You can not expect a version of samba produced over 5 years ago to
work with vista. Upgrade to 3.3.9 or 3.4.2.

Likewise:

Situation:

I'm seeing lots (~500k per day) of log entries like:
smbd[13939]: itlab-pc06 (::ffff:10.51.51.103) couldn't find service it261

In this case, the last character of the request is truncated - it should be
it2610

I'm seeing the same/similar issue to
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-March/147277.html
And
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-October/150998.html

I've dismissed this over the last few weeks as a minor inconvenience, but
I'm now convinced that it's affecting the performance of the Windows client
machines that are connecting to it - a 30 second operation on local disk,
takes upwards of 5 mins over a network connection, generating thousands of
entries similar to the above.

This isn't unique - over the last 16 business hours (it's in a lab in a
university dept.), there have been ~900k similar entries. It's also not just
for this particular share, it's on all of the "home" shares that have been
accessed, and also all of the 4 "defined" shares in smb.conf. Also, it's
across many different hosts, and affecting different Windows OS's. My
primary testing has been using Windows7 - I have a lab of 33 machines with
this OS, but I believe I've also seen this from Windows XP and Vista hosts.

Shares on turing - Dell PE2950 connected to Equalogic PS6000 via iSCSI, 1TB
volume formatted EXT3 for /content and seperate 1TB EXT3 volume for
/students

[it2610]
comment = "IT2610 AV1"
path = /content/it/it2610
writable = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0604
directory mask = 0704

Also, it's not restricted to this particular host:
Turing (RHEL5) - tried versions samba-3.0.33-3.14.el5 samba3x-3.3.5-0.40.el5
Babbage (RHEL4) exhibits the same, samba-3.0.33-0.17.el4

Babbage which has higher use (in the last 48 hours), has seen a total of 150
different host/service combinations from the logs, across different networks
with different clients and different OS's.

OK, Since we last spoke I built a new server, installed FBSD 7.2 and
installed the samba package 3.3.3 and the results were the same. The new
server is still being flooded with:

Literally 500K log files in a few seconds. Its modern hardware with a intel
Atom processor and so forth and its spending 24% processor time filling out
logs.

John suggest 3.3.8 and I realized I was at 3.3.3 so I upgraded samba to
3.3.8 and got the same result!

So I have had version 3.0.something (older FBSD implementation) through
3.3.8 running (7.2 FBSD implementation) and all of them are being flooded by
vista. Ya ya I know...blame Gates, but there must be a fix here some place?

thanks for your help in advance.

Brian

Please update your version of Samba to at 3.3.8 or later (preferably
3.4.2 or later).

Samba-3.4.2 is a whole different animal from 3.0.7 - life has moved on.

Vista is also a whole different animal than XP and requires the later
Samba releases for smooth interoperability.
