SAMBA 2.2- VMS8.2, Mounting a share from a Citrix server

[arun sanghvi]

Users are trying to mount a VMS directory from a Citrix server. At random they get the error message shown below:

Questions:
1. Is there a work around?
2. How do we force a log for each SAMBA connection?
3. Does this issue get resolve in HP's new product- CIFS?

Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like the connection has dropped and not being maintained! Try setting the "log level=" value in your smb.conf file. It is set just as you would under *nix.

Also, check in smb.conf for an entry such as "log file=". If there is not one, add one, such as: "log file=[log]log.%m", where [log] is a sub-directory of the samba_root logical.

Once this is created, each system connecting will have their IP_NUMBER or address translation recorded as log.IP_NUMBER or log.DNS_NAME. Then look in each address.

Ye olde samba 2.2.x is a problematic application, at best, and almost anything would be better than that. (IMHO).

Regards,
Mark
