  • smbd[25990]: open_socket_in(): setsockopt: SO_REUSEPORT = true on port 445 failed with error = Protocol not available

    Posted on

    Hi,

    I have set up a share using user authentication.

    Samba seems to work fine but I see the error below in the console and logs.

    smbd[25990]: open_socket_in(): setsockopt: SO_REUSEPORT = true on port 445 failed with error = Protocol not available

    What does this mean?

    My samba config is as follows:

    [root@mymachine samba]# cat smb.conf
    [global]
    netbios name = BigMachine
    server string = SomeMachine
    workgroup = MyTest
    security = user
    encrypt passwords = yes
    map to guest = bad user
    guest account = nobody

    [workspace]
    valid users = myuser
    path = /testingthis/
    read only = no
    guest ok = yes
    [root@mymachine samba]#

    Thanks,

    by
