[Samba] Broken Pipe error
My company did lot of far-reaching IT systems changes. They seem to have broken an installation of Samba on a HP-UX machine. I can: ssh to the machine. Use X remotely. Ping it by name. Ping from it by name. But Samba doesn't work. When I try to access it I get the error The semaphore timeout period has expired. When I look in the Samba logs I get a list of messages that look like: [2004/01/06 10:44:56, 0] lib/util_sock.c: (565) write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 7: ERRNO = Broken pipe [2004/01/06 10:44:56, 0] lib/util_sock.c: (754) Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. Exiting I've tried starting and restarting Samba. The OS is HP-UX, the version of Samba is 2.0.7. There are a few posts on the internet that connect it with DNS problems. But few are specific as to what DNS problems. I've tried accessing it from machines that use DHCP and ones with static IP addresses. I've tried accessing it only by IP address, which also doesn't work.

Any firewall rules on it ? Brian Beaver wrote: I'm having a problem with a samba 2.0.10-0.7 server on Redhat 7.0 (kernel 2.2.17-8)..

Re: [Samba] broken pipe error
No, no firewall; I was going to add ipfwadmin or upgrade the system to RH7.3 (a bit hesitant to do a complete upgrade during the school year since it is the school's primary email server). I also checked xinetd; smb is loading as a daemon process, and isn't reference in xinetd. Brian Beaver DMEC On Tue, 17 Sep 2002, Yura Pismerov wrote: Any firewall rules on it ?

Re: [Samba] broken pipe error
Found the problem; this version of the kernel doesn't have SysV IPC options rolled into it. Guess I'll have to upgrade the whole machine. Here's a URL to a description of the exact problem: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Linux_Networking/Q_10335684.html Guess I'll do a kernel upgrade first to see if that'll work.
