I upgraded an old Samba 2.x install on Debian that I had at a customer location. Authentication to the PDC was via winbind. Everything worked fine in the past except the RAID died so I rebuilt the RAID, copied over the old volume, and ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. Now I have some really weird Samba problems: I can connect to my share on Samba. I can create a dir, a file, and insert text into a file. I can copy a small directory with a few small text files in it from the PDC to the Samba share. When I try to copy almost everything else from anywhere on the LAN to the Samba share it freezes up and the connection eventually times out. I spent the better part of 5 hours banging my head against the wall. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking of just downgrading everything since I still have the original file system image that used to work but I'd rather not. Thanks! Don at carolinanetworking dot com
