See my comments below about "logfile name" and "guest on authenticate." Other questions left to others to answer.

Recently, we undertook to upgrade our samba server 2.2.8a towards version 3.0.11. There remain however still some issues which I try to regulate or to understand.
OS: AIX 4.3.3 CC: ibmcxx 3.6.6
1: "Software caused connection abort" in log.smbd
On every connection, I've the following error in my log. What could be the problem?
[2005/02/14 16:43:22, 0] smbd/server.c:open_sockets_smbd(388)
open_sockets_smbd: accept: Software caused connection abort
2: logfile name
The name of the log files are supposed to be log.hostname but some of them are log.ip
How could this be possible? everything is ok with samba 2.2.8a
in smb.conf
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
I've noticed this too. Not sure why. Perhaps the first time a client connects, Samba uses the machine name, then for subsequent activity in that session it's using the resolved IP? Are the log.name files generated by smbd while the log.ip files are generated by nmbd? I don't really know. Regardless, I'd strongly urge you to change the log file to %m.log instead of log.%m, as log rotation scripts (see man logrotate) can be confused by having it your way. You end up with log.%m.0 and then log.%m.0.0 then log.%m.0.0.0 and so on, the logs never really get rotated properly.

I would guess this is happening on the client side, not the Samba side. Your Windows machine may be first trying "guest" before trying "username."
3: guest on authenticate
On every authentication, the guest account (nobody) is trying to authenticate, the connection is refused, then it's trying with the username. We would like the guest account to never be used.
in smb.conf map to guest = Never guest account = nobody guest only = No guest ok = No
in a log.hostname file
[2005/02/14 16:43:22, 0] smbd/password.c:user_ok(386)
rejected user nobody:3004-302 Your account has expired; please see the system administrator.

4: Is there a way to know what is the OS of the client (logfile? which debug level? which debug message?)
If anyone is able to answer or explain me one of those issues :)
