[Samba] Problems since upgrading 2.2 to 3

[Alex Meaden]

Hello,
I am running Debian on an i386 machine. I recently upgraded to Debian 
Testing, which upgraded Samba from 2.2 to 3.0.2. Since then, I have been 
having several problems. The Samba server is used as a PDC for Windows 
XP Pro. clients. Sometimes (often) when users log on, they get an error 
about a single file in their profile not being able to be copied to 
their local profile, and then a message saying that their server profile 
cannot be found. Whenever this occurs, the following appears in 
/var/log/smbd:

[2004/03/02 20:47:31, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(952)
  getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

This problem also occurs when the server is otherwise being used - it is 
noticeable in that the Windows clients freeze for roughly 30 seconds 
whilst attempting to access the server. The above error message also 
appears in the log.

Secondly, printers shared by the server (using CUPS as printer system), 
have the tendancy to "disappear" from being shared after a week or so; 
they reappear if smbd is restarted.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
