samba/winbind - Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding
Last modified: 2008-12-17 13:39:02 EST
Description of problem: When a samba server is configured as a PDC, with samba version 3.0.25b, the following message is logged over and over again in smb.log: "libsmb/clientgen.c:cli_receive_smb(112) Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding". The log entry is repeated 3 times in quick succession, and the cycle repeats every 5 minutes. Also, client machines take a long time to connect to samba shared resources (often 30 seconds or longer). This is a known samba bug that has been resolved as of samba release 3.0.28a (please see thread at https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4973 ). Is the fix for this issue in the stream for rhel4/5? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.25b-1.el4_6.4 How reproducible: always/continuous Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install samba 3.0.25b via rpm and configure as PDC. 2. Have Windows XP/Vista clients connect to samba shares. 3. Examine smb.log Actual results: Many "server stopped responding" entries in smb.log. Many instances of very long connection times. Expected results: Server doesn't stop responding. Clients can connect in a reasonable amount of time. Additional info:
Yes should be fixed in the next update release of RHEL4 and RHEL5. Beta packages are available for testing.
Great! Where can I get the beta for the samba packages?
Through RHN channel.
