Hi All,

I hope someone can help me with this problem. I recently moved my Windows Print server to Linux (Red Hat 9.0, Samba 3.0.2) due to stability problems, however since i had a constant smbd panics I reverted back to my Windows 2000 server much to the disappointment of my manager and director. Having posted to this list someone suggested an upgrade to 3.0.3pre2 which solved their issues, I have now tried this and the problem would appear to keep returning. I have the server configured, and running in a test environment and all is well, I started loading my print drivers on, and checking my syslog revealed that the smbd was yet again panicing and bombing out with the following message:-

I understand that 3.0.3pre2 is a development version but I would appreciate some feed back on this issue, any suggestions to what may be causing it and any ideas as to how I can solve it.

Thanks All
