RPC timeouts in SPOOLSS code.

[Joe Doran]

In 2.2 official release I may have stumbled on a problem.

We have many subnets which are over leased lines. At these sites there
is a samba
server running on sco openserver 5.05.
On configuring samba up all is well except printing.

On connecting print queues locally over leased lines to remote subnets,
the printer
gets setup. It first says opening printer and then initializing printer.
At the initialization
it hangs. On checking logs it appears to be centred around ipc.c line
(292) which
calls get_rpc_pipe().

Logs look like:-
[2001/05/10 18:37:42, 3] smbd/ipc.c:reply_trans(482)
  trans <\PIPE\> data=100 params=0 setup=2
[2001/05/10 18:37:42, 5] smbd/ipc.c:reply_trans(493)
  calling named_pipe
[2001/05/10 18:37:42, 3] smbd/ipc.c:named_pipe(334)
  named pipe command on <> name
[2001/05/10 18:37:42, 5] smbd/ipc.c:api_fd_reply(275)
  api_fd_reply
[2001/05/10 18:37:42, 4]
rpc_server/srv_pipe_hnd.c:get_rpc_pipe(952)
  search for pipe pnum=7024
[2001/05/10 18:37:42, 1] smbd/ipc.c:api_fd_reply(292)
  api_fd_reply: INVALID PIPE HANDLE: 7024
[2001/05/10 18:37:42, 3] smbd/ipc.c:api_no_reply(254)
  Unsupported API fd command.

Strange thing is, this works on a local area network between two
subnets, albeit
slightly slower than NT to NT communications.

Smb.conf is :-
# Samba config file created using SWAT
 # from 10.74.211.227 (10.74.211.227)
 # Date: 2001/05/10 18:48:18

          force directory mode = 0777

Function that is not returning the pipe handle.

/****************************************************************************

 Find an rpc pipe given a pipe handle in a buffer and an offset.
****************************************************************************/

pipes_struct *get_rpc_pipe_p(char *buf, int where)
{
        int pnum = SVAL(buf,where);

        if (chain_p)
                return chain_p;

        return get_rpc_pipe(pnum);
}

/****************************************************************************

****************************************************************************/

pipes_struct *get_rpc_pipe(int pnum)
{
        pipes_struct *p;

        DEBUG(4,("search for pipe pnum=%x\n", pnum));


Before I delve in further can anyone verify that this indeed a problem
that is
reproducable elsewhere.
