Hi list, I have some problems with long timeouts in samba when using smbclient. The problem occurs when any listed nameserver in /resolv.conf is unreachable. Samba is setup with security = ADS and auth methods = winbind. DNS is serving _ldap and _kerberos SRV records. After ~200 secs I get the following in my debug output: ads_cleanup_expired_creds: Ticket in ccache[MEMORY:cliconnect] expiration tis, 06 feb 2007 01:03:12 CET SPNEGO login failed: NT_STATUS_END_OF_FILE session setup failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF) I have tried setting "options timeout:1" in resolv.conf but that only takes it down to a good 25 secs. Question: Is there a way to reduce the total time smbclient takes to decide if a nameserver is available or not (if this is the actual problem)? Any pointers are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nicklas
