The "the semaphore timeout has expired" seems pretty significant. I bet it is related to the problem you have with your non-domain machines.

I would google it. In fact I did- one post mentioned wins. Another post mentioned digital signing - which should NOT be an issue with XP and current Samba versions.

My apologies for not including this information previously. I'm running CentOS 5.5 on Samba 3.3.8-0.52 and the machines are all XP Pro. Joining the machine to the domain is successful sporadically, but once the machine is joined, upon reboot and profile loading, it returns "the semaphore timeout has expired" and loads a temporary local profile.

I'm mapping the drives from My Computer and when it's working, credentials don't have to be specified because they're the same as the user's desktop login. However, when it fails and I'm prompted for login info, specifying domain\username or just username produces the same results. According to samba and ldap logs, these credentials are never passed to the server at that time.

    Which samba version?

    Are these XP Pro or XP Home machines.  If XP Pro, have you tried
    joining the machine to the domain?

    When you map a drive letter to a samba share from XP, are you
    using "LocalPC\yourname"  or "Domain\Yourname" when specifying
    credentials?

    Are you mapping the drive with Windows explorer or the "net" command?

        I currently have several fresh installs of XP that will
        connect to shares,
        but will not reconnect after a workstation reboot.  These are
        workstations
        that are not joined to the domain.  Only accessing shares from
        a local
        profile, but using the same user/pass to login as to connect
        to Samba.  I
        get various errors at that point.

        Upon reboot, attempting to access the share generates:

        "An error occurred while reconnecting Z: to \\domain-fs\business
        Microsoft Windows Network: The specified network name is no
        longer available
        This connection has not been restored."

        At which point, attempting to re-map the drive results in an
        authentication
        window, but no correct user/pass is accepted.  If I restart
        Samba, then the
        share is mapped using the workstations login credentials.

        Logging is set to 3 now, but I'm not even sure where to look.
         For some
        reason, restarting the daemon allows authentication to pass
        from clientA to
        Samba, but clientB is able to access the share at the same
        time(and vice
        versa after clientB has been rebooted.)


        My smb.conf is here: http://pastebin.ca/1888385

        What could be causing this behavior?

        Thanks,
