Hi all... I am getting a whole lot of the following messages showing up in the "log.nmbd" file on my system. Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? I can't even find this message in the Samba source (1.9.17p2). Note that the Samba server is setup as a WINS server, domain master browser, with domain logons. "reply_netbios_packet: r_a not to be used when not a WINS server" These messages start shortly after nmbd is started, and eventually will fill up the log file to its 500KB limit. On a separate note, a much more serious problem has developed. A Samba system that has been running for well over 100 days since the last reboot - although it has been upgraded on-the-fly to 1.9.17p2, suddenly has started refusing user logons from Win95 clients, giving messages such as: "Password invalid or access to server denied" Several logon attempts are usually required before the Win95 clients can get on. Even MORE serious than this is the fact that the Samba server has suddenly started dropping active network connections to Win95 clients. The ONLY thing that changed recently on this network was the addition of a WinNT server. Nominally it was a domain controller on another domain, but it was on the same subnet. The NT box has been shutdown since this problem developed. The network card in the Samba server has also been replaced, and the system (Linux) restarted. I've even reverted from 1.9.17p2 to 1.9.17p1, but of course that made no difference. HELP! I've fallen and I can't get up! I am at a loss for now, and the longer this goes on, the more likely it is that someone (not me) will format the Samba server's disks and install NT! We don't want that to happen, now do we? Thanks! /--------------------------------------------------------\ | Jim Morris | PEI Electronics, Inc. | |-------------------------------| 110 Wynn Drive | | Wk: jmorris@cuda.chry-pei.com | P.O.
