Guys,

    I think the answer to my question is to upgrade samba. However, since
this is my production machine, I thought I would try and understand the
problems I'm having a little better to insure that an upgrade will correct
my issues. My setup - Mandrake 7.2, samba 2.09. Win98, ME and XP clients.
The 98 and ME machines have no problems. The XP machine has some
intermittent slowness accessing files and printing to a printer hanging off
a ME machine. The smb log shows the following:

This seems to be associated with the printing delay:

[2004/05/24 08:38:22, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(2516)
  call_nt_transact_ioctl: Currently not implemented.

This seems to be associated with the file access slowness:

[2004/05/24 08:49:27, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(976)
  oplock_break: receive_smb timed out after 30 seconds.
  oplock_break failed for file rankinlawfirm/clients/Rosenberger,
Fran/Pleadings/NOTICE Second Amended- Deposition Crawford.doc (dev = 308,
inode = 1371033).
[2004/05/24 08:49:27, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(1050)
  oplock_break: client failure in oplock break in file
rankinlawfirm/clients/Rosenberger, Fran/Pleadings/NOTICE Second Amended-
Deposition Crawford.doc
[2004/05/24 08:49:27, 0] smbd/reply.c:reply_lockingX(4163)
  reply_lockingX: Error : oplock break from client for fnum = 5056 and no
oplock granted on this file (rankinlawfirm/clients/Rosenberger,
Fran/Pleadings/NOTICE Second Amended- Deposition Crawford.doc).

    Obviously the file access problem is oplock related. I haven't a clue as
to the call_nt_transact_ioctl message. Anybody know if an upgrade to 2.2.9
or 3.0.4 will resolve the issues? Any bits of wisdom will be greatly
appreciated.
