hi there, we are using samba 3.0.4 with ldap as primary domain controler and as wins server, which provides windows xp clients. the ldap server is running on a separate machine. it works great. after boot the users can logon and connect to all shares very fast. but during a long session (1h or more) if the user wants to reconnect to shares, it take a very long time (5-10s) to get a response from the server. after this "dropout" there are no connection problems again for a while. this problem causes that word or outlook hangs and the user are very frustrated. for this problem i have no solution, because during the clients try to reconnect there are no log entries in the samba log till the connection succeed with: esmt-00078 (192.168.80.108) connect to service preuss initially as user preuss (uid=20113, gid=100) (pid 15669) any ideas thx tom esmt-00078 (192.168.80.108) connect to service public initially as user preuss (uid=20113, gid=100) (pid 15930) [2004/06/04 15:06:31, 0] smbd/connection.c:register_message_flags(220) register_message_flags: tdb_fetch failed [2004/06/04 15:07:01, 0] smbd/connection.c:register_message_flags(220) register_message_flags: tdb_fetch failed [2004/06/04 15:07:02, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(801) esmt-00096 (192.168.80.215) closed connection to service profile$ [2004/06/04 15:07:02, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(801) esmt-00096 (192.168.80.215) closed connection to service system$ [2004/06/04 15:10:00, 0] rpc_server/srv_pipe.c:api_pipe_netsec_process(1397) failed to decode PDU [2004/06/04 15:10:00, 0] rpc_server/srv_pipe_hnd.c:process_request_pdu(605) process_request_pdu: failed to do schannel processing.
