Problems with smbclient

[Karlheinz Langguth]

Hi,

I am using a Linux client (SuSE Linux 7.0 with 2.2.16 kernel) within our
Windows network. This is experimental and my private initiative so I am
not supposed to count on the help of my network administrators (and they
are not supposed to know about it). Anyway I had no problems accessing
shares with smbclient. This changed a week ago for unknown reasons.
Connecting to the share still works, but an 'ls' ends up in an error
message. The share itself is still accessable from Windows clients. What
happens is:

bash-2.04# smbclient //fthw002x/temp_pt1 -U<user> -W<workgroup>
added interface ip=x.y.203.3 bcast=x.y.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0

NetLink]
smb: \> ls
code 0 listing \*
Error in dskattr: code 0
smb: \> read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error =
Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe).


I have also used the -dA option to get a detailed trace log. I have
attached a part of the log. Please mind that it is shortened trastically
but I think the most important section is available.

Help is very much appreciated,
Karlheinz
