Hi all, Firstly (the carrot :-) I wish to thank all the Samba team for an excellent product, we have been using Samba as our interconnect between PCs and Solaris for some time and have been very impressed with the quality of the software. I have just upgraded from 1.9.18p2 to 1.9.18p3 and am now seeing some error messages in the Samba log files which I have not seen before. Our system is an Ultra 1 running Solaris 2.5.1 with the recommended patche set in the patch cluster dated 13-10-97. Samba was built using gcc version 2.7.2.3 with VTP support enabled and the optimisation flag set to -O2. The value of MAX_OPEN_FILES in local.h was also raised to 16384. I have attached our smb.conf confguration file. 1) Problem 1 ------------ In log.smb.smb I am seeing the following message: Can't create or use IPC area which seems to be generated for each connected that is made to the Samba server. Having looked at the sources (in shmem_sysv.c) it seems that an shmget is failing with a reason code of EEXIST, which according to the man page for shmget indicates that the key (passed to shmget) is already in use. The output of ipcs -a is as follows: IPC status from <running system> as of Fri Feb 20 12:13:54 1998 Message Queue facility not in system. T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP NATTCH SEGSZ CPID LPID ATIME DTIME CTIME Shared Memory: m 100 0x00280267 --rw-r--r-- root root root root 1 922336 20705 20705 12:09:50 no-entry 12:09:50 T ID KEY MODE OWNER GROUP CREATOR CGROUP NSEMS OTIME CTIME Semaphores: s 65536 0x00280269 --ra-ra-ra- root root root root 24 12:11:46 12:11:46 I notice that in the man pages for shmctl that shmctl is not called anywhere with the command IPC_RMID, could this be related since there is the following note in the man page for shmctl: NOTES The user must explicitly remove shared memory segments after the last reference to them has been removed. 2) Problem 2 ------------ In log.nmb I am seeing the following message repeated a number of times: validate_nmb_response_packet: Bad REG/REFRESH Packet. Ignoring response packet with opcode 8. What does this message mean ? My suspicion is that it is related to some log messages we are seeing in our CLearCase log file on our NT machine (NT 4.0 SP2) but I cannot be sure. Thanks in advance for any illumination on these problems. Cheers, Antony. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antony King (SGS-THOMSON) CLASS (Cagliari Laboratory of Advanced Software and Systems) TECHSO S.p.A, Area Industriale Est, Prolungamento Via Igola, 09122 Cagliari-Elmas.
