SYMPTOMS
When you perform a Site Server Search file crawl of a UNIX workstation using the Samba software suite to implement the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, you may receive the following error message:

Error fetching URL, (8007006d - The pipe has been ended. )

Error Code: -2147024787"



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Samba does not support the GetFileSecurity remote API. This results in file crawls not working properly due to improper handling of the ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED error that is returned.
