I was have some problems with Samba, after I upgraded from Slackware 4.0 to 8.0. Some of my WinNT4 machines were having errors. The error heading was "System process-lost delayed write data". Body was"the system was attempting to transfer file data from buffers to <network share>" etc. I'm not subscribed to this list, I was searching the archives and saw a few people with the same problems, but can't seem to find them now. Anyways the problem is with microsoft. check their KB for Q163401. Mark
