[Samba] access times samba server via UNC access from XP
Hi,
I am experiencing performance issues when using samba as an application
server for starting exe files from my Windows XP machine.
I have a shortcut on my desktop that links to an executable via UNC path.
Startin the link takes up to 15 seconds, the second time it's a lot faster.
After starting the application and I wait for some time it seems like my
session needs to reconnect or something, because I get very slow responses.
Authentication is done against OpenLDAP.
Samba version is 3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 on CentOS 5.4 32 bit.
Samba config looks like:
[global]
load printers = No
netbios name = SAMBA
server string = Samba
ldap suffix = dc=mydomain,dc=com
workgroup = MYDOMAIN.COM
os level = 20
ldap admin dn = cn=root,ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com
printcap name = /etc/printcap
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://10.10.0.4
veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.pst/*.dbf/*.MDB/*.DBF/*.PST/
[APPS]
comment = Applications
path = /shares/APPS
valid users = @apps, @Admins
read only = No
Can anyone help me?

If you have a misconfigured DNS server setting on the samba server that can certainly happen. Just my first guess. -- Len Sorensen
