I'm having a similar problem to Pavlos. My log files are getting the same
errors and I can not browse network neighborhood or access the samba server.
I read from an earlier list message that the open files error:
][2001/03/20 11:51:31, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(216)
] file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014
can be resolved by setting your max open files in smb.conf, but the
documentation says that you should almost never have to set that. Setting it
got rid of the error, but the problem of not seeing the samba server (or
anything in network neighborhood) still occurs.
I did notice that this problem occured after I created a share, but after
removing the share and restarting samba, it still required a reboot of the
client machine for network neighborhood to show up again.
I've seen other mentions of the error
][2001/03/20 11:34:38, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(754)
] Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. Exiting
in the list before but I haven't seen anyone address the problem.
My smb.conf is at the end of the document (below the quote of Pavlos)
