Re: [Samba] Re: Huge delays on login/first access from WinXP clients on samba 3.0.4 PDC

[Paul Gienger]

You may want to check your webclient service status.  A lot of people 
suggest going and disabling the service on the clients, but if you've 
got a big shop then that's a huge PITA.  I suggest popping up a simple, 
no-frills webserver on your PDC.  What that solves is that when a 
machine comes asking for something on port 80 from the fileserver, your 
server responds 'I don't have it' and the client goes merrily along with 
what it 'should' be doing.  This way you don't have to reconfigure every 
new install and things still go fast.

I have a winxp slowdown problem which seems to go away when I turn 
iptables off. My situation is different, but it's a worth a shot just 
to see. I get a 20 sec directory listing delay with WinXP only, Win2k 
is fine, and it only happens intermittantly.

Dear Samba citizens,
what kind of further information I can provide to get this tracked down?
This behavior really renders the samba domain controller service useless
here, but WinXP workgrouping is not an option. As another data point, 
w2k
also doesn't suffer from this problem.

Sorry for all this whining..

Hi *,
after upgrade from 2.2.8a to 3.0.4, I'm suffering from ~10 min. delays
on login/first access of a share from a WinXPpro client to a samba 
3.0.4
PDC (SuSE 9.0). This is printed in the logs:

This effect doesn't happen with Win98SE as a domain client, or with a
WinXPpro client in workgroup mode.
The samba packages are from the ftp.suse.com/project/samba.
I've tried to rejoin this XPpro client under a new name, with no 
effect.
After dismount these delays, it works as expected :-(.

From reading the migration section in the HOWTO-Collection, I added a
"add machine script" with the same value as "add user script"
to smb.conf.
Any hints are highly appreciated.
TIA,
Pete
