Hello, I stepped through the archives of this list, but could not find a thread dealing with exactly this problem we are experiencing here. Server HP-UX 10.20 Samba 2.0.6 security = domain deadtime = 500 ... that should be enough The win2k clients map a drive and everything is working fine. after a period of inactivity (about half an hour) win2k somehow disconnects the mapped drive and marks

The issue of disconnected networkshares (shares offered on an NT server) has appeared on this mailinglist a few times. It is not a samba issue, but it seems many here might benefit from the information given below anyways, as I've never seen a solution to the problem come by. Problem: Whenever there has not been any activity (file/network IO) to or from a networkshare that is offered by an

I am getting red crosses on the mapped drives of some win2k pro machines connecting to a samba pdc. I don't have them logging into the domain and the drives are disconnecting (it happens on win2k server too). There is a parameter for win2k server to autodisconnect the drive after 15 minutes which can be changed with: net config server /autodisconnect:TIME and there is a registry key in

Hi Jeremy, No, I don't mean "deadtime". I mean auto disconnect. Specifically, the command "net config server /autodisconnect:-1" was run on each client machine. If deadtime is a server configuration item perhaps you could point me in the direction of some documentation where that is covered. The documentation for smb.conf is, to put it very mildly, incomplete.

I am using Samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on a Debian server. All the clients but one are XP home edition. I have a share on the server which all workstations are able to see, view, write, edit, etc. After 15 minutes of inactivity the share obtains a red X over the share icon. I am able to reactivate the share by clicking on the red x with no problems. I understand that Microsoft, in their wisdom, has a

After awhile, my connections from my PC to my samba server end up with a red "X" in them (share disappeared) if I leave my explorer window open. If I click on these, they "wake up" and continue to function (and the red X's go away). If I close my explorer window (while the red X's are there) and reopen it , they are gone. An attempt to reestablish these

Hello everyone. I have two linux servers* that each have four directories mounted as SMBFS shares from a Windows 2000 Server. For the most part, this set-up is working great, however, there have been occasional hiccups. Every so often, one of the servers, LINUX-ONE, logs a couple of Samba-related errors. The following is an example: Jun 30 06:30:45 mx-two kernel: smb_trans2_request:

Hello, After 10 mins of unactivity of pop3 , dovecot disconnect the user (-ERR Disconnected for inactivity.) What is the option in the config file which control the unactivity logout time ? becuase i want to decrease the inactivity time To 5 mins instead of 10 mins Please advise Robert JR

Why do I keep getting these messages? (from /var/log/messages) I use RedHat 7.1 and have a coupple of shares on the machine on a bizzy samba network.

We recently completed our Samba 3 to Samba 4 transition without too many serious problems but one rather annoying issue has cropped up since the migration. Network shares on our file server become disconnected overnight, whether idle or not. This was never a problem with Samba 3 but since upgrading Samba on the server to version 4 and joining it to the Samba 4 AD domain this problem is

Hi Samba-Team, I have a Linux Workstation (Dual Processor Xeon, 800GByte RAID 10, Gigabit Ethernet). There is a Samba Server (2.2.0) on it and there is a mounted Share from an NT-PC (mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,password=xxx //xxx/mount /home/mnt). In the file /var/log/messages I have the following error Messages : smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid smb_lookup: find //xxx

Is it possible to have Dovecot cleanly terminate an IMAP session after a certain time? I have a number of users who leave their MUA (Mozilla Thunderbird) on all night, and I'd like to have them (cleanly) disconnect in order to free up resources after a certain "inactivity" time (e.g. 2 hours). Can that be done? -JP

Hi Jeremy, Using Samba without Windows seems rather pointless, as no other OS needs it, nor can test it to any truly useful extent. Thanks for point out the man page, which I've always taken as be referring to Samba 3, not Samba 4. I can only wonder why there's a site dedicated to Samba 4 documentation and this information isn't there. If the default deadtime = 0 and we

I have a machine running redhat 6.2 and samba 2.0.6 that does a persistent mount to my Windows 2000 machine for the purposes of serving files via FTP. The samba connection occasionally times out it seems, I get the message smb_request: result -32, setting invalid smb_retry: new pid=20679, generation=12 and it generates a new connection I've got SO_KEEPALIVE active in the socket options in my

Hi Are there any known problems with Word 97 and Samba. I have couple of users that complain about Word loosing contact with the server. Sometimes with error msg. sometimes not. Sometimes behaves like its trying to store something but can't do it. The user is running Word 97-sr2. Find nothing wrong with words settings. I have disablet oplocks, did'nt help. Any other options that might

I've got some of our busiest users now using Dovecot instead of UW-IMAP with mbox-format mailboxes and predominantly Outlook Express as the client. Doing some perfomance monitoring (with Solaris 8 process accounting), it looks like Dovecot needing to read only 30-50% of the disk blocks needed by UW-IMAP, but I was hoping for better! What seems to happen, is that most of the connections

I have a couple of Linux directories that are being exported via Samba running under SuSE 10.0. On the Windows side, each of them is assigned a (mapped) drive letter. In the "My Computer" list they initially show up as "Disconnected Network Drive". If I attempt to access a file within one of them, the access fails with an indication that the drive does not exist.
