[Samba] invalid argument when connecting to password server

Hi all,
I've just installed Samba 2.0.7 on an AIX 4.3.2 box. I was keeping it
pretty simple -- one share, no valid user lines yet -- but I was still
having trouble with authentication when trying to access a share from an
NT box or when running smbclient from the command line.
I tracked it as far as the logs, where I see
[2002/02/12 11:19:11, 1] lib/util_sock.c:open_socket_out(936)
error connecting to 10.xxx.yyy.zzz:139 (Invalid argument)
(where the 10.. is the correct IP for the NT password server in
smb.conf)
[2002/02/12 11:19:11, 0] smbd/password.c:server_cryptkey(1025)
password server not available
[2002/02/12 11:19:15, 1] smbd/password.c:server_validate(1069)
password server is not connected
where the last line has 2 spaces between "server" and "is" as if there
is supposed to be some variable for the password server but which is
null instead.
What is the incorrect argument in the log file? Any ideas on whether
the problem is with how I configured Samba, or if it's on the NT side?
The problem happens more often than not; only about 1 out of every 8
attempts to connect to the password server succeeds.
Here's my smb.conf:
# Date: 2002/02/11 14:28:35
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = NSCORP
netbios name = SNOOPYE1
netbios aliases = SNOOPY
server string = Snoopy
security = SERVER
encrypt passwords = Yes
null passwords = Yes
password server = NTPASSWDS
password level = 16
username level = 16
log file = /var/samba/log/log.%m
max log size = 50
load printers = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /tmp
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
[pvcs]
comment = pvcs
path = /pvcs
writeable = Yes
I'd appreciate any suggestions.....
Thanks,
Angela
