Hi Andreas,
as far as I know, inetd -c only causes the current inetd daemon
to re-read it's inetd.conf file.  It does NOT cause the samba services
to reread the smb.conf file...

Well, we run Samba under INETD since this was supported ... and didn't
encounter problems. It's much eleganter to update samba config by
inetd.net.sys -c instead of aborting and restarting a job I suppose.

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
