A1200 crashes with samba

[amiga4001]

Fiddling around with samba to connect two amiga's.
One is a A4000 with mediator/fastethernet and the other is a A1200D with 3com pcmcia networkcard.
Both are using amigaos 3.9 allthough the 1200 has no boingbags yet.
Also both are using genesis as miamidx refuses to work with staic Ip somehow.
Samba is working as I already transferred some files over the network from A4000 to A1200 no problem.
As soon as I call the smbclient from A4000 to list the shares on the 1200 harddisk starts to read sometime and then computer crashes with software guru.
Anybody had this before??
Also what is best program to use with samba so I don't have to type all in a shell.
Tango doesn't work here catalog problem?

Have you tried SMBFS. It mounts samba shares so any 'Amiga side' program can access files on them.

Can't help with the other problem though, once I got it working I got into 'If ain't broke, don't touch it' mode.
 The AmigaSamba Yahoo Group is still active, maybe someone's already come across the same problem there.

@amiga4001:

If you want to share drives between two Amigas, it would be much easier to use netfs, which also will consume much less resources and be faster.

Actually, you will find the latest version of netfs inside the AmiTCP 4.0 demo archive.

Increase stack size. All those Linux ports need huge amounts of stack. Use 50000 or 100000 bytes stack. For all components of Samba (so you also have to use this stack for Genesis which calls smbd and nmbd).

Seems the crash was caused by a wrong install somewhere?
Reinstalled the samba package and it is working nicely now.
Using smbfs for handling of the files.
Quite nice and with a decent speed.
Now only if I now what I was doing al along with all these parameters in genesis.
Like Inet/services etc..
Anyone can recommend a good guide for these tcp settings??
Just want to know what I am doing.

try this amitcp 3.0b2 guide maybe will help in some point.

you might find this http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/speed.html useful too - for various settings in Samba itself. I did.
