When you find out, let me know. :) It's been that way for ages on my
system. The two socket option messages are related to header related
problems, if I'm not mistaken, but it's really not a big deal. Do you
have either of those defined in smb.conf?

As far as the buffer thing... this concerned me for along time. I can't
remember whether this got any better or worse, but there's a lot wrong
with 3.0.7 on HP-UX. I would not run anything earlier than 3.0.14 on an
HP-UX system.
