There are two group files, <code class="filename">/etc/group</code> and -<code class="filename">/etc/logingroup</code>; the system maps UIDs to numbers using the former, but -initgroups() reads the latter. Most system admins who know the ropes -symlink <code class="filename">/etc/group</code> to <code class="filename">/etc/logingroup</code> -(hard-link does not work for reasons too obtuse to go into here). initgroups() will complain if one of the -groups you're in, in <code class="filename">/etc/logingroup</code>, has what it considers to be an invalid -ID, which means outside the range <code class="constant">[0..UID_MAX]</code>, where <code class="constant">UID_MAX</code> is -60000 currently on HP-UX. This precludes -2 and 65534, the usual <code class="constant">nobody</code> -GIDs. -</p><p> -If you encounter this problem, make sure the programs that are failing -to initgroups() are run as users, not in any groups with GIDs outside the -allowed range. -</p><p> -This is documented in the HP manual pages under setgroups(2) and passwd(4). -</p><p> -<a class="indexterm" name="id450843"></a> -<a class="indexterm" name="id450849"></a> -On HP-UX you must use gcc or the HP ANSI compiler.

Without the patch, you may -encounter corrupt data transfers using Samba. -</p><p> -The patch you need is UOD385 Connection Drivers SLS. It is available from -SCO <a class="ulink" href="ftp://ftp.sco.com/" target="_top">ftp.sco.com</a>, directory SLS, -files uod385a.Z and uod385a.ltr.Z). -</p><p> -The information provided here refers to an old version of SCO UNIX. If you require -binaries for more recent SCO UNIX products, please contact SCO to obtain packages that are -ready to install. You should also verify with SCO that your platform is up to date for the -binary packages you will install. This is important if you wish to avoid data corruption -problems with your installation. To build Samba for SCO UNIX products may -require significant patching of Samba source code. It is much easier to obtain binary -packages directly from SCO. -</p></div><div class="sect1" title="DNIX"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id450891"></a>DNIX</h2></div></div></div><p> -DNIX has a problem with seteuid() and setegid(). These routines are -needed for Samba to work correctly, but they were left out of the DNIX -C library for some reason. -</p><p> -For this reason Samba by default defines the macro NO_EID in the DNIX -section of includes.h. This works around the problem in a limited way, -but it is far from ideal, and some things still will not work right. -</p><p> -To fix the problem properly, you need to assemble the following two -functions and then either add them to your C library or link them into -Samba. Put the following in the file <code class="filename">setegid.s</code>: -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - .globl _setegid -_setegid: - moveq #47,d0 - movl #100,a0 - moveq #1,d1 - movl 4(sp),a1 - trap #9 - bccs 1$ - jmp cerror -1$: - clrl d0 - rts -</pre><p> -Put this in the file <code class="filename">seteuid.s</code>: -</p><pre class="programlisting"> - .globl _seteuid -_seteuid: - moveq #47,d0 - movl #100,a0 - moveq #0,d1 - movl 4(sp),a1 - trap #9 - bccs 1$ - jmp cerror -1$: - clrl d0 - rts -</pre><p> -After creating the files, you then assemble them using -</p><pre class="screen"> -<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>as seteuid.s</code></strong> -<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>as setegid.s</code></strong> -</pre><p> -which should produce the files <code class="filename">seteuid.o</code> and -<code class="filename">setegid.o</code>. -</p><p> -Next you need to add these to the LIBSM line in the DNIX section of -the Samba Makefile.

These can cause AIX to have a higher WAIT values. Disabling -sequential read-ahead can also have an adverse affect on other workloads in the -system so you will need to evaluate other applications for impact. -</p><p> -It is recommended to use the defaults provided by IBM, but if you experience a -high amount of wait time, try disabling read-ahead with the following commands: -</p><p> -For AIX 5.1 and earlier: <strong class="userinput"><code>vmtune -r 0</code></strong> -</p><p> -For AIX 5.2 and later jfs filesystems: <strong class="userinput"><code>ioo -o minpgahead=0</code></strong> -</p><p> -For AIX 5.2 and later jfs2 filesystems: <strong class="userinput"><code>ioo -o j2_minPageReadAhead=0</code></strong> -</p><p> -If you have a mix of jfs and jfs2 filesystems on the same host, simply use both -ioo commands. -</p></div><div class="sect1" title="Solaris"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id451114"></a>Solaris</h2></div></div></div><div class="sect2" title="Locking Improvements"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id451119"></a>Locking Improvements</h3></div></div></div><p>Some people have been experiencing problems with F_SETLKW64/fcntl -when running Samba on Solaris. The built-in file-locking mechanism was -not scalable. Performance would degrade to the point where processes would -get into loops of trying to lock a file. It would try a lock, then fail, -then try again. The lock attempt was failing before the grant was -occurring. The visible manifestation of this was a handful of -processes stealing all of the CPU, and when they were trussed, they would -be stuck in F_SETLKW64 loops. -</p><p> -Please check with Sun support for current patches needed to fix this bug. -The patch revision for 2.6 is 105181-34, for 8 is 108528-19, and for 9 is 112233-04. -After the installation of these patches, it is recommended to reconfigure -and rebuild Samba. -</p><p>Thanks to Joe Meslovich for reporting this.</p></div><div class="sect2" title="Winbind on Solaris 9"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="winbind-solaris9"></a>Winbind on Solaris 9</h3></div></div></div><p> -Nsswitch on Solaris 9 refuses to use the Winbind NSS module.
