samba - Dec 1999 - samba2.0.6 write errors

Hi Folks,

I am running Samba 2.0.6 on Solaris 2.6 and I have a bunch
of write errors showing up in my log.smb file. Here are some of them:
----------------------------------------------

[1999/12/16 14:25:42, 1] lib/util_sock.c:client_name(997)
  Gethostbyaddr failed for 10.41.0.184
[1999/12/16 14:25:42, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(537)
  write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe
[1999/12/16 14:25:42, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(563)
  write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 7: ERRNO = Broken pipe
[1999/12/16 14:25:42, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(751)
  Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. Exiting
------------------------------------------------
My questions are:
- Is something broken in my samba?
- Why is Gethostbyaddr failing? Is this causing other errors?

Except for the above errors everything seems to be working. I can connect
to
all my defined shares. Please let me know if you need more information.


Thank you,

Hallo,

We can see the same kind of Error Logs (the write errors) with
samba-2.0.5a on our Solaris-Server.
This kind of message ist produced every night at 3:00 am, when we reboot
our WinCenter Servers
and we too would like to know if these write failures can be problem.
I think we do not have the 'Gethostbyaddr failed' errors.
