Hi, My nmbd daemon is dying with an internal error periodically. Samba version is 2.2.7a (I think the latest stable) but I've tried with the Samba package that came with my Linux distro (a Debian Woody) and it failed with the same messages too. Here goes the log.nmbd file: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netbios nameserver version 2.2.7a started.

The server has no load because it's from a university and on fridays nobody uses it. My /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf file is this: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- [global] workgroup = DEPFIS domain master = yes os level = 65 server string = Servidor DFA encrypt passwords = Yes security = server password server = BETELGEUSE username map = /etc/smbusers netbios name = fis-linux log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 load printers = No dns proxy = No create mask = 0665 wins server = 158.42.9.1 wins proxy = yes include = /etc/dfa.smb.conf [homes] comment = Directorio ra?z de usuario valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0755 browseable = No [raiz_web$] comment = Raiz del servidor Web path = /usr/local/apache/htdocs valid users = webmaster,jribelles,rusaes force user = webmaster force group = dfa read only = No [asignaturas$] comment = Raiz del directorio de asignaturas path = /usr/local/apache/htdocs/asignaturas valid users = rusaes,jmas force user = webmaster force group = dfa read only = No [jornadas$] comment = Raiz del directorio de trabajos de las jornadas path = /home/adm/jornadas valid users = rusaes,jmas force user = webmaster force group = dfa read only = No [home_users$] comment = Raiz del directorio de usuarios path = /home valid users = pabmara read only = Yes ... and other shares here ... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've tested it with testparm and it says that it's correct. smbd works without trouble. BETELGEUSE (authentification server) works ok. Before upgrading the system we had a Red Hat 6.2 with Samba 2.0.x and it worked with exactlly the same configuration and without troubles. If you need more details just say it. Thanks for your efforts. Best regards, -- Pablo.
