I am running kernel 2.4.23, with samba 3.0.2, build with the ebuild. The following is my config (copied from a post on the forum), it's meant to be as simple as possible.

Code:

[global]
workgroup =  WORKGROUP
netbios name = gary
server string = Powered by Linux.
security = SHARE
log file = /var/log/samba.log
max log size       = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

[Storage]
path = /tmp
read only = No
guest ok = Yes


The problem is, accessing samba from gentoo itself is fine. But whenever a windows xp machine access the samba, the whole gentoo freezes and lockup. Any ideas? (I'm happy to provide any needed information). Thanks

I'd suggest using

security = user

There's some good advice about this here...

http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/howto/ServerType.html#id2515383

In essence, share level security has been reported to cause problems, and the samba team strongly recommends against using it.
