We recently upgraded one of our AIX servers (AIX 4.3.3 on new hardware), on
which we share documents via a SAMBA share, the samba version is at 2.0.6.
Since that upgrade I have been getting calls from clients on multiple
subnets having difficulty connecting, slow download/upload speeds, and
getting their Microsoft domain accounts locked up. Upon review the log
files for those complaining, I see multiple entries of:
[2002/10/14 09:24:38, 1] smbd/password.c:server_validate(1127)
password server PW_SERVER rejected the password
[2002/10/14 09:24:38, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:startsmbfilepwent(50)
startsmbfilepwent: unable to open file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
[2002/10/14 09:24:38, 0] passdb/passdb.c:iterate_getsmbpwnam(147)
unable to open smb password database.
[2002/10/14 09:24:38, 0] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(771)
NT Password did not match ! Defaulting to Lanman
[2002/10/14 09:24:38, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:startsmbfilepwent(50)
startsmbfilepwent: unable to open file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
[2002/10/14 09:24:38, 0] passdb/passdb.c:iterate_getsmbpwnam(147)
unable to open smb password database.
It will repeat these messages quite a number of times and sometimes will
connect them up with the default user account (NOBODY), sometimes lock up
their account; or they client will give up the attempt.
Then they may try again later and get connected immediately - this is the
part that has me very confused.
[2002/10/14 11:33:09, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(488)
PC-NAME (123.123.123.123) connect to service IMAGES as user johndoe
(uid=999
9, gid=999) (pid 48446)
[2002/10/14 11:38:31, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(514)
PC-NAME (123.123.123.123) closed connection to service IMAGES
Is it just a contention issue?
Here is the relevant part of my smb.conf:
[global]
printing = aix
printcap name = /etc/qconfig
load printers = no
dead time=10
print command = lpr -r -h -P %p %s
password server=cgownt01
security=server
comment = Unix Server
guest account = nobody
workgroup=nppdnet
remote announce= 161.201.16.255
wins server =161.201.16.10
hosts allow = 161.201. localhost
interfaces = 161.201.16.7/24
server string=%h SMB file services
domain master=no
local master=no
preferred master=no
log file = /usr/local/samba/log/log.%U
log level = 1
max log size = 50
[IMAGES]
comment = Unidata Images directory
path = /IMAGES
preserve case = no
default case=upper
public = yes
browseable = yes
read only = no
printable = no
force directory mode=0775
create mask = 0664
write list=@uniprod
The problem seems to be growing worse (or people are just being more vocal
in voicing their displeasure).
I've read through the documentation and have been watching the mail list for
a while now and haven't come any closer to resolving the issue. Any help
would be appreciated.
