Change IP address with Samba

[pfilippone]

SCO 5.0.4

Changed the IP address this way:
(1) edit /etc/hosts
(2) scoadmin ->networks -> modify protocol
(3) Relink kernel, reboot.

All seemed well. Then, after less than a day, system crashes, reporting "Out of Streams resources". System crashes reliably everyday with same error. No other changes were made.

Increasing STREAMS, NSTRPAGES parameters does not help.


*** UPDATE ***

I discovered that the /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf and /usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts files were still pointing to old IP address. So I updated them. Still waiting to see if that resolves it.

Could this have been the cause of the "Out of Streams" crashes????

Those threads point to a bug in Samba.

The system and Samba was working fine until the IP address change.

How could the bug "come alive" all of a sudden?

thanks
