[Samba] Broken pipe errors on samba server

[Greg Barry]

I'm running a fairly simple samba server on a sun V440, solaris 9
Samba version:  3.0.10
smbd daemon only

In the server logs I'm getting:

write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe
write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 5: ERRNO = Broken pipe
Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. (Broken pipe)
setting sec ctx (0, 0) - sec_ctx_stack_ndx = 0
Closing connections
Yielding connection to
Server exit (process_smb: send_smb failed.)
timeout_processing: End of file from client (client has disconnected).


The XP Pro clients report few problems (other than occasional performance)

Wondering if these error messages are an issue and how I might correct them


Here is my smb.conf file:

# Samba config file

Thanks,

[Samba] Broken pipe errors

[Julie Catellier]

We have samba version 1.9.18 on Solaris 5.  This has worked well 
and suddenly we were unable to log in or gain any access to the 
samba shares or to the server itself because access was so slow. 
This problem has only happened for approx 4 hours today and last 
Friday.  We have the errors listed below.  Can anyone help us with 
this?
