I have the following configuration my my /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[homes]
comment = %u home directory
path = /home/%U/.documents
read only = No
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
guest ok = no
I have a (hypothetical) user name of "myself", and another user on my
system
is "another"
When I open up Network Neighbourhood in WinXP (SP1) I see the following
shares:
"homes", "myself" and "another"
When I double click on "myself", the browser window hangs for several
minutes. When I open "homes" or "another" I can browse my
home data
directory (/home/myself/.documents) without any hangs.
There doesn't seem to be anything odd in the logs.
Can anybody explain why WinXP hangs on my own share, but not on
"homes" or
on another user's home share?
