Title: Newbie needing help - Samba 2.2.3a & Windows clients RDR - redirector??

    Hello Guru's  - I'm a new to Samba and I am having some NT 4 client problems that appear to be Samba related.

    We're running Samba 2.2.3a on a HPUX 11i server for sharing out a database application files (Rational Clearcase).
    My smb.conf file:

    # Global parameters
    [global]
            client code page = 437
            workgroup = DEV
            netbios name = CMSSF
            server string = %h Samba %v Server
            security = DOMAIN
            encrypt passwords = Yes
            password server = *
            log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m
            max log size = 50
            time server = Yes
            load printers = No
            show add printer wizard = No
            preferred master = False
            local master = No
            domain master = False
            dns proxy = No
            wins server = xxx.xx.xx.xx
            kernel oplocks = No
            read only = No
            create mask = 0775
            directory mask = 0775
            hide dot files = No
            oplocks = No

    [rdms]
            comment = RDMS Clearcase dbs
            path = /rd1/rdms
            write list = @dms
            guest ok = Yes
            browseable = No

    (Have multiple shares configured the same way)

    On a few NT clients some users are having problems downloading with certain files that generate application errors while others don't get the problem. Having the user try the same operations on one of these non-problematic boxes, everything to works fine so I can rule out user/file permission problems. 

    These errors are sporadic and do not always occur on the same file.  I've noticed that at the same time as these Clearcase errors, the host's NT event log record a RDR warning  -  "The redirector has timed out a request to ".

    Looking at the Samba log files I get the following

    Various hosts log files having this problem has similar entries like this:
    [2002/10/04 10:13:43, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(436)
      read_data: read failure for 8015. Error = Connection reset by peer

    log.smbd has various entries like below:

    [2002/10/07 13:41:29, 5] tdb/tdbutil.c:(475)
      tdb((NULL)): tdb_brlock failed (fd=10) at offset 4 rw_type=2 lck_type=6

    Is this SAMBA  related issue or something else.. network?.. client??
    Is there a config parameter that I can set to resolve these problems?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is all new to me.

    Thanks
    Norman Dignard
