I recently upgraded my Linux install (Debian potato to woody) and now Samba is no longer playing nice with Windows 2000. I can use smbclient on the samba machine to connect to itself, so at least that's working. The error from Windows is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired.". I deleted the smb.log file at one point in an effort to reset it. I figured it'd be created again but I haven't seen it ... This is even after removing and re-installing Samba. How do I get this back? There are files in /var/log/samba, though, for smbd and nmbd.log. The file log.smbd contains these errors which might be related to the problem: [2001/11/28 10:41:03, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(478) read_socket_data: recv failure for 4.

Error = Connection reset by peer I did a Web search for this problem and came across several posts from folks who have experienced the same problem, but only one solution. I'm a bit hesitant to implement that solution because it involves changing the source code. I'm not even sure the source file is part of samba (in fact, the file isn't on my system). The fix is documented at: http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cxh/sapub/samba.html so if anyone has an opinion on it I'd like to hear it! Ideally, though, there's a solution that doesn't involve changing code. Any suggestions? Thanks! Jen
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I've been trying everything I can think of but I can get no further ... Thanks!

If my memory is correct, I got this message awhile back (others have seen this message also). I had changed from Win95 (which was working) to Win2000, Samba stopped working and I got your message. I had to add: encrypt passwords = yes to smb.conf and then also run: smbpasswd... on my Unix machine, then set up the same username and password on my Unix machine and my Win2000 machine. I still can't get it to work for both the Win95 and Win2000 machines at the same time... Brian W.
