session request failed

[Dave Perkins]

Hi,

I'm running Samba 2.0.5 on RedHat 6.1.

Suddenly session request began to fail when attempting to connect using
smbclient:

session request to SERVER failed
session request to *SMBSERVER failed

I had been connecting successfully for a number of days prior.  No changes
were explicitly made to the Samba configuration.  A search of the Samba
list archive revealed that others have run into similar problems.
Diagnosis.txt has a number of suggestions, none of which are applicable.
Other documentation points to an error internal to Samba, but offers no
fix.  Any thoughts that might assist in addressing this problem would be
greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Dave
