G'day,
Brief LAN Layout:
We have 2 vlans, 1 has WinNT 4 sp6a running as the PDC, there are 2
Slackware 7.1, 2.2.19 kernel, boxes, running samba 2.2.0, which both are
on the 2 vlans. One linux box is the PDC for it's vlan.
Both linux boxes run 2 copies of samba together, though the problem
of smbd dieing was there when only 1 samba copy was running on each box.
Cients are Win9x, with a few WinME.
Problem 1:
Inetrmittantly smbd daemon dies, clients can't logon, but those who
already are logged on continue to work, start samba again and okay for a
while. Unfortunately the number of clients have suddenly grown & the
problem
with it.
Got miles of logs, but don't know what is relevant to this problem, but
they are sitting at <http://www.ncc.qld.edu.au/samba> Some hints to what
I should look for & I'll prune them down.
Problem 2:
Intermittantly the user is un-able to save the file he has already opened
in MS-whatever from his/her home directory, & can only save by re-naming the
file. The only log I got was him trying to log back in & trying to open
the files, the older log was already deleted.
