After today's samba update, Centos 3 boxes can not use samba to communicate with each other, although Windows and the Centos 3 boxes see each other correctly as do RHEL5 and the Centos3 boxes. The du command works well, but ls, cp, cat ,etc produces the error: PANIC: push_ascii - dest_len == -1 in the server log and smb_trans2_request: result=-5, setting invalid in the client.
You mean samba-3.0.9-1.3E.13.2 -> samba-3.0.9-1.3E.14.1 ?
The changelog only reads: * Wed Oct 17 2007 Simo Sorce ssorce@redhat.com 3.0.9-1.3E.14 - Security fix for CVE-2007-4572 and CVE-2007-5398 resolves: #350731 resolves: #359101
Are all your CentOS-3 machines running the same samba version? (smb restarted ?)
A similar (but more serious) set of problems was reported in Ubuntu early this morning after their update.
Is any one else experiencing this problem with samba and Centos 3 after the update?
You are the first reporting it, I don't really use samba ;)
According to the diff from the 2 above versions, the possible culprit is samba-3.0.9-CVE-2007-4572.patch
Cheers, and keep up posted!
