I've been running Samba3.0.21a on two AIX5.3 servers for several weeks with no major problems. Today, one of the servers stopped working. I received the following message from Windows when I tried to access one of the share drives:
An error occurred while reconnecting T: to \\wara01\TSMreports Microsoft Windows Network: This local device name is already in use This connection has not been restored I received this error a couple of times before. But when I cleared out the logs and refreshed the inetd daemon the problem was resolved. However, that did not work today. I went through all the troubleshooting steps and have concluded the following: - Networking software is working - TCP with FTP is working - Samba daemons (nmbd & smbd) are running - The daemons are bound to ports (netstat -a ) - inetd.conf lines are correct netbios-ssn stream tcp nowait root /opt/Samba/3.0.21a/sbin/smbd smbd netbios-ns dgram udp wait root /opt/Samba/3.0.21a/sbin/nmbd nmbd - smbd works with telnet - testparm shows no error messages The following is where I encountered problems : /opt/Samba/3.0.21a/bin > ./smbclient -L localhost -U% Domain=[NA2] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.21a] tree connect failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds /opt/Samba/3.0.21a/bin > ./smbclient '\\wara01\root' session request to WARA01 failed (Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds) Password: Domain=[NA2] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.21a] tree connect failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds C:\>net use \\wara01\root System error 121 has occurred. The semaphore timeout period has expired. C:\>net view \\wara01 System error 121 has occurred. The semaphore timeout period has expired. I can't find any help for these particular error messages in ch12.html#samba webpage. I would appreciate any advice anyone has to offer.
