[Samba] kicked users and login troubles (write failure in writing to client and Connection reset by peer)

[Thijs Hakkenberg]

Hi List,

One particular user is kicked quite often (espescially during the usage 
of Outlook). When she tries to login she isn't very succesfull. The 
serverlog show this:

Jul 13 10:41:14 server smbd[12277]: [2006/07/13 10:41:14, 0] 
lib/util_sock.c:write_data(554)
Jul 13 10:41:14 server smbd[12277]:   write_data: write failure in 
writing to client 192.168.1.101. Error Connection reset by peer
Jul 13 10:41:14 server smbd[12277]: [2006/07/13 10:41:14, 0] 
lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(762)
Jul 13 10:41:14 server smbd[12277]:   Error writing 61503 bytes to 
client. -1. (Connection reset by peer)

I've tried disabling the oplocks; because I suspect the problem lies 
herein. However; reloading the config file gives me these errors:

Jul 13 10:48:36 server smbd[9426]: [2006/07/13 10:48:36, 0]

my global section of smb.conf:

[global]
   workgroup = sophia
   printing = cups
   printcap name = cups
   printcap cache time = 750
   cups options = raw
   map to guest = Bad User
   include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
   logon path = \\%N\profiles\.msprofile
   logon home = \\%N\%U
   logon drive = W:
   logon script = logon.bat
   security = user
   encrypt passwords = yes
   passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost smbpasswd
   ldap admin dn = cn=Administrator,dc=sophia
   ldap suffix = dc=sophia
   ldap group suffix = ou=group
   ldap user suffix = ou=people
   add machine script = /sbin/yast /usr/share/YaST2/data/add_machine.ycp %m$
   domain logons = yes
   idmap backend = ldap:ldap://localhost
   ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
   ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
   local master = yes
   wins support = yes
   netbios name = server
   domain master = yes
   preferred master = yes
   os level = 65
        oplocks = No
        level2 oplocks = no
        kernel oplocks = no


Anyone any ideas? It has been suggested that the hardware could be 
defect, but it's strange because only one user suffers from these problems.
ifconfig offers this information:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:6E:10:DE:84
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:269696 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:478580 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:7
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:54893197 (52.3 Mb)  TX bytes:420965181 (401.4 Mb)
          Interrupt:10

So there are a few carrier's. Could this be related?
