I have a user with the fol problem: Reading (ie getting a list of files in explorer) from DIR works great but then he tries to read DIR/SUBDIR and it is amazingly slow. Problem is repeatable on multiple workstations. SUBDIR is a physical subdirectory of DIR (it is not a link). Samba config has not changed recently. Any ideas? -- ___________________________________________________________________ Mark E Drummond Royal Military College of Canada drummond-m@rmc.ca Computing Services Linux Uber Alles perl || die ...there are two types of command interfaces in the world of computing: good interfaces and user interfaces. - Dan Bernstein, Author of qmail PGP Fingerprint = 503D A72D AF41 2AD1 D433 C514 98D9 9A39 B25A 2405
