I am having nearly the EXACT same problem as http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2003-December/033315.html
I have samba 3.0.1-1 rpms and fedora core 1. Samba is set as a WINS server, which the win2k machines, who use DHCP from router, are pointed to by the WINS server address specified in router(each of the win2k machines, via ipconfig /all reveal they do in fact use the wins server). At different times, and different machines, the win2k clients get one of the two errors... "\\computer not accessible. the system cannot find message text for message number 0x%1 in the message file for %2" or "\\computer is not accessible an internal windows 2000 error occurred" while these unaccessible computers generate this message, if i try from the linux machine for the same \\machine, i get session setup failed: NT code 0xf90a8141 via smbclient -L \\machine -U user later, it is accessible. it keeps going on and off. I was told this may be fixed if I install netbeui protocol on all win2k machines? This is a pretty annoying problem, and I've checked and checked my config, but have found no solution in it or on the internet. My smb.conf is attached. Any help would be appreciated. # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) # Date: 2004/01/06 19:02:42 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = LAMP netbios name = LROL-SERVER netbios aliases = INTRANET passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u logon script = logon.cmd logon home = \\homeserver\%u\winprofile domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes ldap ssl = no create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No [netlogon] path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon write list = ntadmin [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/%u read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [Databases] comment = Access path = /share/Databases valid users = @users, @ntadmin write list = @users, @ntadmin veto oplock files = /*.*/ [ACT] comment = ACT path = /share/ACT valid users = @users, @ntadmin write list = @users, @ntadmin veto oplock files = /*.*/ [CDM] comment = Controlled Doc Master path = /share/CDM read list = @users write list = @ntadmin veto oplock files = /*.*/ [Public] comment = Active LROL Documents path = /share/Public valid users = @users, @ntadmin write list = @users, @ntadmin veto oplock files = /*.*/ [Logs] comment = to logs on server path = /share/Logs valid users = @users, @ntadmin write list = @users, @ntadmin veto oplock files = /*.*/ _______________________________________________ No banners.
