Hello List. I have a problem with Samba 2.2.8a and a Win-Add that collects and calculates data using Turbo-DB SQL. In case two Win2K Clients are doing the same process it sometimes stopps executing (it hangs), so that the clients just can be reseted. After turning the log-level to 4 there ist the following piece loged: snipp - - - - [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 3] smbd/process.c:process_smb(846) Transaction 71087 of length 39 [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(685) switch message SMBtdis (pid 13690) [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(329) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(329) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(677) o10604gb1 (10.51.11.236) closed connection to service w-lohn [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 3] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(48) Yielding connection to w-lohn [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 3] smbd/sec_ctx.c:set_sec_ctx(329) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 [2004/02/06 12:16:19, 3] smbd/vfs.c:vfs_ChDir(574) vfs_ChDir to / snapp - - - - Here is my smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TEST encrypt passwords = Yes map to guest = Bad User null passwords = Yes keepalive = 10 logon script = login.bat domain logons = Yes os level = 256 socket options = TCP_NODELAY preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes local master = Yes security = user wins support = Yes kernel oplocks = yes time server = Yes log level = 4 printing = CUPS printcap name = /etc/printcap add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /dev/false -M %u character set = ISO8859-1 client code page = 850 level2 oplocks = no [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /data/stb/logon writeable = Yes [homes] comment = Heimatverzeichnis writeable = Yes browseable = No [w-lohn] path = /data/w-lohn writeable = Yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 oplocks = no admin users = +lohn # END of /etc/smb.conf Why does the Client close the connection?
