Hello, We're running Samba V2.0.5a on a Digital Unix(T64)4.0e. We're having problems were a client (I assume) tries to make a connection to our server and the load on the server sky rockets. We can't seem to track down the client. In the samba log lists the following... Failed to set socket option SO_KEEPALIVE (Error Invalid argument) [2001/01/09 09:46:21, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(148) Failed to set socket option TCP_NODELAY (Error Invalid argument) [2001/01/09 09:46:22, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(148) Failed to set socket option SO_KEEPALIVE (Error Invalid argument) [2001/01/09 09:46:22, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(148) Failed to set socket option TCP_NODELAY (Error Invalid argument) [2001/01/09 09:46:22, 0] lib/util_sock.c:(1022) getpeername failed.

Exiting This happens around 3-4 times every SECOND. I can only assume that it's a client that doesn't understand these options. Could someone give me a clue as to what this means and, if possible how to get more info about the client?
