[Samba] Error messages every 32min after Win2k security update
I'm running Samba 3.0.10 from Debian Sarge (3.0.10-1). Samba is configured as the primary browse master for the network, and there are two windows boxes that access shares from the samba box, one win2k and the other XP Pro. Earlier this week, I installed a number of patches to the win2k box via windows update. I'm having trouble finding out exactly what patches were installed, but there are a stack of .log files with identical timestamps in my WINNT directory that might be the complete list: KB873339.log imsins.log KB885836.log comsetup.log iis5.log KB885835.log ocgen.log ockodak.log Ever since I installed those patches, I've been getting periodic errors in my samba logs. They occur every 32 minutes, but only when the Win2k machine is on: Jan 1 14:06:17 pyloric smbd[25844]: [2005/01/01 14:06:17, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1000) Jan 1 14:06:17 pyloric smbd[25844]: getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected Jan 1 14:06:17 pyloric smbd[25844]: [2005/01/01 14:06:17, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(384) Jan 1 14:06:17 pyloric smbd[25844]: read_socket_data: recv failure for 4. Error = Connection reset by peer I've googled for these error messages, and found a bunch of cases where people have them showing up quite frequently, and causing performance problems, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I was able to trigger the same messages once on accessing a share from the win2k machine, but it didn't feel like my performance was impacted at all. One of the hits I found suggested that "use sendfile" might be causing this, but that's defaulting to off already in my install, so it's not the problem. Any idea what could be causing this, or what I could do to fix it? Thanks in advance, - Marc

[Samba] Re: Error messages every 32min after Win2k security update
Typically connection resets are a hardware based problem - LAN cable first, the NIC or hub/switch. I just happen to use Debian Sarge here, and have a PDC running that level of Samba, AND Win2K SP4 where I just got around to those M$ hot fixes. Just for you I'll pull a few hundred MB over the wire after clearing out all of the Samba logs and see that things looks clean here. None of the Win2K patches "seemed" to be the TCP/IP stack, thus I'll have to bet M$ is probably in the clear on this one and you just have HW issues of some sort. -- Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems Remove the upper case letters NOSPAM to contact me directly.
