Hi I have Win2k servers connecting to the samba server by mapping a windows user to unix user.
We never had any problems with thsi connectivity but for past 2 weeks we have an erratic problem which causes the windows account to lock thus making samba unfunctional. When I get the windows account unlocked then samba starts functioning properly again. I do not have a scenario to reproduce the problem and it appears once in 2 days or sometimes thrice in a day. This architecture was working for past 2 years without problems. When the error comes samba logs the following: [2003/11/26 11:28:43, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(542) write_socket_data: write failure.
