Guys, we have been tracking down a problem with slow saving of profiles on logout. Environment: A number of Linux front end servers running Samba 2.08, nfs mounting from a Solaris 9 server. WinXP/2k users use shares from the linux boxes which nfs mount the share from the sun box. Problem: On logout the time taken to logout is extremely long. Issue: On closer examination, we have noticed that the files on the server are not always having the correct date/time set on them, when they are stored on the server, it breaks down as ~80% have the correct date and time, ~10% have a date/time that is 1 second newer than that on the workstation, and ~10% have a date/time that is 1 second older. For the files that have a date that is 1 second older, they get copied up on each logout, and the date is once again set to the incorrect time. On logon, then never copy down, as the workstation assumes the workstation version is newer, and hence the corret one. For the files that have a data that is 1 second newer, they dont get copied up on logout, and then they do get copied down on the next logon, at which point they are in sync, and never copy again (until changed). There doesn't seem to be any relationship between this issue and the 2 second resolution issue that windows 9x has, as the files have both old and even values in the seconds component (and my understanding is that they would always be even or odd if this was causing the issue) Question: has anybody seen this issue before, and is there any obvious issues I should investigate to resolve this issue.
