I upgraded to 4.0 with patches, but did not upgrade SAMBA. - Works fine. I did
the upgrade in steps, i.e. kernel & libc & Gcc stuff, then the rest, then
needed networking services. Plan to build a new samba over the weekend.
Did you upgrade SAMBA as well as redhat?
Did rpm make a /etc/samba.conf.rpmsave out of your config file and replace it
with a vanilla /etc/samba.conf? If so, you might need to merge your changes
into the new file (or try with the old one since not much should have changed
in necessary SAMBA config params). Similarly, the /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba.init
file (or wherever you start samba) may have been affected. This, I think, is
the most common cause of post-upgrade problems.
Can you log in by other means? Telnet? Ftp? Netatalk? I assume this could be
related to pam, but haven't read up enough about it yet.
Can your SAMBA users use services that allow guest login (usually some printer
or read-only dir)?
Does smbclient -L your_server_name produce anything? If yes, can you connect to
your server from a unix command prompt with smbclient?
If this is a production machine, I would restore the previous system from
backups and try the new config on a test system, if the rpmsave things don't
work.
