[Samba] MS Access and Samba Problem

[Matt Lung]

hello,

I hope someone can help me with this problem because it is really unique

and odd... or at least it seems to me.  I can't find any references
anywhere as to anyone else having the same trouble.

Here is the story:

I have a machine running RH 7.1 and samba 2.2.3a as our PDC for the
Network.  This box also serves other purposes such as Name server, dhcp
server, internal web server, and LDAP server to name a few.  All of our
users athenticate to the PDC via LDAP and not a local /etc/passwd file.
That all works great.

The problem:

We also have another Samba server running RH 7.1 and Samba 2.2.3a and
that is our database server.  The database is on a share and can be seen

and ran from client machines on the network.  The samba server running
the
databases is set up to security = Server, and the Password server = PDC.

That all seems to work fine, but only for 10-15 minute periods.  I can
fire up the database and have it function fine for that period of time
and then all of a sudden it stops functioning and is dropped by samba.
The database then returns with the message "disk or network error".
This is not good.

The wierd part:

If I move the database off the database server and onto the PDC and run
it off of their from a client, it funtions perfectly.  That samba server

doesn't drop the connection after 10 minutes.  It works forever.
Can this maybe be an LDAP and Samba problem???

If anyone can give me some insight as to why this may be happening I
would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your time...
