Greets, samba-users,

I contact this list because of a problem I face at a customer's site.

We run Samba version 3.0.28-0.6-1787-SUSE-CODE10 there on a SLES 10 SP2 server. This server is located behind a firewall (run by me), that firewall allows all relevant Samba-ports through (137-139, 445).

The clients are located in a separated subnet, the routing between client- and server-subnet is run by an external service-provider, we have to trust in what they do (and say).

Connections work fine as soon as they are established, the problem is that the connecting itself takes way too long.

There's a small batch-script doing the "net use x: ..." and it sometimes takes up to half an hour (!) until the shares are connected.

connecting via telnet works fine, so routing and firewalling seems to work OK.

Today I narrowed things down via "smb ports = 445" but without improvements.

Doing a "net view \\our.server.domain.tld" returns the shares immediately, and we also use the FQDN in the batch-script.

As soon as the shares are connected, transfers are working fine and fast.

Connections within the server-net start up immediately as well, so the hardware and smb.conf should be OK also afaik.

[global]
        workgroup = ROM
        map to guest = Bad User
        log level = 2
        smb ports = 445
        printcap name = cups
        logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
        logon drive = P:
        logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
        usershare allow guests = Yes
        printing = cups
        cups options = raw
        print command =
        lpq command = %p
        lprm command =
        include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf

the only speciality is that we use auditing in the shares, but I don't think this might be the reason:

[public]
        comment = fuer alle
        path = /mnt/public
        force group = users
        read only = No
        inherit acls = Yes
        vfs objects = full_audit
        full_audit:failure = all
        full_audit:success = all
        full_audit:priority = NOTICE
        full_audit:facility = LOCAL5


The logs don't show anything suspicious, at least nothing I understand as problematic.

I'll be happy to provide any logs and/or tcpdumps or something if needed.

Does anyone have any pointer for me?

Thanks in advance, best regards,
Stefan
