Hello to all,
I connect from a Linux machine (als client)
to an NT4 (service pack 3) server.
On Linux side I use:
kernel 2.0.34
samba 1.9.18p8
smbfs-2.0.2
I connect from the Linux PC via PPP ( with MS-CHAP) to the NT4 server.
I tested first with smbclient:
I can upload to the NT4 server text files of any dimension,
( with CR LFs )
but when I try to send binary files,
(an ELF linux executable for example)
IT DOES NOT WORK.
smbclient , after a long timeout says me:
Error writing remote file (2)
and smbclient does not exits.
putting short binary files ( < 512 bytes ) works.
but even when sending text files,
sometimes the smbclient dumps core !!!!
you can find one of my core files at
http://www.gardena.net/benno/smbclient_core.gz
I made the same tests with
smbfs 2.0.2
after callling smbmount , the directory is mounted,
uploading text files works, and with binary the
cp process hangs, and I must kill -9 the process.
Are these problems perhaps caused from the
win NT4 machine ?
PLEASE REPLY BY E-MAIL TOO, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T
SUBSCRIBED TO THE SAMBA MAILING-LISTS.
thank you for all the help.
best regards,
Benno.
