[Samba] Error in message logs with samba-3.0.14a-2

[Gabriel Matthews]

Okay, here's the background.

Fedora Core 4, all recent updates.  Using samba-3.0.14a-2.  Trying to 
mount a remote shared folder, and sharing it for local users in my 
office.  Using /etc/fstab to auto-mount it on bootup.

Here is the /etc/fstab line that I use to do this:
//share/ccc  /gobo  smbfs 
username=XXXXX,password=XXXXXX,uid=10395,gid=30038,fmask=770,dmask=770  0  0

I use winbind to sync with our windows domain (nt, not kerberos yet).

Here is a quick & dirty copy of my /etc/samba/smb.conf file.

[global]
         log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
         load printers = No
         ldap ssl = no
         idmap gid = 30000-40000
         admin users = CT01\gabriel
         wins server = 172.16.64.4
         domain master = No
         show add printer wizard = No
         dns proxy = No
         password server = ANAKIN
         idmap uid = 10000-20000
         workgroup = CT01
         os level = 20
         security = domain
         max log size = 50
         log level = 1
         logon path = /home/$U
         template shell = /bin/bash

[CCC$]
         path = /gobo
         read only = no

The error I'm concerned about in the logs is this:

Oct 18 09:36:50 mithrandir smbd[8168]: [2005/10/18 09:36:50, 0] 
lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(430)

failure. Error = Connection reset by peer

Oct 18 09:36:50 mithrandir smbd[8168]:   write_socket: Error writing 4 
bytes to socket 5: ERRNO = Connection reset by peer

Oct 18 09:36:50 mithrandir smbd[8168]:   Error writing 4 bytes to 
client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

I see that when I just browse to the linux server, and not even open up 
a share.  Just typing \\mithrandir in my explorer window causes that 
error to appear.  The mounted shared folder works okay, except for the 
fact that it loses its connection every now and then and I have to 
remount it.  Not sure if that problem is related to this error or not.

I've checked a bit online, and I have seen plenty of questions posted in 
various places about people asking what that error means, but I haven't 
ever found an answer or explanation.  Could someone please shed some 
light on this for me?  Thanks!
