Guys ... Been racking my brains out past 3 days till now. Here's the background: I have migrated my Old Samba (rhel4) server to the New Samba (rhel5) server. Rsynced the data across. NO issue. New Server, using Old server's smb.conf, smbpasswd, as well as ported over passwd, group, shadow files. Hostname , IP, etc has been changed to Old server's settings before SMB service is started. Apparently, it works, BUT the access to it, is slow, latency can be felt. And thru the logs, i initially do see "tdb errors" [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 2] lib/util_tdb.c:tdb_log(664) tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/registry.tdb: No such file or directory [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 2] lib/util_tdb.c:tdb_log(664) tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/account_policy.tdb: No such file or directory [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 1 (min password length), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 2 (password history), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 3 (user must logon to change password), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 4 (maximum password age), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 5 (minimum password age), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 6 (lockout duration), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 7 (reset count minutes), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 8 (bad lockout attempt), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 9 (disconnect time), returning 0 [2010/07/15 11:52:02, 1] lib/account_pol.c:account_policy_get(286) account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 10 (refuse machine password change), returning 0 Individual log files can be seen with alot of the following: yield_connection: tdb_delete for name "example: SHAREFOLDER NAME" failed with error Record does not exist. Till now those errors are not reflected, but still slow and latency felt. Not sure, it's anything to do with the TDB files? What will happen if i chose to stop the SMB service, and remove the TDB files to let it regenerate a new set? Any advice is really really appreciated, and thanks in advance =) With Regards, re\/non -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
