Bug 112424

*** Bug 112431 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Any update to this issue?  I am including my smb.conf file..

I tried setting some charsets, but that did not resolve the issue.

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

I've put RPMs of samba-3.0.2rc1 on 
http://people.redhat.com/fenlason/.samba .  Can you try them and see if 
they resolve your problem.  Note that these are un-qa'd packages of a 
release that is not intended for production use.  If they solve your 
problem, I will attempt to get samba-3.0.2 included in the next quarterly 
update of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. 

I have downloaded, and installed the requested samba files.  I am
currently testing them out, and will supply the results later today
(01/19/04)

Thx

Kimo B.

Jay,

I have done some testing of the above code.  So far there does not
appear to be any issues.  I have done multiple 1 gig transfers (both
ways, at the same time, with other access requests going on) and
everything seems great.  

Thx for the rpms...

Kimo B.

I've built new rpms from samba-3.0.2rc2, if you want to try them out.
They're in the http://people.redhat.com/fenlason/.samba/ directory.
When 3.0.2 final is released, I'll try to get it included in the next
quarterly update.

I have downloaded them, and will give them a shot.

Kimo B.

Are you still seeing this problem with current RPMs?  If current rpms work I'm 
going to close this. 

Ohh, sorry.  Everything is working great.  (the RPMS you provided 
solved the issue, and all updates rpms seemed to keep the problem 
fixed).

Cheers.

Kimo B.
