I'm testing the AIX binaries for 3.0.24 and have run into a problem. Depending on how I map the share (using: \\[IP, hostname or FQDN]\[sharename]) then the connection to the server is closed after just a few seconds of inactivity.
The server runs on AIX5.3 with the latest fixpack. The client is Win XP SP2. I'm currently using 3.0.22 on our production server and don't have this problem there (it's however a compiled from source and not the "pre-made binaries" from samba.org). If I use the IP address to map the share then everything works just like normal (the connection stays open for an hr). But if I use the hostname or FQDN to map the share then the connection is closed after just a few seconds of idle time. So if I map the share like this: C:\Documents and Settings\clund>net use Z: \\10.0.88.187\refprod The command completed successfully. Then everything works fine. But if I map the share like this: C:\Documents and Settings\clund>net use Z: \\tax187a\refprod The command completed successfully. Then the connection is closed within seconds. Here're the level 2 logs using the hostname to map the share. The log is identical to using the IP except for the last two entries: tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:07 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:07, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(323) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:07 smbd[892938]: Allowed connection from (10.0.89.165) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:07 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:07, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(799) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:07 smbd[892938]: setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources. tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:07 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:07, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:setup_new_vc_session(799) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:07 smbd[892938]: setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources. tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:11 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:11, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(309) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:11 smbd[892938]: check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [clund] -> [clund] -> [clund] succeeded tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:11 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:11, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(323) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:11 smbd[892938]: Allowed connection from (10.0.89.165) tax187a smbd warning daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:12 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:12, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(950) tax187a smbd warning daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:12 smbd[892938]: tax165 (10.0.89.165) connect to service refprod initially as user refprod (uid=450, gid=202) (pid 892938) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:12 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:12, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_tcon_and_X(711) tax187a smbd notice daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:12 smbd[892938]: Serving refprod as a Dfs root tax187a smbd warning daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:14 smbd[892938]: [2007/05/11 14:38:14, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1150) tax187a smbd warning daemon 2007-05-11 14:38:14 smbd[892938]: tax165 (10.0.89.165) closed connection to service refprod I have level 10 log files available too if anybody needs to get a look at things in that kind of detail.
