samba - Mar 2007 - samba errors when using windows xp home edition

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me with the following problem:

I administer 2 separate networks, each with one samba server  (samba versions 
are 3.0.14 and 3.0.22) and serveral windows xp professional clients. There 
were never any problems, but recently one of the employees bought a laptop 
with windows xp home that he wants to use in both networks. He does not log 
on to the domain like other employees but only accesses  the shares. He 
complains that office hangs when he is working on an excel sheet that's on 
the server. I also noticed some errors in te logson both servers, for 
example:

libsmb/cliconnect.c:cli_connect(1330) ?Error connecting to 192.168.2.236 
(Operation already in progress) : 1 Time(s)

Or

?lib/util_sock.c:write_data(557) ?write_data: write failure in writing to 
client 192.168.2.236. Error Broken pipe : 1 Time(s)

Can this have something to do with XP home or not logging onto the domain? I 

Thanks, regards Chantal

Hi Chantal,

I don't know what is the real problem you face, but here in my office, we
don't have such problems  with users using Win XP HE. All I do is join their
machine into the PDC (with smbldap-useradd -w; since I use ldap as the
backend) then add their username and smbpassword into the PDC. The username
and smbpassword should be the same as their local one. Other way, samba will
ask them to login every time they start to browse the samba share. Good
luck.

PS. I use samba-3.0.20b-3.3 on OpenSuSE.

Regards,

sato
