Angry Samba failed to set uid


Today should be a Monday...

Anyway, out of the blue, users can no longer connect to samba shares (running samba 3.0.24-1 on Fedora Core 5).

This is part of the error message I am receiving in their samba log:

[2007/10/10 13:09:48, 0] lib/util_sec.c:assert_uid(101)
Failed to set uid privileges to (-1,578) now set to (0,0)

The userid is correct for the user trying to connect.

I fixed the issue...whatever it was...by rebooting the server. Kind of a Windoz moment there.
