samba - Jan 2002 - Thanks on 2.2.2!

I just wanted to express my gratitude as I usually only have bugs to
report. I reported the Word/Oplock problem a while back, but wanted to let
you know of a different problem I didn't find until recently.

I'm slowly migrating the rest of my RS/6000's to 2.2.2, but I noticed
that
when I had deadtime set, most times the reconnect would time
out. Specifically, when I launched Netscape and my profile was on my
H: drive, Netscape would hurl and die - the fix? deadtime = 0. But that
was on 2.2.1a. On 2.2.2 it's happy as a clam! I've got deadtime = 90 and
just a few hours after the close of business, most of my memory has been
reclaimed.

I know it's subtle and most people probably wouldn't even  notice or
care,
but I have 4 Samba servers and 2000 PC's. I noticed it and wanted to thank
you, so...


Thank you!

Bill

Hi William,

my users get theyr profiles from the server and that's working fine. But 
upon logout I often get an error message saying, that the client wasn't 
able to save the profile on the server. Is the deadtime-option you were 
talking about changing this? What should deadtime be for me then? Does a 
change to 2.2.2 help me any?

Thanks in advance,

Ralf
