nmbd from inetd
Hello!
I've installed the samba packages on my server.
Today someone startet his win95 network client and my server responds with
starting nmbd (as told from inetd.conf) then it gave some exit status 0x1 and
flooded the system. Some time later, I've not been at home during this, the
system wrote that it ran out of memory on the shell and I could not login
anymore. Even not from network. Just reboot helped me out :-((
This is from /var/log/syslog:
Jul 1 11:20:22 julia nmbd[2789]: connect from 192.168.76.4
Jul 1 11:20:22 julia inetd[2757]: /usr/sbin/tcp: exit status 0x1
...
repeated many times. then:
Jul 1 11:20:24 julia inetd[2757]: netbios-ns/udp server failing (looping),
service terminated
10 minutes later the same again...
Jul 1 11:30:35 julia nmbd[2867]: connect from 192.168.76.2
Jul 1 11:30:35 julia inetd[2757]: /usr/sbin/tcpd: exit status 0x1
...
reapeted many times...
This continues for some hours every 10 minutes...
Then:
Jul 1 14:02:42 julia kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 2455 (apache).
even this a few times. But nothing else goes anymore...
Notice:
- 192.168.76.4 is the win95 compi from my neighbour.
- 192.168.76.2 is my debian/testing box.
- julia is running testing as well.
- both debian/testing boxes do have kernel 2.4.2
- julia is configured as preferred master, local master and domain master.
- my debian/testing box is not, but has running samba-suite
What is going wrong here. What do I have to change to get it work properly.
Can anyone advise me somehow?
(btw: in man nmbd under -D stands: running from inetd is possible but not
recommended! Why is it started from inetd in debian? Or am I wrong here?)
