[Samba] Samba problems

[Stephen C. Biggs]

Samba v2.2.5-8 using source rpms from Redhat rawhide, compiled for i686 
target, RedHat Linux 7.3 kernel version 2.4.18-10.

Two issues:
1. I am seeing in my /var/log/messages logs this:
Aug 26 16:01:01 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 16:01:02 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=707, 
generation=3
Aug 26 16:01:02 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 16:01:03 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=711, 
generation=3
Aug 26 17:01:02 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 17:01:02 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=707, 
generation=4
Aug 26 17:01:02 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 17:01:03 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=711, 
generation=4
Aug 26 18:01:03 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 18:01:03 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=707, 
generation=5
Aug 26 18:01:03 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 18:01:04 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=711, 
generation=5
Aug 26 19:01:00 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 19:01:01 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=707, 
generation=6
Aug 26 19:01:01 linux kernel: smb_request: result -104, setting invalid
Aug 26 19:01:02 linux kernel: smb_retry: successful, new pid=711, 
generation=6

Notice that this is happening every hour.  What is this?  What does it 
need that I am not providing it?  I tried looking everywhere on the 'Net 
for "-104" and couldn't find anything.

I've also had KDE lock up on me hard right after one of these, and I 
can't be sure that Samba isn't implicated in that.

Also, this may be related:
2. I set my Win 2k settings Lan Manager Authentication to be "Send NTLMv2 
response only/refuse LM & NTLM" and Samba fails to mount the disk on 
Linux.  Also, there are about 600 smb processes started with everything 
else failing with messages like "too many open files", etc... I believe 
that this is what was causing me to lock up.

Any ideas about these issues?  Is anybody else seeing this?
