i've got a combo of samba (1.9.18p4), netatalk (1.4b2) and freebsd 2.2.5 acting as a fileserver for about 50 workstations (about 3:1 PC to mac). after upgrading to 1.9.18p4 everthing has been fine for the PCs. however the macs are having weird problems. i did install the one patch to make netatalk work at all. and for a while everything seemed ok. but now, some people can't connect at all until i've stopped and started netatalk, or if they have successfully connected, then crash, they can't get back on. what's weirder is that if person A is unable to connect (the error is something like "server is unavailable. try again later"), person B can try and be successful. ??? i can't say the mac problem happened at the exactly same time as when i upgraded to samba 1.9.18p4, but it didn't exist before, and now it does... i've noticed that samba will occasionally give someone trying to connect an error like "network is busy" but if i try 3,4,5 times in a row, it eventually works.. the same kind of persistence does not work with netatalk. the macs are all running OS8 and i saw a patch for that (the dancing icons patch) which i will install tonight. is that my problem? i guess i'll see... but also, occasionally upon returning to my seat i'll see messages like these on the console: Apr 27 19:00:53 mymachine afpd[11609]: flushfork:dfile:Bad file descriptor Apr 27 19:00:53 mymachine afpd[11609]: of_flush: Bad file descriptor Apr 27 19:00:53 mymachine afpd[11609]: afp_closefork:ad_close:Bad file descriptor help please, beth beth@sassy.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
