Noticed a problem with my samba server the other day and have yet to figure it what is happening. The server has been running fine for many months, but the other day, I tried to access it from a Win98 box without success, I looked at the samba server to see what was happening, and the samba was not running, so I started it, smb status shows that is was running fine, I returned to the Win98 box and samba still not working, return to the samba server and smb status shows that it is NOT running, a restart of the samba server gets it running again, but then with 2 minutes it is NOT running! Anyone have any idea what I should be looking for to solve this unusual problem? thanks ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
