Hi, I am a newbie to this list and to Samba, and have a concern about my Samba servers. I am getting a number of messages on the consoles of both my Samba servers, it reads "smb-retry: signal failed, error=-3" Can someone please explain this to me? Also, is there a list of error codes for Samba? Regards Enrico Payne IT Manager - Pharma Natura http://www.pharma.co.za mailto:enricop@pharma.co.za

This error is caused by smbfs trying to reconnect to the server and smbmount not responding. Probably because it has crashed. What version of samba does your smbmount come from and what linux kernel version are you running? The only problem with smbmount in samba 2.0.7 I know of is that if the server terminates and the client accesses the share while the server is down smbmount will terminate. I have a patch for that somewhere (but I don't have the URL handy right now). When you mount smbfs the smbmount program (mount.smbfs) is the one responsible for opening the connection to the server. If that connection needs to be opened again smbfs tries to signal smbmount, if it fails the mountpoint will be dead and you have to 'umount' it manually. /Urban
Chaps, Could you possibly send me or alternatively direct me to a description of the bracketed error code numbers in the Samba log files as I have a nagging series of problems I am attempting to troubleshoot. We are running Samba 2.2.0 on Alpha 1200 h/w and Tru64 v.4.0D Many thanks in anticipation.
