a customer currently uses a Suse 9.2 pro with the last version of Samba to

everything works fine with local clients (many 98s and 1 XP machine).
we have some (15) clients connecting to the ERP program via a Terminal Server
(Windows2K server). these clients often stuck in some requests for 5 to 15
minutes (randomly) and then unlock and continue working.
I'm getting something similar - Suse 9.3 client running rdesktop with a
session from TS 2003 which gets its dbase files served by a Debian Samba
3 server.
Oddly, it seemed to happen after running nicely for a while, possibly
the week before last. I can't see any admission of changes on MS site.
It's possible to set a registry setting that causes TS to open a new
SMB connection for every logged on user, this should help if the problem
is requests getting stuck in smbd's single threaded queue.
I'll try that.
The TS client
has some multi-threaded synchronisation problems that Microsoft could only
solve by going back to the (sensible) multi-connection model. They only
changed to single-connection to screw Samba over in a big account anyway
(the honest and sad truth :-).
Bad people.
It isn't entirely clear to me whether the registry setting is the same
for TS2003 as it was for TS2000.
I'll try it.
