Hello, I have a serious problem in Samba 3.0.0 which was not in Samba 2.2.x ! After a few hours running the nmbd is shutting down: Log is as follows: ---snipp--- [2003/10/26 05:00:48, 2] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:sync_with_dmb(151) sync_with_dmb: Initiating sync with domain master browser DS9<20> at IP 192.168.0.1 for workgroup NCC1701 [2003/10/26 05:01:08, 3] nmbd/nmbd_serverlistdb.c:write_browse_list(421) write_browse_list: Wrote browse list into file /var/cache/samba/browse.dat [2003/10/26 05:02:38, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(79) added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0 [2003/10/26 05:02:38, 2] lib/interface.c:interpret_interface(128) can't determine netmask for 192.168.0.0 [2003/10/26 05:02:38, 2] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(220) reload_interfaces: Ignoring loopback interface 127.0.0.1 [2003/10/26 05:02:38, 2] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(254) Deleting dead interface 192.168.0.1 [2003/10/26 05:02:38, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:reload_interfaces(263) reload_interfaces: No subnets to listen to. Shutting down... ---snipp--- At this time the Samba-Server is the only server on the subnet. If a PC is online and there is traffic on the net this does not happen. It seens to me that this must be a bug, because I dont think that nmbd shut shut down only because of no traffic. Also this behaviour does not happen in Samba 2.2.x - only since I upgraded to Samba 3.0.0 I am currently using Debian/testing Package Samba-3.0.0-final1 Can anybody help, or perhaps a Samab Developer clarify the situation ? I habe a cron job - restarting Samba every 60 minutes, but I think this would not be the best solution :-/ Thanks in advance, Bernd
