[Samba] View Workgroup Computers is Slow to Come Up

2008-01-24 Thread Rick Cone,Secure Payment Systems
What would cause the View Workgroup Computers to be slow in coming up.
It will take from 10 seconds to 1 minute.
 
A am using Windows XP hosts with an SCO OpenServer using Samba in a
workgroup, and Samba is the preferred master (os 255) with WINS support.   I
have the Browser service turned off on all Windows clients.
 
Thanks,

Is winbind the first name resolution protocol for the server, or is it 
trying to get host names from hosts/DNS/NIS/NIS+/LDAP first? You have to 
fail down the chain until you get a positive name resolution, which 
could involve recursive lookups and such.  Just a gut reaction to 
browsing problems.  Also, I've had old hosts in my winbind cache that it 
tries to find and cannot - but that was under the outside influence of 
my own stupidity, I'm not sure that it can happen very well under normal 
conditions.
