Hello everyone I have samba 3.0.3pre2-SuSE running on SuSE 9.0 i386, this is from SuSE rpms not source. The box is joined to a 2k3 domain, wbinfo works fine, acls work and users are authenticated properly. I had a problem yesterday and cannot seem to find a solution: I have been copying data across from the old SBS server, this seems to work fine for about 5 minutes, then completely crashes

Hello Hamish. I found your message just googling for Suse and sk98lin. Did you solve your problem? I had the same case and only way to restore was to change NIS driver speed settings from AUTO to 10Mb. And it was not related to OS as the same problem is in WXP ( I have dual boot, ASUS P4P800, integrated GB NIS ). Oleg.

UPDATE: We found out that there was still an entry in /etc/rc.local to start up the old SAMBA after upgrading and setting up to run from inetd.conf. Once the /etc/rc.local entry was removed, we no longer receive the "semaphore timeout period has expired" messages and we are able to connect to the shares.

Tom, Did you resolve your problem: Question: is this a Samba configuration error or a Win2K configuration error. The 98 and ME connect just fine to SAMBA. If so, what was the answer? Thank you, Jim Majczek

Hi. We are running Solaris 2.6, Samba 2.0.0. NT workstations can connect to all samba shares, but W2K workstations can't. Some users get "Semaphore Timeout Period has expired", some get "Network name not found". The NT and W2K users login to the same NT domain. There is a WINS entry matching the Unix server hostname. Any ideas? Thank you. -Anoosh Here is smb.conf

I am running Debian 'woody' with Samba 3.0.2 and am having a sparatic problem on my network. Some users will suddenly lose their connections to the samba shares and when trying to log in to the system again will get an error that windows cannot locate their roaming profile - "Semaphore time period has expired". It seems that if they wait for about 15 minutes they can then

[.. most data for the archives ..] I've got several windows 2000 machines and a samba 2.2.12 on solaris 7. for years only one of the windows machines has ever needed to connect to the samba server. just a couple of days ago, it was necessary for a second machine to connect to the samba server. Whenever the second machine tried to load the network share, windows came back with its "The

Hi team, I use Samba 4.3.12 as a printserver with ~900 printers, and it takes about 20 seconds for rpcclient enumprinters command to finish. However, sometimes it gets stuck and returns WERR_SEM_TIMEOUT for no apparent reason, and this timeout always takes exactly 12 seconds. I was thinking maybe there is a hardcoded timeout somewhere that is shorter than expected 20 sec time for returning my

Hello, I am fighting an error I get when I try to compile Samba in IRIX. While checking the archives I noticed references to the same errors I was getting. In the last two weeks I have seen the error appear twice on two more OS'es; AIX and Digital Unix, and now today someone is having the same error on a DG/UX box: [1999/10/07 11:49:44, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(597) ERROR:

I have had samba running on my freebsd box for about 2 years now, and my / partition is 50MB (it is just a fileserver with ssh and nothing more). However, recently (about a month or two ago) it disconnects itself from my LAN with warnings like: semaphore timeout has expired. I go to the console on the box and it says that the disk is full (its not, but the root directory is at 101%) I cannot
