I have a level 10 debug of the smbd/oplock process_local_message problem but can still not figure out what causes the unknown UDP message command code. I checked the source but could only see that this is an invalid opcode command. Anyone a clue what is happening here ? Might wrong opcode commands crash samba ?

Since the customer didn't call again regarding these problems I had the opinion that everything is fine .... Today the customer called and mentioned that there are additional problems. He had fixed the nmbd problem everyday by rebooting .... Now the smbds also start to die. Again no pattern. No way to reproduce. But there were strange entries in the logs linux smbd[8311]: smbd/oplock.c process_local_message(418) linux smbd[8311]: process localmessage: unknown UDP message command code (e393) ignoring with different command codes i.e. 1e73, 2b94 and others. After some of these messages have arrived the smbd processes start to panic with internal errors. one after the other. I could locate the machine which is sending the UDP messages. And we will check what happens when that machine is down tomorrow. But anyway, does anyone has a clue what these unknown UDP message codes may be?
