I've got these logs at level 2 using samba 2.2.3a (installed from samba.org rpms ) under linux (kernel 2.4.17) here is the earliest instance of trouble I can find [2002/03/17 04:01:00, 2] smbd/process.c:timeout_processing(1113) Closing idle connection [2002/03/17 04:01:00, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(458) Closing connections [2002/03/17 04:31:01, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475) tdb(/var/cache/samba/connections.tdb): rec_read bad magic 0x42424242 at offset=16196 [2002/03/17 04:31:01, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475) tdb(/var/cache/samba/connections.tdb): rec_read bad magic 0x42424242 at offset=16196 [2002/03/17 04:31:01, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(319) Allowed connection from (132.177.44.99) [2002/03/17 04:31:01, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475) I didn't hear about any problems until about 2pm on the 18th with a report of an inability to install a printer driver and the rate of error messages in the logs increased from there I restarted samba at about 3:30 and haven't seen any errors since have I misconfigured something? brad
