some windows client got problem to access samba server

[kenken_3]

Hi,

I just setup a new samba server on hpux11.11 and I try to list the service from the server itself and another unix server, everything looks fine.

however, some of my windows client got some problem to access the samba server. here is I got from the connection logs:

[2009/08/29 00:23:13, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(642)
cliet IP (server IP) connect to service export initially as user guest (uid=109, gid=105) (pid 10932)
[2009/08/29 00:23:13, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(829)
client IP (server IP) closed connection to service export.

below is my smb.conf file
========================================
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = BO
server string = server(Samba Server)
security = SHARE
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
local master = No
guest account = guest
read only = No

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = No

[export]
path = /export/
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes
#hosts allow = 11.192.243.15

====================================

it seems it connects and closes the connction quickly.

Anyone could help? thanks

Hi,

After enabled debug level 10 logging from the samba end, I captured some error message like this:

2009/08/31 18:39:39, 10] lib/util_sock.c:receive_smb_raw(556)

receive_smb_raw: length < 0!

[2009/08/31 18:39:39, 3] smbd/process.c:timeout_processing(1346)

timeout_processing: End of file from client (client has disconnected).

It seems something has triggered the connection to close after the connection is established. I asked help from Samba webiste, but they said our samba versions is still 3.0 and they don't support it any more. However, our latest HP version is still A.02.04 (3.0k).

Anyone knows where I could some help on this? it seems there are some application level issues in the samba.

thanks,
ken
