[Samba] repeatedly crashing smbd when printing: broken pipe

for months, we keep fighting issues with smbd 
(now at released 2.2.6), config is with spoolss, 
domain logon, and the client in question is an 
NT4 machine. server is a i386/linux 2.2.19

For a very long time, we thought it was related 
to oplocks, but now after having them disabled, 
it still is there.

Level 3 Log is as follows:

[2002/10/22 17:08:18, 3] smbd/ipc.c:reply_trans(480)
  trans <\PIPE\> data=1224 params=0 setup=2

  Error writing 1264 bytes to client. -1. (Broken pipe)

And in the end, it will exit:

[2002/10/22 17:08:18, 3] smbd/server.c:exit_server(495)
  Server exit (send_trans_reply: send_smb failed.

Any ideas appreciated. And, yes, I will try to 
capture the event with Log Level 10.

This means the client disconnected from the server.

A debug level 10 probably wouldn't help, capture the
ethernet packets with ethereal and find out whether
it's the server or client sending a TCP FIN or RST
packet - that's who to pin the blame on.

In this log my guess would be it's the client that
is doing the FIN or RST - there's nothing that smbd
can do about it. If I'm correct, as to why the client
is doing this, I don't have a clue unfortunately. You
will have to wade into the oily pool of Windows :-) :-).

The client went away.  smbd will exit once the client goes away.
smbd is not crashing here.  Please verify that the network layer
is working correctly (hardware, drivers, etc...)

[Samba] repeatedly crashing smbd when printing: broken pipe

Jerry,
Jeremy,

Thanks for your hints on further tracking down 
the problem.

I did some tcpdump-ing. Not knowing TCP too well, 
I can only conclude the following: It really is 
the client that finishes, BUT it only does so 
after waiting for quite some time (timeout mechanism 
in windows?)

This is what the relevant lines from the tcpdump 
say (butterfly is the client, whale is the 2.2.6 samba 
server):

16:46:31.138352 butterfly.u-blox.ch.1353 > whale.u-blox.ch.netbios-ssn:

Any ideas? 

Best regards,

Daniel

Check your networking hardware ? I have seen poor quality hubs
cause problems like this on my own home network.
