To Whom this May Concern: I have installed samba on my RedHat 7.2 linux server. It works fine for a period but then it times out loosing the connection and locks out the server preventing further connection between the client and the server. To correct the problem I have to walk up to the server and hit the enter key. This frees the lockup and then I have to re-establish the connection closing down the client application and logging back in. Can you please help me! P.S. Can you email back to this address: tfneves@attbi.com Thanks, Tony Neves
Hi Tony, Doesn't sound like SAMBA if all you have to do to fix it is hit the enter key on your server. Sounds more like some sort of power save mode, either h/w or in Linux- I'm not familiar with RedHat, but you might want to check your pc bios settings to see if there is some default power save mode that it goes into if there is no keyboard activity within a certain period of time...

Yes. I know that there are settings in most newer BIOS's that will allow you to put your network card to sleep even. Some boxes come with this enabled by default!! This will appear as though everyone is locked out when the nic card is actually asleep. -Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neves, Tony" <Tony.Neves@bhs.org> To: <samba@samba.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 11:15 AM Subject: [Samba] Time Outs on Samba Server> To Whom this May Concern: > > I have installed samba on my RedHat 7.2 linux server.
