This is probably a frequent problem, but I haven't been able to find an
answer.
I recently installed samba 2.0.5a on Sun Solaris 2.6 server. There is only
one share on the server that I want to be accessible. I have set up the
share using the following smb.conf file: (obviously, the specific info has
been changed).
[global]
netbios name = XXX
#Server has different name
guest account = guest
browseable = yes
announce as = NT
workgroup = XXX
security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = PDC BDC1 BDC2 #not actual
machine names
hosts allow = localhost, XXX.XXX.XXX.0/255.255.252.0,
XXX.XXX.XXX.0/255.255.252.0 #network segments that attach to this server
wins server = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
browse list = yes
deadtime = 15
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 0
domain logons = no
follow symlinks = yes
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/smblog
server string = Server Description
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
log level = 2
[sharename]
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
path = /path/to/data
writeable = no
browseable = yes
This setup works fine for what we need, which is read-only access to the
share "sharename". However, over the weekend, the machine samba is
installed on made a total of four identical errors on each of the following
machines: PDC, BDC1 and BDC2. The error message, as taken from Windows NT
Event Viewer:
Event ID: 2006
Source: Srv
Type: Error
Category: None
Description: The server received an incorrectly formatted request from
\\Samba_Server.
Any help or direction would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
