Samba always crash
 

Im maintaning a small network using a fedora 3 server with samba and cups for printing. Problem is, samba almost always stop after sometime. The next day when i get back to the office, the samba is no longer running.

A simple smb restart makes samba up and running again but then the cycle continues. My suspicion is that theres a corrupt file somewhere. Either samba, cups, or the printer drivers. This is the log of smbd.

Ive already updated samba (as shown in the log) and cups. Im particularly interested in the tdb error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have had problems (in the past) with the samba packages as supplied by Red Hat / Fedora. I now build my own from the main source rpm from kernel.org and have no problems.
