Hello everybody, I have to face a problem here with a samba share disconnecting after about 10 minutes. Situation: - debian woody, samba 3.0.14a - server configured as PDC - typically 100-150 smbd processes running everything runs smoothly but one client (W2K SP4) that obviously needs a quasi static connection to the PDC. The client runs a software that stores regularly data on a dedicated share called aekta. The software logs a warning that it lost the connection to the server every 12 minutes. A few seconds later, the connection is reestablished and the software writes it's data as planned. There is no loss of data, but the warning messages fills up the logs of the software. As the scientists using the software need to read the logs for other purposes, they are quite annoyed about these warnings. I also already tried to set "deadtime = 60" to ensure a defines timeout, without success. Any suggestions? smb.conf (some share definitions cut): ; /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = MPI log level = 5 security = user map to guest = Bad Password guest account = nobody admin users = root,administrator netbios name = tux server string = Samba Fileserver add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c "Machine account for %u to use tux's NT-services." -g machines -d /dev/null -s /bin/false %u dos charset = CP850 unix charset = CP850 socket options = TCP_NODELAY veto files = /quota.user/ encrypt passwords = true obey pam restrictions = yes passdb backend = tdbsam guest unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . null passwords = no os level = 65 preferred master = yes name resolve order = lmhosts hosts wins bcast domain master = yes domain logons = yes local master= yes wins support = yes preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes logon script = logon.bat logon path = \\%L\%U\.profiledata logon home = \\%L\%U logon drive = y: log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog only = no [homes] comment = Home-directory writeable = yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 2700 inherit permissions = yes map archive = yes browseable = yes [netlogon] comment = Windows-logon-scripts path = /home/logon-script writeable = no create mask = 0604 directory mask = 0755 browseable = yes invalid users = nobody [aekta] comment = aekta path = /groups/aekta create mask = 0664 directory mask = 2777 force directory mode = 0775 browseable = yes valid users = @microbio write list = ogrundma aekta ogunderm read only = yes posix locking = no oplocks = no strict locking = no relevant log entries: 2005/09/22 12:28:49, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(886) switch message SMBtrans2 (pid 6739) conn 0x836fd38 [2005/09/22 12:28:49, 4] smbd/uid.c:change_to_user(194) change_to_user: Skipping user change - already user [2005/09/22 12:28:49, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(2418) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: TRANSACT2_QPATHINFO: level = 1004 [2005/09/22 12:28:49, 5] smbd/filename.c:unix_convert(108) unix_convert called on file "UNICORN/Server" [2005/09/22 12:28:49, 3] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(2452) call_trans2qfilepathinfo UNICORN/Server (fnum = -1) level=1004 call=5 total_data=0 [2005/09/22 12:28:49, 5] smbd/trans2.c:call_trans2qfilepathinfo(2596) SMB_QFBI - create: Tue Aug 23 13:30:54 2005 access: Thu Sep 22 09:11:16 2005 write: Tue Aug 23 13:30:54 2005 change: Tue Aug 23 13:30:54 2005 mode: 10 [2005/09/22 12:28:53, 3] smbd/process.c:timeout_processing(1334) timeout_processing: End of file from client (client has disconnected).
