Hello,

I've been running samba 2.0.7 for a couple years now on a DEC alpha with Tru64 4.0D. I't pertty much a default smb.conf as far as oplocks & that sort of stuff.

Anyway, the other day some users started having troubles with saving ms-word files. The smbd processes have always been running as root. But now the users with the problem own their smbd process. And they get errors like such in the log file:

for dev = 8100000, inode = 17169, tv_sec = 3e22d418, tv_usec = 931fe
[2003/01/13 12:46:27, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(1204)
request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 5755 on port 1450 for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022
for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022, tv_sec = 3e22dc57, tv_usec = d9670
[2003/01/13 12:46:30, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(1204)
request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 4265 on port 1395 for dev = 8100000, inode = 17312
for dev = 8100000, inode = 17312, tv_sec = 3e22d418, tv_usec = 887d2
[2003/01/13 12:46:30, 0] smbd/oplock.c:(1204)
request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 5755 on port 1450 for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022
for dev = 8100000, inode = 144022, tv_sec = 3e22dc57, tv_usec = d9670


It seems since some of the smbd processes is owned by root, the process owned by the users cannot control the root owned process. Is this a correct assumption? How or why would it start doing this? And the user will have several smbd processes started in their name. Seems to be only NT4 clients, although I've not verified that yet.

The only recent change I made was the IP address of the server. The client have had their new IPs for some time now. I'm not tying samba to any specific interface or IP.

ANy clues as to how to fix this?


Thanks
