Samba and Out Of Connection Structures on Solaris (again)

[Gunther Hess]

Hi Richard,
           while i am our local samba guru, i consider myself
not a real one, so sorry somehow this rather a request for 
help/information than some aid to you.

- I tried running a Samba 2.2.2 configured as PDC on an E220
  with Solaris 8. (Samba from ftp-site, compiler gcc)

- It failed badly, when the number of Users/Clients exceeded 200.

- It failed on Solaris 2.6 (UE3000) too, with the common symptom:

  - Enormous Overload of the system (Load-Indicater > 64)

  - Samba 2.0.6 worked and works just fine, (The system is 
    almost idle)

  - on other oddity, i am using:

    log file                = /var/samba/log/%M.%m

    and with samba-2.2.2 (in the PDC-configuration, i am running
    other samba-2.2.2's without obvious problems) i get log-files
    like this:

samba/log> more 0.0.0.0.pc2863
[2002/01/07 09:10:32, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_socket_addr(1038)
  getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
[2002/01/07 09:10:50, 0] smbd/connection.c:yield_connection(63)
  yield_connection: tdb_delete for name  failed with error Record does not exist

    i can interpret this as a result of the overload (the client has disconnected
    up, due to timeout)

I feel beeing far away from the limits you mentioned, but i considered your 
hints very helpful. Nevertheless i am strongly interested in more information
about your workload and configuration of your system (and could provide the same,
if you wish). I have checked for the errors you mentioned
in the logs: they don't occur.


Regards & Good Luck
