[Samba] Trailing backslash issue with Windows Shares
I have Samba 3.0.25b running as a PDC. When opening a share on a Windows member server from an XP/Vista client, if I add a trailing backslash after a share name (e.g. \\WIN-SERVER\C$\) then an explorer windows appears immediately and correctly contains the share. Without the backslash (e.g. \\WIN-SERVER\C$) I have observed delays of up to 20 seconds. I have msdfs root = yes in my smb.conf. Is this a known problem ? Regards, Patrick
