Dear List, I wonder if somebody has a correctly working SMB service in Mac OS X Server 10.5.x. I've got here lots of "This process has forked.." and "Broken Pipe" errors as described in this post: http://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=22295 Would be nice if a Samba-guru could point us to the right direction. Thanks, Alex

The corresponding patch is available from http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5.6/samba-187.8/patches/auth-module-open-directory but has not been submitted by Apple for upstream Samba. In fact, it carries a Copyright (C) 2003-2007 Apple Inc. All Rights Reserved. which to me seems quite interesting for GPL code :-) Please contact your Apple support for help with this issue.

I've got here lots of "This process has forked.."This is because a call to the Security framework touches a part of CoreFoundation that is unhappy that Samba forks without a subsequent exec. It's annoying but harmless.> and "Broken Pipe" > errors as described in this post: > http://www.afp548.com/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=22295Not really enough info to say what is happening here. the broken pipe means that the client disconnected unexpectedly, but it's not clear why. As some of the posters in that thread note, there is a bug in the streams module where we return an error for reads after the end-of-file (we ought to succeed but return no data).> > Would be nice if a Samba-guru could point us to the right direction.Volker's suggestion to file a Radar with Apple is spot on. -- James Peach | jorgar@gmail.com
