Should I be concerned about getting the [1998/12/18 07:15:07, 0] lib/doscalls.c:dos_GetWd(405) Very strange, couldn't stat "." error in the logs? I've noticed that it is occuring in some of the log files for users and not in others. I've looked in the source as to where this is occuring and added a path=%s\n",path to the DEBUG line to maybe see which UNIX directory

I'm using samba 2.1 pre-alpha. When I right click an .exe file on the most shares, explorer freezes, and must be killed to recover. The problem doesn't show up on the home shares, but appears on any other shares I create. I've experienced this problem on many different workstations. Looking at the logs, it seems to be a problem with oplocks; the part of the log that seems to apply is

We recently tried the upgrade to 2.0 Beta series (just finished testing Beta 4) on our network. Everything works fine with 1.9.18pl10, but once we start 2.0 in its place we start getting the following in the log files: [1998/12/17 05:00:12, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(219) file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 246 are available.

FYI: I'm using samba 2.0.6 for clearcase interoperation between Unix and NT, and while it works great 99% of the time, I run into a problem whenever I do a complete build on an NT system, which involves compiling ~1500 files. The first 1100 or so are compiled correctly, but then the following errors show up on the NT box: The system cannot open the device or file specified. And the

Hi.

Hi, I've just installed Samba 2.0.3 and now I'm getting following error: PAM_pwdb[306]: 1 authentication failure; (uid=0) -> andreas for samba service I can connect to all shares and printers, but get the error. I suppose it has something to do with the passwords (I'm trying to sync Samba and Linux passwords). Any ideas? /Andreas

After upgrading from 2.0.10a to 2.2.4, I'm seeing many new messages being logged. What does this mean?

Hi, We are having connection timeout issues in Excel and Word. Was this an issue that was resolved in post 3.0 versions? We are running 2.2.8a. Below is the samba log file and I have attached a netmon output.

Hello, Although I've been using samba for years at my customers office, I recently moved one on a HP E60 server running RedHat 6.2. The samba version is 2.0.6, untouched from the distribution. They use a (weird) accounting software built on the top of FoxPro, requiring a *huge* amount of open files. I accordingly raised the values for files-nr and inode-nr and the stats seem ok. They have

Hello everybody, I have 2 questions about Samba operation: First, hostnames don't work in my "hosts allow" directive, although smb.conf(5) explicitly says "You can specify the hosts by name or IP number". If I specify a client by its name, that client is not allowed access, even though the server can do reverse DNS on the client's IP. The message I get in the

Hi, I use samba for 5 years in a small enterprise network. We have recently changed our windows client and migrate from windows 95 to windows XP :-). Samba is running on a debian woody. Since we are using windows XP home edition I can see the following log messages : [2004/04/02 15:27:50, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(758) oplock_break: receive_smb error (Success) oplock_break failed for

Hi! Been having the same problem with oplocks for a while and have been trying to figure out what's going wrong. The FAQ says that we may have a networking (hardware?) problem, but according to the Linux box's ifconfig results, we have had no errors and no dropped packets on the internal network. I am able to reproduce the error pretty much at will on our network, and it is not isolated

I've used oplocks = no for a long time now, because of the famous "oplock_break" error, but I decided to give 2.0.7 a try. I still get "oplock break" errors as before, but this time I got a new error too: [2000/05/02 10:04:52, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(976) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file XXXXX/xxxxxx/mailbox.pst

We're using CentOS samba for about 20 workstations, mostly XP, some 2000 and two win98. Samba shares a data directory with Word, Excel and Access documents/db's. Also Exact for Dos is running from this share (executable and data). The users experience a long delay every morning opening the first Word document (Word 97, Word 2000). This could take 10 minutes or so. If they close

Dear Samba users, I've had a problem recently with Samba (2.2.3a, and now 2.2.5) on my OpenBSD 3.1-stable Installation.

Hi there everyone! I'm using Samba 2.0.5a-19990721 on a RedHat 6.0 machine with Linux kernel 2.2.12. My system generally works fine, however recently I've had some complaints about some files being corrupted. The latest and best-handled to enable a debugging happened at around the same time. Both clients were using Windows95 OSR2 machines with Excel 97 SP-2. Two users reported the problem

Hello, all. I'm using Samba 2.2.2 at my FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE server, and have next problems: There is pool of W2K machines, each starting compilation job (usually 2 at one dual CPU machine). Then these jobs trying to simultaneously access sources, located at Samba server, appear problems. Then I running 2 compilation threads from single machine - there is no problems. For jobs error seems

Hi! Even with 2.0.4, I'm still seeing a lot of oplock break failures (clients failing, see log further down). The client hangs for approx 30 secs (sometimes more) and then gets back online. At least one user can't use the file shares at all; it hangs whatever he does, and on any computer he uses (NT or 98, laptop, desktop...) Other users have less problems, but maybe they are less

We are running samba 2.2.3a ( for about 3000 users ) on HP/UX 11.11 fileservers.
