Hello ! I've got a problem with Samba and my network I have a linux server with a Mandrake 7.2 Samba 2.0.7 and clients are Pc under Win98 Frequently my clients disconnet from my share ressource (about every 20 minutes) and we had to restart samba and zindows to solve the problem ( sometimes it doesn't work at all). In my smb.conf i have turned security as user, commented all the server options (local master, domain master) wins support is Yes. In log.smb I read : locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(667) Can't create or use IPC area. Error was Le fichier existe. locking/locking.c:locking_init(174) ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes I tried to proceed the DIAGNOSIS.txt and it failed at the test 3 (but sometimes it worked) smbclient -L zeus added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 (192.168.1.1) read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Relais bris? (pipe) session request to ZEUS failed (code 0) Could you help me please ! PS : sorry for my approximative English, it's not my native language. Alexandre
