I'm running a fairly simple samba server on a sun V440, solaris 9 Samba version: 3.0.10 smbd daemon only In the server logs I'm getting: write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 5: ERRNO = Broken pipe Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Broken pipe) setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0 Closing connections Yielding connection to Server exit (process_smb: send_smb failed.) timeout_processing: End of file from client (client has disconnected). The XP Pro clients report few problems (other than occasional performance) Wondering if these error messages are an issue and how I might correct them Here is my smb.conf file: # Samba config file # Date: Mon Oct 24 09:47:54 PDT 2005 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = HANFORD server string = rlp3ep Samba Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes min passwd length = 6 passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n username level = 1 unix password sync = Yes log level = 3 syslog = 2 log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 2000 name resolve order = host deadtime = 15 local master = No [homes] comment = rlp3ep User's home directories read only = No browseable = No [LCBaseline] comment = P3e Lifecycle Baseline path = /h/lcb username = lcb valid users = lcb read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 [ContractIGE] comment = P3e Contract Independent Government Estimates path = /h/cige username = cige valid users = cige read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 [ConvertHTM] comment = P3e to HTM file conversion path = /h/htmc username = htmc valid users = htmc read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 [IPC$] hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 Thanks, Greg
