[Samba] W2K Clients intermittantly unable to connect to a samba PDC
Hi, I have a samba PDC running under RH7.3 supporting about 12 windows 2000 clients. Normally all these clients can connect to the domain and work fine. However, each client, at different times twice or three times a week will be unable to log into the domain. The client will get an error message saying that the domian is not available, after about 7 or 8 tries at logging in the client will eventually gain access. While the is occuring to one client, there are others that are already logged and working away just fine. The network seems to remain up at all times and is not being overloaded. The nmbd and smbd damons are up and running whilst these failed logins are occuring. Has anyone come across this problem before or know of anything I could try in order to fix this? Thanks The smb.conf for this PDC is as follows: [global] coding system = client code page = 850 code page directory = /etc/codepages workgroup = FREYCINET netbios name = SWIFT netbios aliases =
