I have Samba on a HP-UX 10.20 box and a Windows 98 and NT clients. We are using Samba to just share the Unix drives, the clients get their main stuff from an NT domain structure. On my NT client connected to a share, when I go into file manager for an example I get the directory structure almost instantly. However when the 98 client does the same exact process on the same exact share, it take a good amount of time for the directory structure to come up. Because if this time delay my software is having problems locating files on the drive because it seems to be timing out. Any thoughts on this matter would be most helpful.

That could be a client hardware/config problem, but it could also be an effect of Windows 98 Explorer setting the 'sync" bit on every packet it sends. 1.9.18p10 introduced the strict sync option, which should be set to "no", just to deal with this problem. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
