I'm running samba 2.0.7 on a Mandrake 7.1 system (with their secure 2.2.16-9 kernel). It's working very well, except for my Windows ME users. They can login exactly once (we're using the Samba server as a PDC for all the Win9x users). If they login again, I get this error in log.smb: [2000/10/02 09:22:13, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(667) Can't create or use IPC area. Error was File exists [2000/10/02 09:22:13, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174) ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes I can solve the problem by restarting the Samba daemon, but as you can imagine I don't want to do this for every 2nd login they make. Does anyone have some insight? --Chris P.S.: Please find attached the output of "testparm".

Mandrake is known for using kernels which are patched with all sorts of stuff, and are far from standard. I suggest you try compiling a kernel from the official source tree, and see if the problem persists when running under that. HTH Mike.
