[Samba] changing kickoff time

OK Progress, MAYBE!?

I know my web server is inaccessible, but let's move on from that...
that is an issue for another day.

At a log level 3, currently, I get the following sequence repeating
itself about 164 times per second. In that sequence it appears to
be closing 2 directories with incrementing fnum's

So what is smbd/reply.c:reply_close(4343) close directory fnum=xxxx?

that is about the only thing that changes besides the
transaction number.

I'm not sure where the pattern starts/stop but the following is
CLEARLY repeating itself at a high rate of speed.

Not enough detail. Get a log level 10 plus a wireshark trace please.

Since it might be the same problem I'm having, I have those available on the
bugzilla page ( https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6782)

No, your trace doesn't look anything like his problem (I just
looked). Your trace shows a DFS referral request for a truncated
network path, not a repeating findfirst pattern.

Not that a matters, remember I have my non-working work around
in place where I inserted a "roo" share. It may change things
because I am not getting that recurring " couldn't find service
roo" anymore which was looking for a truncated service name.
DFS problems does however sound like a different ball game...IDK

I will make that level 10 and wireshark trace available....

Can I attach those to an email to the samba list or should
I post to bugzilla?

If you're not using DFS then try setting "host msdfs = no" and
rebooting the clients. I'm guessing this may make a difference.

This also fits with my earlier effort to add a new user on
the windoze and bsd side which didn't have all the links back
and forth. That effort with the new user didn't produce all
the spamming.

Well don't hold me to it, but I may have solved it!

Was trying to reproduce it but that failed....grrr
Will keep trying after all this...for the benefit of all

anywho....here is / was the thing

my homes is set to

[homes]
comment = Home directory for %u on %h
browseable = no
writable = yes
path = /usr/home/%u/Documents
valid users = %S

I had /usr/home/root as a symbolic link pointing back to
/root

then I had /root/Documents as a symbolic link pointing
to /usr/samba-shares/file-server3/root/Documents

should be ok? at least I thought so

well so far so good (crosses fingers) I deleted the
/usr/home/root symbolic link to /root and made a real
directory there named root, then I created a symbolic link
there named Documents to /usr/samba-shares/file-server3/Documents

ohh and if ya missed it I moved
/usr/samba-shares/file-server3/root/Documents
to /usr/samba-shares/file-server3/Documents

and also somewhere in there I renamed "old root home" to "old-root-home"

BAMMM near as I can tell no one is spamming any more

Yawns! time will tell if I fixed it, but would sure like to reproduce it!

This hasn't made any difference for me, I'm still getting the "couldn't find
serviced" truncated message

Did you reboot the client ? Until you do it'll still think
the Samba server is a dfs host.

The one client I tested was rebooted (it affects all of the 50 or so client
machines that I run) - I'll look tomorrow into disabling DFS via group
policy also on the client side (if that's possible even).
