samba - Sep 1999 - Need Help with IRIX Error

Hello All,

	I am having a problem configuring Samba on IRIX ver. 6.5.  Any help or RTFM 
pointers would be sincerely appreciated.  I am getting the following error 
with test 3 in DIAGNOSIS.txt (smbclient -L hostname):

read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by peer.
session request to *SMBSERVER failed.

	With log level set to 10 I get the following error in log.smb:

[1999/09/16 09:50:52, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(216)

	My smb.conf follows.  I took out the IP addresses so to protect the innocent.

[global]

workgroup = Adv_Sim_Center
server string = Samba Server
load printers = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
printing = bsd
max log size = 50
security = share
wins server = (Correct IP address of WINS Server, I checked)
encrypt passwords = yes
debug level = 3
#socket options = TCP_NODELAY 
local master = no
os level = 33
interfaces = (Correct IP is here, I checked)/255.255.0.0
domain master = no
preferred master = no
wins support = no
wins proxy = yes
name resolve order = wins dns hosts

#========== Share Definitions =========[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   browseable = yes
   writable = yes

[printers]
   comment = All Printers
   path = /usr/spool/samba
   browseable = no
   printable = yes

[tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space
   path = /tmp
   read only = no
   public = yes

TIA

It sounds like you may have a corrupted shared memory segment. Try 
running smbstatus to see the size of the shared memory segment used
by samba (usually the last line of the output). Then run "ipcs -b'
and look for a segment owned by root that is close to that size.

Stop samba, use ipcrm to remove the segment (and maybe the semaphore
that has a key close to the key of the shared memory segment), then
restart samba.

For example on my system.

# /etc/init.d/samba stop
# smbstatus
  .
  .
  .
Share mode memory usage (bytes):
   1048464(99%) free + 56(0%) used + 56(0%) overhead = 1048576(100%)
total

# ipcs -b
IPC status from /dev/kmem as of Thu Sep 16 13:40:18 1999
T     ID     KEY        MODE       OWNER    GROUP QBYTES
Message Queues:
T     ID     KEY        MODE       OWNER    GROUP  SEGSZ
Shared Memory:
m    200 0x00280267 --rw-r--r--     root      sys 1048576
T     ID     KEY        MODE       OWNER    GROUP NSEMS
Semaphores:
s     10 0x00280269 --ra-ra-ra-     root      sys    14

(I only have one segment but look at SEGSZ to determine size of
segment).

# ipcrm -m 200
# ipcrm -s 10
# /etc/init.d/samba start


Hope this helps.

Thanks Herb,

	I'm really close, but I still have the same problem.  I removed the two
shared memory segments and semaphores, then rebooted.  The same two shared
memory segments returned.  I suspect they belong to some process initiated
at boot time.  The error I get from smbd is:

[1999/09/16 09:50:52, 2] smbd/server.c:open_sockets(183)
  waiting for a connection
[1999/09/16 09:57:08, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(590)

[1999/09/16 09:57:08, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174)

>From smbstatus I get:
ERROR semctl: can't IPC_STAT. Error was bad address
ERROR semctl: can't IPC_STAT. Error was bad address
ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes

Any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
