Broken Pipe problem?

[John Rooke]

Hi,

We are running samba 2.1-prealpha on SuSE Linux 6.0 (as a PDC) with win
NTW 4.0 PC's. 

When some PC's log on it seems to take an age and sits on the NTW splash
screen after validating the password with the PDC. The following is an
extract of the log.neil log file that was generated during one such
incident.

What is the Broken Pipe error and how is it fixed?

I have a network of many PC's with the same problem and am getting
hassled to fix it by the users.

Yours in desperation.

John.
