samba - Jan 2004 - Samba ver 2.2.2 - socket read - WinXP

Jan. 21, 2004

Dear All, 

	I have enjoyed some success with Samba version 2.2.2.  I am using 
it to serve Micro$ Access to end users.  It works very well on a prior 
version of Unix, with older Win2k clients.  Now, with my current version, 
and Win XP Pro, I have problems.  Periodically, they get abruptly kicked out.
I get syslog errors which look like:

kforce-adm-# tail syslog
Jan  7 16:29:09 hforce smbd[29915]: [2004/01/07 16:29:09, 0]

Jan  7 16:38:43 hforce smbd[2706]:   read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error
= Connection timed out


And I get log.client entries that look like:
 
kforce-var-# tail log.hfuser6

kforce-var-#

Is it the WinXP/Access? or is the newer Unix having socket library issues.
My netstat -m output shows no failures. Connecton reset by peer makes me
think Access is the culprit.  The samba config is setup to have very public
folders and no samba passwords - a very fat security hole behind the firewall.
Pobody's nerfect. 8-).   Anyway,  I also saw some code changes related to 
read() versus recv().   I suspect this is not really a bad code issue, when 
I am seeing "connection reset by peer."   Rather, the code might not
work so
well with this version of the system libraries?

TIA,
