[Samba] oplock problems

[Brian Johnson]

I've been using Samba mostly succesfully for my Linux box serving Win9x machines for
a couple of years now

In the last few days I've been getting all sorts of connectivity problems

Most of the errors in the samba log files are like:
[2003/02/06 09:54:16, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(684)
  oplock_break: ERROR: oplock_break already sent for file docs/2002/200250/2500 Sow
Unit/a1.dwg (dev = 1641, inode = 1131698, file_id = 211385)
[2003/02/06 09:54:16, 0] smbd/open.c:open_mode_check(599)
  open_mode_check: FAILED when breaking oplock (3) on file
/home/docs/2002/200250/2500 Sow Unit/a1.dwg, dev = 1641, inode = 1131698


This is what is in nmbd.log for the same time period:
[2003/02/06 08:33:42, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_get_backup_list_request(709)
  process_get_backup_list_request: domain list requested for workgroup JOHNSON and I
am not a local master browser.
[2003/02/06 09:51:00, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_get_backup_list_request(709)
  process_get_backup_list_request: domain list requested for workgroup JOHNSON and I
am not a local master browser.

smbd.log isn't showing any errors


I haven't touched the config files but I was playing with installing/using apt-get
(on my Redhat server) and if I remember correctly it upgraded the samba package ...
it is now:
samba-client-2.2.7-1.7.3
samba-2.2.7-1.7.3
samba-common-2.2.7-1.7.3


I also switched the position of two autosensing 10/100 hubs on the network - but I
don't think that would be the problem


Any ideas?
