Hello Jansen,
On MPE/iX I would recommend that you do NOT run samba
under inetd control; stream the job files instead. I have heard some
instances where services run under inetd would hang (ftp included,
sometimes), but I don't have any specifics.
There is also an issue with Samba/iX where the log files would not roll over
in the old 5.5 version. Make sure that in your smb.conf file you have log
level = 0 and log size = 10000, so you don't hit a point where samba needs
to rename the logs, and hangs from that. (That issue is fixed in patches
for Samba/iX for 6.0, 6.5 & 7.0 MPE/iX).
Hope this helps,
Don

Subject: samba unreachable from some pc's and not from others
Hi all,
One of our clients has samba version 1.9.16p9 running on a HP3000 MPE system
with OS 5.5 05 p9 (yes, I know it is an old one but the client doesn't want
to upgrade).
After some time of working fine; sometimes weeks, sometimes hours; samba is
unreachable from some pc's.
We don't really see a certain scenario in which it happens neither do we
have problems with certain pc's, they differ every time.
log.smb error:
-------------
Added interface ip=<system ip> bcast=<bcast addr> nmask=<nmask>
07/06/01 15:05:12 loaded services
standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option
Unsupported Samba/iX 0.7 by [log in to unmask] 4/97
07/06/01 15:05:12 staying in job mode on MPE
bind failed on port 139 socket_addr=0 (Address already in use)
-------------
I checked the network settings with a CISCO network specialist and all was
fine. We also "sniffered" the traffic to the HP3000 and have seen the
following errors: "window frozen" and "acknowledgement too long". This
usually reflects to a time-out. Since pinging the system gave a quick
response time, the network is fine (right?).
To me it seems that the port 139 got hung up for a reason.
Has anybody experienced the same and what can I do to solve it?
For now we bounce the inetd.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Eric Jansen
