Hi, I have setup a samba server with ldap backend running on RHEL4 with the stock rpms.
[# rpm -qa | grep samba samba-common-3.0.10-1.4E samba-3.0.10-1.4E system-config-samba-1.2.21-1 samba-client-3.0.10-1.4E My clients (windows xp) join the domain just fine, and I can copy files to the server with no problem. However, sometimes saving files is slow. Other times openning the files is slow. I have remapped the My Documents folder to the users home directory on the server. so My documents points to H:\My Documents (H is their home directory shared through the [homes] share). If a user double clicks on the "My documents" folder, then it takes a few seconds to open, then it finally opens. If they close it and try reopening it right away, then it opens instantaneously. But if you wait a few minutes with the folder closed and try to open it again then it takes a few seconds to open again. The netbios name of the machine is ibbstaff and it has a dns entry ibbstaff.ibb.gatech.edu. Now, I think that I may have screwed up in the WORKGROUP name. I sort of wanted to follow the MS forest naming convention (even though I don't have any real windows servers) and made the WORKGROUP name: IBB.GATECH.EDU (which does not resolve to any ip). Is it possible that setting the workgroup like that is creating the problems when clients try to connect to the shares? I already have the server in production and had moved people to it, but I do not want to move anyone else until I figure this problem out. I also had to disable oplocks because saving excel files was too slow. All windows xp clients use the samba as the wins server.
