I have been running RedHat 5.2 and Samba 2.0.3 for the past week or so. My
network is made up of NT servers and 95/98 clients. So far Samba has been
running beautifully - I can use my Samba shares just like they are NT shares.
My only problem is from time to time my Win98 machine "goes to sleep"
and
asks me for either a password or an IPC$ password. Generally this happens
after a period of inactivity such as overnight. In addition my NT domain
account gets locked out when this happens. Other users can still connect to
the Samba server but I cannot until I reactivate my NT account and remove my
Linux box from the domain and add it back in. This has happened three times
in the last week, not a really big deal, but very strange...can anyone clue
me in to how I can resolve this issue. I've included portions of my smb.conf
file and the log file for my machine (cop219) for reference...the log file is
more interesting - I imagine this is largely an NT issue.
As always thank you in advance
