Hi; I'heve got a strange problem with samba 3.0.4. It's configured as PDC, It functions joining a computer with w2k/XP to domain, logging-in, mapping disk. The problem appears by copying data to the mapped disk or to another resource of server. In windows the indicator or progress stays in one place, after same time a message appears "Network path can't be found" and in the logs there is a information: [2004/06/22 15:02:20, 3] smbd/dosmode.c:unix_mode(111) unix_mode(test4/ntuser.man) returning 0600 [2004/06/22 15:02:20, 3] smbd/open.c:open_file(173) Error opening file test4/ntuser.man (No such file or directory) (local_flags=0) (flags=0) [2004/06/22 15:02:20, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(94) error string = No such file or directory [2004/06/22 15:02:20, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(118) error packet at smbd/trans2.c(2219) cmd=162 (SMBntcreateX) NT_STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND Similary, during logging-out of the user from the domain. Unfortunately, I coundn't it manage it even using the search machine "google". I don't have any idea how to change config file to be good. For sure the problem isn't found i network infastructure ora my operating system - slackware 9.1. I've checked it many times.
