FYI: We're getting a very intermittent samba error and I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this - and if so what they did to correct it. We use samba for Clearcase access, and have it configured to use the smbpasswd file for authentication (we were using the PDC for authentication, but switched to the smbpasswd file to get rid of annoying connection delays ...). Recently, we've started seeing the following errors show up in one of the log files: [2000/04/03 06:04:06, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:startsmbfilepwent(50) startsmbfilepwent: unable to open file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd [2000/04/03 06:04:06, 0] passdb/passdb.c:iterate_getsmbpwnam(149) unable to open smb password database. [2000/04/03 06:04:06, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(505) Couldn't find user 'clearcase_albd' in smb_passwd file. This happens a dozen times or so, and then ... goes away. Does anyone have any clues as to what might be making the smbpasswd file `unavailable' for short periods? Thanks Ozzie, -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
