I am seeing a strange problem on the two RH 9 machines upon which we loaded samba [ both the RH production samba release (2.7.something) and also on the 3.0 Rawhide samba beta release ].
Smbmount ( or mount -t smbfs) has worked for a few years on older machines running the RH 7.2-7.3 variants and still works well today. However, both RH 9 machines on which we put samba have intermittent "hangs" after smbfs mounts. After a control-c, the share is definitely mounted, but since several mounts are run in a single script, terminating the script is undesirable behaviour. The only error message I sometimes get in strace is <not finished>. This is a very frequent but random event, and occurs on connections from both the RH 9 boxes to Windoze boxes and other Linux boxes. Older boxes (which don't have this problem) share the same hub and unmanaged switches. The windoze boxes can map each other ( and the Linux boxes) without a problem. Has anyone else experienced this failure ?? A strace is unrevealing, since everything up to <password> is the same for both failed and successful attempts. This could be a mount problem, rather than a samba problem. I haven't seen anything in Google which resembles this issue. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
