Samba Problems

[Rene Hermann_1]

Hi,

we've got some trouble with Samba (CIFS) 2.2.8
under HP-UX 11.0.
We have a share with the following definition:

[***]
comment = ***
path = ***
guest account =
create mask = 0666
short preserve case = Yes
mangle case = No
mangled names = No
browseable = No
blocking locks = No
strict locking = Yes
dos filetime resolution = No

From the clients sometimes we get the message
(german) "unzulässige share operation".
The clients are Win98 and MS-DOS 6.22.

So what's the problem?

Thanks
Ren

MS-DOS 6.22!

1) "testparm smb.conf"
2) "ping BIGSERVER" from the PC and "ping ACLIENT" from the unix box.
3) "smbclient -L BIGSERVER"
4) "nmblookup -B BIGSERVER __SAMBA__" (* ip correct ? *)
5) "nmblookup -B ACLIENT '* (* ip correct ? *)
6) "nmblookup -d 2 '* (* broadcast OK ? *)
7) "smbclient //BIGSERVER/TMP". (* password ? *)
8) "net view \\BIGSERVER" from DOS (* shares listed ? *)
9) "net use x: \\BIGSERVER\TMP". (* password ? *)
10 ) "nmblookup -M TESTGROUP" (* test the workgroup *)
11 ) test browser

(* report any errors *)

In addition to Michael's tests I'd suggest you ensure that you have a log level of 3 and then check the CIFS logs for errors around the times that your clients get errors.
