Hi. I am connecting to a Samba server from a mac running OSX 10.6.6 on my LAN and up until about a month ago it has been running smoothly. The sever is appearing in Finder but when connecting I get asked my username and password. After entering my details I get "Connecting" for about 5-10 seconds before the shares are presented, then I am able to mount and work with the shares. Interestingly if I don't mot the share quickly the mac reports the share is no longer available?
This evening I have been doing some diagnosis to see whats happening, I opened a terminal session on the samba server and to connect to the share using; smbclient \\\\localhost\\[share] I get asked the password, after 20 seconds the connection fails with the error: Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding session setup failed: Call timed out: server did not respond after 20000 milliseconds I'm assuming this is why there is a delay in mounting the share though my Mac. Im pretty sure I haven't changed anything. I have googled the web and the only constructive thing I have come across so far is the encrypt password entry in smb.conf. I tried this but made no difference. smb.conf: [global] netbios name=Leopard workgroup=WORKGROUP security = user load printers = no log file = /var/log/samba.log max logsize = 50 time server = yes read raw = yes write raw = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY wins support = yes local master = yes domain master = yes os level = 65 [homes] read only=no guest ok=no browsable=no [share] path=/usr/home/share read only=no guest ok=no force group = share security mask = 0660 force security mode = 660 directory security mask = 0770 force directory security mode = 0770 Any advise would be appreciated especially if someone has resolved this.
