samba - Jan 2003 - request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request

Hello,

I've been running samba 2.0.7 for a couple years now on a DEC alpha with 
Tru64 4.0D. I't pertty much a default smb.conf as far as oplocks & that 
sort of stuff.

Anyway, the other day some users started having troubles with saving 
ms-word files. The smbd processes have always been running as root. But 
now the users with the problem own their smbd process. And they get 
errors like such in the log file:

   for dev = 8100000, inode = 17169, tv_sec = 3e22d418, tv_usec = 931fe
[2003/01/13 12:46:27, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(1204)
   request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to 
pid 5755 on port 1450 for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022
   for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022, tv_sec = 3e22dc57, tv_usec = d9670
[2003/01/13 12:46:30, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(1204)
   request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to 
pid 4265 on port 1395 for dev = 8100000, inode = 17312
   for dev = 8100000, inode = 17312, tv_sec = 3e22d418, tv_usec = 887d2
[2003/01/13 12:46:30, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(1204)
   request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to 
pid 5755 on port 1450 for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022
   for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022, tv_sec = 3e22dc57, tv_usec = d9670


It seems since some of the smbd processes is owned by root, the process 
owned by the users cannot control the root owned process. Is this a 
correct assumption? How or why would it start doing this? And the user 
will have several smbd processes started in their name. Seems to be only 
NT4 clients, although I've not verified that yet.

The only recent change I made was the IP address of the server. The 
client have had their new IPs for some time now. I'm not tying samba to 
any specific interface or IP.

ANy clues as to how to fix this?


Thanks

Nope, this has nothing to do with user owned processes.  What this does,
mean, however, is that the users are trying to share the files with
multiple computers with oplocks enabled.  You should search this mailing
list archive for discussions ad-nauseum about oplocks.
