Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am writing to share my experience with this samba error on FreeBSD
2.2.7-STABLE
Session request failed (0,0) with myname=TSITC2 destname=TSITC
Unspecified error 0x0
Your server software is being unfriendly
When the server is running in debug mode (-d3 or more) it logs
1998/11/28 11:43:51 changed root to /
open_oplock_ipc: opening loopback UDP socket.
open_oplock_ipc: Failed to get local UDP socket for address 100007f. Error
was C
an't assign requested address
This message is generated by server.c when it trys to
oplock_sock = open_socket_in(SOCK_DGRAM, 0, 0, htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK));
if (oplock_sock == -1)
{
DEBUG(0,("open_oplock_ipc: Failed to get local UDP socket for \
address %x. Error was %s\n", htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK), strerror(errno)));
oplock_port = 0;
return(False);
which calls 'bind' in util.c
if (bind(res, (struct sockaddr * ) &sock,sizeof(sock)) < 0)
The samba documentation docs/DIAGNOSIS.txt suggests that this is a
nameserver problem
and to check resolv.conf, DNS configuration etc.
In this case the DNS was resolving both 127.0.0.1 (aka 1000007f) and the
servers name and
IP addresscorrectly.
Here, as is so often the case, rigourous adherence to first level problem
determination
(what has been changed ?) would have helped rather than fruitlessly
pursuing the
DNS stuff (change DNS, change
to hosts etc).
The server had been changed to a new Catalyst 2900 switch and the Intel PRO
FX card had
failed to work properly at 100 Mbps (characters typed to a telnet session
would take up to
10 seconds to echo; responses from the remote host were also delayed) so
its
media type had been changed to 10baseT/UTP.
In the process, the ifconfig for lo0 interface had been accidentally
commented out, so it had
no IP Address.
Restoring 127.0.0.1 to lo0 fixed it up.
Thank you,
Yours sincerely.
