samba - Apr 2004 - 3454 Abends when transferring files to Mapped Samba Drive

Hi,

We have a Windows 2000 Server setup to be our FTP server.  On the FTP
server we have created a MAPPED drive for a AIX 5.1 server using SAMBA..
We are trying to take files from the mainframe (Z/os)  to the SAMBA (AIX
5.1) mapped drive on Windows 2000 server.

We get a 3454 abend when we submit a FTP job, but if we submit the job
immediately after the primary 3454 abend the FTP works OK.  In fact we
could submit the FTP job 100 times one right after the other and they would
all work.  But as soon as we leave the drive idle for 10 or 15 minutes we
will get a 3454 abend on the next FTP job.

Any help would be appreciated.  I need a direction to go.

Thanks
Debbie Reed
