Samba groups are broken

Doug Clark:
I am trying to get samba server 3.6.25 installed on a new machine.

I am getting the message

Samba groups are broken, only 0 instead of 9 groups found.


Any ideas for how to get past / fix this?

Thanks in advance

Neil Waldhauer:
I'm interested in getting this working as well.

Doug Clark:
To expand on this:

I have Samba server 3.6.25 running on eComStation that runs pretty well.  I can connect to that machine from Win7, Win10, and various Macs.  In order to connect from Win10 I had to add a line to smb.conf
max protocol = SMB2.  Win10 was nice enough to tell me what the problem was.

I have tried installing 3.6.25 on AOS 5.1 using the *.wpi from the AOS ISO, and using the *.wpi from Netlabs. 

I get the error of "Samba groups are broken..." with either the *.wpi from the AOS  ISO or the *.wpi from Netlabs.  The version numbers of both say they are the same but it looks like there is a 5k difference in size - the one from the AOS ISO being larger.

If I had to guess I would guess that the problem is a difference in one or more of the unix-y DLLs and such between the two machines: AOS 5.1 and ECS 2.? beta

Dave Yeo:
Doug, you might want to compare @unixroot/etc/group and @unixroot/etc/master.password between your AOS and eCS systems. Probably not the problem but easy to check.

Doug Clark:
Dave,

I copied the group and master.password files from unixroot\etc on ECS to AOS machines.  Same problem.

Yesterday I tried copying the installed samba files from ECS to AOS machines - that didn't work out well.  Perhaps 'cause I didn't get all the locations?

Since both ECS and AOS machines are running WSeB, I tried mapping a drive letter on AOS machine to unixroot on ECS machine and changing UNIXROOT on the AOS machine to the mapped drive letter.  SMBUSERS.EXE complains that Samba isn't running - even though it is.

I also tried just ignoring the samba groups error and seeing if I could connect to Samba on the AOS machine from Win10.  Win10 says the server does not exist on the network.

I guess I COULD install ECS on a virtual machine running in the AOS machine and install Samba on that virtualized ECS system - but that seems ... clunky.
