Invalid key given to dptr_close / NT error 3013

[Juergen Bock]

Hi everybody,

although I'm not a member of this list, I'd like to address the 
following problem here. Maybe someone is familiar with 
it or knows how to solve it. He or she would save my sanity.

We have a samba 2.05a server on a solaris 2.6 box. It works as file 
and program server. Once or twice a day some of our clients 
receive a redirector timeout, error code 3013. The error message is 
'The redirector has timed out a request to SERVER'. That brings a 
Doc Watson for the Office stuff and the programs (from the server) 
crash. This leads to phone calls from angry users :-(
The samba log shows the error message "invalid key ### given to dptr_close"
at the same time the NT machines get the error.

It happens on NT4 SP3 and SP4 clients where people use lots of 
programs like office, pegasus, scheduler, access database all 
shared from the server at once. 

I tried playing with rdr registry values (as described in 
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q163/4/01.asp), no luck.

So, has anybody stumbled across this problem? Is there a fix? 
What's this dptr_close stuff for anyway?
If you need more information, please let me know.


Thanks a lot
Juergen
