[Samba] Samba seems to cause complete server crash

[Steve Freeman]

Hi all,

I have done some extensive searching, and drawn a blank so far...

Nothing odd is reported in samba logs, or in the syslog file.

However, if I try to play an avi straight off the samba server, on an XP 
client with MP10, it brings the whole deal to its knees after a few mins at 
the most. I have to hard reset the server.

Other than this, all my other uses are flawless (game server, dhcp, 
firewall, teamspeak, peerguardian... etc).

I don't _think_ its a firewall problem, as all internal traffic is ACCEPTED 
by default, and I don't have a permissions problem or any browsing errors... 
it just dies when I play a video?!

I'm using FC4, with samba V3.0

If anyone has any suggestions on where to go from here, I would be very 
grateful.

Other than this, everything is rosy.

Mike F
