Hi list! We have a problem with our samba server (version 3.0.14a-1 running on SuSE Enterprise OS). After some time of inactivity (about 15 min) the clients get some delay when they reconnect to a share. When the want to open a document it takes about 5-10 secs until it opens. After first reconnect everything work fine. Which parameter could i change to fix this problem? I already tried deadtime, keepalive, SO_KEEPALIVE and serval other.
