Hi, I installed Samba 3.0.22 succesfully on a Solaris 2.9 system (SUN Blade 2000 - hmacs). Then I installed it on another Solaris 2.9 system (SUN Fire V880 - fenix). The smb.conf file on both machines is very simple and virtually the same. (see below) I performed the tests /usr/local/samba/bin/testparm /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf normal results on 1st and 2nd machine /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L hmacs.cmi.ua.ac.be OK on first machine /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient -L fenix.cmi.ua.ac.be (on second machine) read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by peer. tree connect failed: Read error: Connection reset by peer /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //hmacs/pdon OK on first machine, I see the directory pdon on the hmacs machine /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient //fenix/pdon (on second machine) tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF) read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by peer. tree connect failed: Read error: Connection reset by peer The only difference between the two smb.conf files is in: workgroup (WISINF versus PCLAB) hosts allow (subnets 75 and 77 versus 75 and 78). I still can work without problem on the second machine with the older Samba 2.2.9 with that same smb.conf file (without the encrypt passwords = no line for 2.2.9 version which is needed in 3.0.22) What can be wrong ? Thanks in advance for any hints.
