Check with your domain admin to see if the unix server was accidentally removed from the domain.

Hi,

Are you using Samba/CIFS? If not, then disabling it would be the best way forward. Otherwise, it looks like either someone from a Windows box trying to connect to your Samba/CIFS server - or one of the PC virii thinks it is attacking a Windows machine.

regards,

Darren.

Seems that your server may be configured as a domain controller. This can actually interfere with the Microsoft domain controller.

It would be a really good idea to check the smb.conf file and make necessary changes to stop this behavior.

Since nobody is complaining, I doubt the HP box is actually performing the function of a domain controller.

If you need Samba/CIFS, I'd check the intergrity of the install. swverify \* if you installed off depots.

Something important may have been deleted. You might want to consider installing the Depot version.

Well after digging around with a shovel.
I found out that:
1.My server seen as Windows box.
2.Samba/CIFS is installed as a server and used as a client.(server options turned off)

I am talking about Prod. box

What should I do.....

I think it's pretty harmless - somebody on a PC is logged on as administrator and is trying to access a samba share - probably being denied as there's no such user as administrator on the Unix box. You can get round this using a username map. Add username map = /var/username.map (or whatever you want to call it) to your smb.conf and add an entry in the file to map the NT administrator user to a valid unix user. Something like nobody = administrator.

I think the multiple respone thing is a result of multiple IP's on the samba host - maybe you're running Service Guard ?

I got a similar message just the other day. I realised it was because I was trying to connect to a share that didn't exist (typo). I suspect as the last post said it is someone trying to login with an invalid username.
