Hi! I have had problems with timeouts in samba since version 2.0.0. To fixes has improven the stability, but it is still not good. :( Clients get timeouts, especially when using the MS Word preview function, but with other actions as well, and only occasionly (one user said "it happens every time!", but while I was watching it started working again. Our economy administration package goes wacko as well; I think it uses database files and locks etc... Some of below logs implies that op_locks might be the problem? Shall I try using the --with-mmap instead? Here are some logs: [1999/02/10 15:29:48, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(488) klarinett (193.219.246.212) connect to service pingpong as user dip (uid=1001, gid21) (pid 27728) [1999/02/10 15:31:56, 0] smbd/process.c:timeout_processing(795) Reloading services after SIGHUP [1999/02/10 15:31:56, 0] smbd/filename.c:print_stat_cache_statistics(108) stat cache stats: lookups = 5, hits = 4, misses = 1, stat cache was 80.000000% effe ctive.
