Below are a number of errors that appeared in a log file today. I am running Samba v2.2.5 on a Red Hat Linux v7.3 system. The client experiencing/causing the errors below is a WinXP(SP1) machine. The log entries below pertain to 2 errors, the first in handling file "6.zip" and the second in attempting to run file "DiskeeperWks413zssi.exe". I didn't see the first

Hi all, I have the following problem. A Linux (2.2.19) machine is running Samba 2.2.2 as a PDC. The clients are Win2K SP2. A user accesses several Excel 2000 files on a share. This sometimes results in long(ish) delays (the user reports around 10 seconds, although this could be longer) and the message from Excel that the file is in use and can only be read. After closing and re-opening the file,

Hi, we have a strange samba locking problem with version 3.0. Sometimes user only get a read only access to files. This happens with different users on different clients. Unix permissions are OK.

Well I'm having some trouble with samba, I had those troubles on a box for quite some time and not long ago I moved all the stuff to a new box to see if it'll work better but it doesn't. I'm monitoring one person in particular because she's the one who do most of the editing stuff in there. What happens is when she opens a document (.doc or .xls most of the time), when she

Guys, I think the answer to my question is to upgrade samba. However, since this is my production machine, I thought I would try and understand the problems I'm having a little better to insure that an upgrade will correct my issues. My setup - Mandrake 7.2, samba 2.09. Win98, ME and XP clients. The 98 and ME machines have no problems. The XP machine has some intermittent slowness

Hello! Whenenver I try to save a downloaded file with Opera [6.x] to a Samba share [2.2.x], Opera (and also the windows-explorer) freezes. Having set log-level to 1, I get the following message after a while. Sometimes, but not always, Opera continues working after 30seconds or so. I have the same behaviour in Samba 2.2.2, 2.2.3a and 2.2.4-pre. My Server is running SuSE 7.3 with the 2.4.16

There seems to be a few people having this problem, but not much response. I've dug into the logs, and while I don't know exactly what I am looking at, I think I may have found something that may make sense to someone. A short recap. Samba was working fine, until I did a Debian security update, which upgraded my Samba to 2.2.8a. Now, I can create files on a mounted Samba share in a

Hello, last friday I switched my users from an old server running 2.2.12 to a new one running 3.0.10 (that I've been testing myself and with smbtorture). After a while I had to switch back to the old server because some users were having serious problems. This is one of the logs (the others are very similar): [2005/03/04 12:25:05, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)

Can any one help me ? This has been bugging me for ages. I have been using different versions of samba for a while on different versions of Redhat (7.0, 7.2, 7.3). I regularly get erratic freezing (for about a minute) whenever I right click on files. This has happened on different computers on different sites on different networks, so I assume it's quite consistent This is what I get when

I'm using samba and cups to allow NT/2k machines to print to an HP LaserJet 4000N printer. The printer works fine except for one in house program. In this one program, all the horizontal lines that should be printed are missing. Originally I thought this was a driver problem, but today, for no apparent reason, it started printing the horizontal lines... but only for the first page of each

Hi folks I hope someone might be able to shed some light on a problem that I am experiencing with a Samba server. I installed this server about 2 and a half years ago on a client's site. The server has been running fine. We are now experiencing two problems which according to the client occured overnight. The first problem started about a week and a half ago when they found that when trying

Hi all, We are considering moving our VSS database from a Win2K server to a samba server. All clients are Win2K clients. I used the VSS tool "testlock.exe" to make sure the native lock mode can be used. The test was successful, and I saw that an SMBlock transaction was performed, and a reply_lockingX was replied. When I opened a VSS database on the samba server and started to use it -

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! I've been using samba for some time now with about 20 users and with remote installation of Windows XP from dos (TFTPboot image with dos network drivers - ms client 1.6c). On all releases (up to, and including 2.2.5) a recursive xcopy (from dos) copied all files normally. When I upgraded to samba 2.2.6, the recursive xcopy (win98 version of xcopy.exe, copying from a mapped drive)

This was in regards to a problem with ms applications hanging on trying to open a file. Turns out it was an nfs locking issue.

We are running Samba3.0.23b on Redhat ES4 and find that we are getting quite a few of the release_posix_lock errors appearing in the SAMBA log (See base of this note). There is no obvious impact on the operation of the system, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same and whether we need to worry about this. We have the default "posix locking=yes" in operation and

I have been attempting to run the various permutations of Samba 3.0.x on my site now for a couple of weeks, and I can find no way to get it working properly. Either no one else is testing it, or there is something wrong with some manner of settings on my machines -- and they are of multiple classes adn different installs. I have one G70, one D380, and one 9000 N-class, and all of them exhibit this

We are running samba 2.2.3a ( for about 3000 users ) on HP/UX 11.11 fileservers. Our customers are complaining about slow response on the opening/closing of files in office/excel etc. In the samba log file we see the following messages : [2002/10/29 09:03:27, 0] ../source/smbd/oplock.c:(761) oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds. oplock_break failed for file My
