[Samba] Ldap & socket error messages

[Tanguy LEOST]

Hello,

I run a samba (v3.0.10) PDC and  openLdap server on the same machine.

They work fine, except sometimes the smb server cannot contact the ldap 
server.

 From a windows client, it looks like the server
gets stuck, and it takes a few minutes before the shares
are available again.

In the /var/log/messages file, i get these error messages :

This occurs from time to time ;
If I browse the /var/log/messages, I can see *lots* of
error messages that occur very frequently :

--------------------------------------------------------------------
(Connexion ré-initialisée par le correspondant = connection reset by peer.)

Does anyone know what's going on ?
I don't know if the errors are related.
I don't know either why nmbd tries to contact 169.254.2.2, which
looks like a dummy address...


Thanks in advance for your help.
