I'm not big on replying to myself but I wanted to at least in case somebody else ever runs into this problem.
After trying to recreate the issue we discovered that there was a link that someone had placed in the filesystem that went through the WAN to a now defunct machine. After removing the link everything is running better than ever. I'd like to take the time to thank the only person that tried to help me over the last few weeks...Thierry ITTY.

Since I've had so much trouble with it I compiled 2.2.4 with GCC on the server and it didn't do any good. Grasping for straws I had our netadmin come over and help me interpet what kinds of errors we were receiving. The symptom of the problem first off is that when the clients are browsing the shares they initially take 30-60 seconds to come up (if even at all). Everything works fine once connected (but is still way too slow). I was hoping that some common issues could be detected from at least some of these errors so that I can try to get this sorted out. Any information on any part of this would be helpful, really. Here are some of the notes from our pow-wow...this is traffic between my client and the server while trying to open up a share off of the samba server. ------------------------ no such file desktop.ini srvsvc starts account was null and the domain was null dest AIX -> source ing-nt-dc Negotiated connected disconnected .02 seconds later pulled desktop.ini ACK took too long to respond possibly insufficient buffer space on one side or the other 2 alerts WINS lookup performed tried to connect null again tried to to connect ing-nt-dc/IPC$ tried to pull netlogon -> SUCCESS RPC 5.0 BIND Lots of peramaters transferred netlogon called -> requests challange three way handshake request and response connects and disconnects. Some NetBIOS traffic is detected but cannon be encoded at the same time/soon after we get a window frozen error Then oddly enough a NetBIOS session request and confirmation negotiation begins connection is made to share as proper user WINS traffic TCP stuff NETBIOS 76 bytes of user data confirms session Negotiates anon three way handshake is asked for again and then closes down ----------------- # Global parameters [global] client code page = 437 code page directory = /usr/local/lib/codepages workgroup = OURDOMAINNAME netbios name = THESERVERNAME server string = Samba %v interfaces = 208.1.175.144/255.255.255.128 security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes password server = OURPDC OURBDC ANOTHERBDC smb passwd file = /var/samba/private/smbpasswd passwd program = /bin/yppasswd username map = /usr/local/lib/users.map unix password sync = Yes log file = /var/samba/log/log.%m max log size = 50 name resolve order = wins host bcast deadtime = 15 max disk size = 7199 socket options = TCP_NODELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=32768 SO_RCVBUF=32768 load printers = No logon path = logon home = local master = No domain master = False wins server = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (a valid WINS server) lock dir = /var/samba/locks pid directory = /var/samba/pid socket address = homedir map = admin users = Administrator, ntadmin create mask = 0755 force create mode = 0755 [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [DATA] comment = CPIPT DATA DIRECTORY path = /home/data read only = No inherit permissions = Yes [DOCS] comment = CPIPT DOCS path = /usr/catia/doc ---------------- I did see that there was a reccomendation to run smbd somewhere other than inetd. I'd like to script it something like Linux but the rc files are set up differently. If there is anybody that has set this up on AIX I would be interested to see how.
