Hi I am experiencing a strange behaviour when the user profiles for a NT3.51 workstation are on a samba-mounted drive. The drive is \\server\netlogon. When I log on first time, everything i ok. The NT machine holds a connection to netlogon open (from smbstatus). But when I log off I can see that NT closes the connection to netlogon together wit all other active connections, but the reconnects a few seconds later (presumeably to write the final changes to the user-profile?) and does NOT close that final connection again :-( When I try to logon again, samba gets an error writing to the NT machine, and closes the connection (gets removed from smbstatus), but the NT machine cannot read the profile :-( If I try again right away, everything is ok, as the stray connection now has been closed. I have seen, that the NT machine holds the connection open for 10 minutes, and then closes it normally. If I remove the net cable from the NT machine, the connection stays open forever.....at least a long time. It is NOT the dead time in samba that closes the file, it is 60 minutes in my configuration. Can anyone tell me if this is just the way it is, or can I change something on NT og Samba to make the logon work every time, without waiting for 10 minutes? (I would like to be able to set "dead time" individually for different parts of my smb.conf, but that is not possible at present time.) I am running samba-1.9.16p11 on SunOS5.5.1.
