nmbclusters question

2005-02-17 Thread MacConnect Home Office
In theory, if my nmbclusters setting was too low, and traffic on my 
machine made nmbclusters hit its ceiling, could my machine go deaf to 
network connections without logging any errors in the log files?

I'm running FreeBSD 4.3.

No.  Or probably not, as you haven't mentioned which services you are running, 
but NMBCLUSTERS is supposed to be self-tuning unless you override it yourself. 
  Something like Apache or sendmail or SSH would complain about ENOBUFS/out 
of network buffer space errors to their logfiles if they were not able to 
listen for incoming connections.

More probably, you have some kind of intermittant hardware failure, but 
diagnosing the issue using ping and tcpdump would be a lot more useful.

Time to update.  :-)
