I am running mandrake 9.0 on my server, with the standard mandrake 9.0 samba, it seems when i access the shares in XP it locks up for about 30-45 seconds then lets me access my shares, any ideas?

I had to disable the WebClient service on the XP machines and then access was faster. Does the lock up only happen the first time you access the share? And only with XP? --Ben-- ---------------------------- Ben Griffith bgriffit@email.unc.edu ----------------------------

Can you sniff a session and get a look at what is happening? Is there anything written to the samba logs that gives you any clues? --Ben-- ---------------------------- Ben Griffith bgriffit@email.unc.edu ----------------------------

You should delete that line. The first problem(s) mean that users are not getting authenticated properly. What kind of access restrictions are you trying to setup? man smb.conf Read the sections about username and password validation. There are several different ways that you can try to set this up. --Ben-- ---------------------------- Ben Griffith bgriffit@email.unc.edu ----------------------------

Look into the security, guest only, guest ok, and guest account parameters. --Ben-- ---------------------------- Ben Griffith bgriffit@email.unc.edu ----------------------------
