 Thanks for any help or advice,

When you find out, let me know. :) It's been that way for ages on my system. The two socket option messages are related to header related problems, if I'm not mistaken, but it's really not a big deal. Do you have either of those defined in smb.conf?

As far as the buffer thing... this concerned me for along time. I can't remember whether this got any better or worse, but there's a lot wrong with 3.0.7 on HP-UX. I would not run anything earlier than 3.0.14 on an HP-UX system.

Are you running Opensource Samba or HP CIFS Server? For HP CIFS, you should not see the socket option errors, but the buffer space log entry could be any number of things. Ryan is correct - you should be up on 3.0.14 (HP CIFS Server A.02.02.01).

Make sure that you have your nfiles, nflocks, and nprocs set correctly - see the most recent Admin Guide on page 258 (http://docs.hp.com/en/B8725-90101/B8725-90101.pdf). We may have located a locking problem (!) that could cause the entry, but it is at a site that connects with smbclient. Also, if your users are connecting and disconnecting often (like at a school - everybody disconnects and connects on the hour) then that could do it too.

I have not seen a case where the buffer space log entry has accompanied a problem on the server. I enquire about this from every site that reports it, but so far, no one has seen a problem. If you see it differently, then please let me know.
