also there are smbd errors but they happen alot less than the nmbd ones, heres a sample :

Heres my smb.conf, just incase:

        force user = mleall
        force group = MLE-ALL

        guest ok = No

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        path = /home/%u
        read only = No

Thanks, Carl Matthews

Also i've just noticed the errors never occur for directorys but only for files longer than the 8.3. Which again suggests an error in the hash mangling method.

I updated our server to 3.0.5pre1 this morning from the fc1 rpms linked by samba.org.
But the errors persist, But like corey they do dissappear when "mangling method = hash" is rem'd out but this then makes long file names unreadable to programs that use 8.3 filenames, like some of the old compilers we use here.


The errors occur at the sametime as Corey's when ever you browse a share you get an error for all the files in that directory.

Is there any more info you might need to track this down?

Thanks,

Yeah i get this problem too, with samba 3.04 on FC1 exactly the same, string errors when browsing any share which fills up my /var/log/messages file

Any one know a fix?




Can you try 3.0.5pre1. This looks like a bug we've fixed w.r.t.
NetBIOS names.

Jeremy.
