Hi ! I have a problem after changing NT sp3 to sp4 and Samba from 1.x to 2.0. Now 20% of file transfers crashes with errors: [1999/01/29 09:34:37, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(138) error packet at line 1540 cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) eclass=1 ecode=6 What's that? System is practically unusable... I use Linux 2.0.36 or 2.2.
