Samba grief with Windows 7 / Active Directory

[Howard White]

Have a customer with Samba 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1. The desktops are
Windows 7 64bit Pro. They have some Active Directory server and an
Exchange server (may be the same box, don't know). Not really trying to
have the linux server "join" the domain.

We have users configured to connect to a share /nfs and it is working.
Trying to add another user and the connection is consistently refused.

I turned on logging:
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log #this works
syslog = 0
vfs objects = full_audit

The error message that recurs in the %m.log is:
read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn. Error
= Connection reset by peer.

I followed other google entries that instruct us to change security
policies on the Windows desktop but now I get more choice than expected
and none of them solve the problem.

Help????

Thanks for asking (and thank you, David, for the comments about AVG).

Where this stands at the moment is that all the other computers at the
site are able to connect to the linux share. Using a different login on
the offending desktop did not change the outcome. Then it comes out
that there had been malware on this desktop a couple of months ago.
Problem is now back in the hands of the network support contractor -
malware not completely removed, mitigated.

Fortunately, it is out of your hands. Sorry I was not aware in time to help. Keep us/me posted. I have an interest in linux /  Exchange server.
