Here at the Library, we are running a number of Red Hat Enterprise servers. About the time RHEL AS v.4 was released, we found that SMB filesharing between Red Hat machines and client machines was becoming very unreliable. We could not make shares available to any clients using the smbfs protocol, although clients (except for MS Clients) could mount/map shares with cifs. Until yesterday, our last RHEL AS v.3 server (all the rest are v.4) was able to share Samba shares; this capability broke yesterday after I installed a number of patches released by Red Hat, including a number of Samba patches. It appears that our RHEL AS v3 server is now afflicted with the same semi-fuctional Samba that plagues our v4 Red Hat boxes. Have any of you experienced this problem? And more importantly, has anyone come across a fix, work-around, hack or kludge to deal with this?
