CIFS Server Problem

[HP-UX Enthusiast]

Hi All
I am seriously starting to consider this a bug in the current version of CIFS Server (Product B8725AA, Version A.01.10). Whenever I start up Samba the following is logged to the log.nmbd file:

[2003/07/30 13:53:11, 0] nmbd/nmbd_responserecordsdb.c:(234)
find_response_record: response packet id 15933 received with no matching record.

And over 800 lines of more output like this. I have read the previous posts which point to either an issue with the loopback interface or the smb.conf file. I don't think either of these apply because the loopback is defined in /etc/hosts, and it is listed in the interfaces table and I can telnet through it. I have run testparms on the smb.conf file and no errors have been reported. Following is the file:

[global]
workgroup = someworkgroup
server string = someserver
log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
local master = no
smb passwd file = /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd
case sensitive = yes
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = no
dos filetime resolution = yes
syslog = no

[someshare]
comment = Some Comment
path = /home/somewhere/somedir
read only = no
write list = auser
create mode = 0664

I can actually map the directory OK and everything seems to work - but these errors are irritating and I would like to get to the bottom of them.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I've seen this message from older versions of CIFS, so it's not just confined to the latest version. As far as I'm aware it isn't a particularly serious warning; I believe it's caused by the CIFS server receiving some form of browsing response but not one that it actually requested.

If you want this investigated in further detail you may like to consider logging a call with your local HP response centre.

regards,

Darren.
