer. This all smells like a permission problem. You might
try setting these global parameters in your smb.conf;
lanman auth = yes
client lanman auth = yes
The defaults changed on these with SAMBA 3.2.0, I’m not very hopeful but it is
worth a shot. Also have you added users with “smbpasswd -a <username>”? One
would think something would show up in the logs if any of these were a problem,
that is what I was hoping for with my original post. Can you see anything in
the logs on the Netware side?

I will wait for patches maybe something will come to fix the problem, just to reiterate authentication is not the problem also openSUSE 10.2 worked fine so it has to be something in SAMBA versus openSUSE 11.0 release.

Thanks

Clarification

Mounting a drive using CIFS works, what does not work is a SMB mount out of Konqueror for example

This works (Authentication and read / copy)

mount -t cifs -o username=xyz /source /dest

This does not work (Authentication OK but read /copy fails)

from Konqueror

smb//:source

So I assume the problem is something to do with SMB and Konqueror

What version of KDE is installed? Version 4.0 has known issues.

KDE 3.5.9 release 49.1 the default 3.5 that came with openSUSE 11.0

Thanks
