TDB on OpenBSD problem.

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Virginia,
I've got a 10.20 box I can test this out on - would you send me your
smb.conf file, and your swlist output so I can see what patches you are
running on your 10.20 system; If I can get a couple of hours free from my
REAL job I'll try to reproduce the situation and do some instrumentation to
track it down....
thanks,
Don

Hi,

I've just joined this list because I had a problem when I upgraded to
samba 2.2.0 on a HP-UX 10.20 machine.  I searched the lists to see
whether the problem had been noticed before and if there was a fix.

I used configure with only the --prefix option and the HP Ansi C compiler.
There were no problems in the configuration, compilation or installation.

However, within a few minutes of starting the new samba, the connections.tdb
file grew so much that the file system ran out of space.

This system is a 9000/813/D330 running HP-UX 10.20
I am running the upgraded version of samba with no problems on a
9000/831/D350
running HP-UX 11.0.
