FW: Problems with samba

[Derek Lai]

I inherited the administration of a HP-UX system that is running Samba
version 2.2.3a. It's been running pretty well.

One of the developer that I support is using running a job daily that puts 3
files on a Windows server using smbclient. It's been working well for a
while. However, all of a sudden last week we had trouble on 2 days where
cmbclient put command failed - it created the file but it is of zero length.
The message we get actually says "Succcess" - see below. Anyone has any
ideas? Does smbclient generate any log file or has option for generating log
file? The job has since been running great. Just want to know how to
trouble-shoot this.


Thanks,

Derek
