samba - Jan 2000 - Problems with the 2.0.6 release ....

Hello,

we are trying to upgrade from 2.0.5a to 2.0.6 (under Digital Unix and 
Windows 95 clients). After the upgrade we get a lot of errors like 
these:

and the clients CAN'T connect to the Samba machine. If we downgrade to 
2.0.5a, the clients work OK and can connect to the Samba server! Any 
idea about what's the problem and what's the solution?

Many thanks!

Run
./configure
as root.

Then check that include/config.h is appropriate for your system (as
regards to seteuid stuff):

ie.:
on linux2.2.x/glibc2.1 I have
/* #undef USE_SETEUID */
#define USE_SETRESUID 1
/* #undef USE_SETREUID */
/* #undef USE_SETUIDX */

on linux2.0.x/libc5 I have
#define USE_SETEUID 1
/* #undef USE_SETRESUID */
/* #undef USE_SETREUID */
/* #undef USE_SETUIDX */

if configure fails to chose the right definitions for your system,
correct them yourself before make.
