samba - Sep 2004 - sendfile failed

Mates,

    I'm trying to learn a little more. I have 3.0.7 running on Mandrake 7.2.
I could see all the shares, but couldn't access the files "sendfile
failed".
I set use sendfile = No and all is well. I have a separate system Suse 9.0
pro with use sendfile = yes and I have no problems. What is the
difference???

Probably the kernel drivers. There are problems with sendfile in 2.4.20+ on 
some distros.
