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
