While you may be onto something, I currently disagree as the samba logs show the details of what's happening...

As you can see by the last log entry, samba blows the client off and closes the connection less than a minute after it was established. All on it's own.

My users simply will not tolerate having to remap drives umpteen times a day as doing so to an actual MS windows share does not require constant remapping. This behavior is unfortunately a showstopper and I would hate to loose the opportunity for samba to address our UNIX filesharing problems.

I've found slews of reports of this behavior on google, but all the proposed solutions appear to not provide an answer/resolution. Nada @ samba.org & docs (from my perspective).

Thoughts?

After awhile, my connections from my PC to my samba server end up with a

are there) and reopen it , they are gone.  An attempt to reestablish
these  dropped connections is immediately successful.

This is obviously a connection persistence issue and I've tried setting
both keepalive= and SO_KEEPALIVE (individually, of course) to no avail.

Any ideas?


Your MS Windows client is the culprit - it is dropping idle connections as
I recall. Also, you may find that there is a registry setting to turn that
feature off.

My installation is samba 2.2.8 running as a daemon (not inetd) on
Solaris 8 configured to use a WINS server and provide authentication via
a PDC (same host as WINS server).  I do have an lmhosts file in the
samba /lib directory with the PDC/WINS server address in it.

My globals section;

[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        netbios name = SAMBASERVER
        security = SERVER
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        password server = pdc
