Office files getting corrupted under Win2k/upgrade to 2.2.1a?

[Dan Bongert]

I'm running Samba 2.06 under Tru64 Unix 4.0G. This has been working well
for us for the past few years. Lately, though, I've been getting reports
of MS Office files getting corrupted upon save. The common thread in these
reports seems to be a Windows 2000 client.

So, I've been investigating upgrading to a more recent version of Samba. I
installed 2.2.1a on a different Tru64 machine (not the main file server),
to see if our config file would work without modification. However, it's
not going smoothly. I can see the server in a Network Neighborhood, but
this error message comes up under NT4 and 2000:

	\\Hal is not accessible.
	
	No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this 
	time because there are already as many connections as this 
	computer can accept.

log.nmbd is filled with lines like this:

[2001/10/02 11:28:00, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:(342)
  tdb(/software/samba/var/locks/unexpected.tdb): tdb_oob len 1712 beyond
eof at 
176
[2001/10/02 11:28:00, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:(342)
  tdb(/software/samba/var/locks/unexpected.tdb): tdb_oob len 1956 beyond
eof at 
176

Any ideas what might be causing this? Might it be because Hal is accessing
it's disk shares via NFS from the main file server (Guy)?
