Ok, thanks for that detail on winbind usage.
Oddly my testing of the problem might have pinpointed the issue to be
the fact that the Win7 is running on iMacs, YES! AND there might be
a driver related latency with the network card. Networking via the
wireless card shows faster results. Someone decided to buy a bunch
of iMacs and run Windows on them and this is when we began seeing the
issue. I will see.
With regards to a possible LDAP user retrieval issue I cannot see
this changing if one went from WinXP > Win7 on the client but the
Samba > LDAP mechanism has not changed at the server level where
Samba is running.

name service works at unix level- it caches user and group looks (e.g.
results of "getent passwd" and "getent group.") So that could include
winbind if nsswitch.conf includes winbind.
On solaris, it is defined as follows.
bash-3.00# svcs -a | grep name
disabled Jul_18 svc:/system/name-service-cache:default
Actual executable is nscd (same as linux.)
A DC normally doesn't need winbind since the samba users map directly to
local unix accounts. However, the delay could be in the ldap user
retrieval.
I don't use nameservice cache myself because I found that group changes
did not come into effect quick enough.

Thanks for the ideas !
Does enabling nameservice cacheing mean starting winbindd ?
Wondering what the implications of having this running on a network
with an actual Win DC running as well are ? Meaning this is a
"standalone" instance of a samba server that I am trbl shooting.
I have a development version running the latest, 3.6.7 build and am
testing with Win7 clients but seem to still be getting latency after
multiple files are opened.
I will try the temp file default location change though as well.

(has its pros can cons.)
I would also try XP+Office 2010 and WIn 7+ Office 2007 to see if you can
shake out which is the actual problem.
Also, can you configure office to store temp files on the local PC, and
not the same directory as the office file is located.

Folks,
I am running a 3.3.4 version of Samba ( stand alone) on Solaris 10
configured to auth against LDAP for user auth and have recently,
after migrating a variety of user desktops to Win7 and MS Office
2010, began seeing an increased latency in opening files. ie
previous 3" times are now 30-45 "
Users were previously running WinXP and using MS office 2007.
Question: Is an upgrade to the latest stable 3.x Ver likely to
resolve this OR am I also missing some more stringent security
settings I need to address b/c of Win7 ?
Any ideas or clues appreciated.
