Hi-
I'm having a recurring problem with Windows XP and a Samba share on
logon. More specifically, I have a Samba (v 3.0.24 on Debian Etch)
share with share permissions (not a domain) mapped to a drive in Windows
XP Pro. Whenever someone logs onto an XP Pro computer in the network
the drive isn't there.
Here's an example: Say there's a document on the shared drive and a
shortcut to that document on the XP desktop. If I click on the
shortcut, Windows can't find the document. However, opening My Computer
and/or browsing to the drive works and then I can use the shortcut on
the desktop. This behavior is the same regardless of the application,
anything that tries to access the share prior to opening My Computer
will fail.
Once the drive is accessed for that first time manually, it works
perfectly fine for the remainder of the session. This behavior occurs
across several XP Pro clients in the network. I think it's also notable
that the "Unable to reconnect to all network drives" or whatever
balloon
pop-up does *not* appear, so there's no indication that something is
wrong until I try to access something on the share drive before
navigating to it manually.
I've searched through docs, etc, but haven't been able to find anyone
with similar behavior or that describes it in the same way, at least.
Thank you for any help or pointers to FAQs or otherwise.
Here's the global config:
[global]
workgroup = WRK

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spas
sword:* %n\n .
lanman auth = No
max log size = 1000
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096
SO_RCVBUF=4096
remote announce = 192.168.1.255
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
unix password sync = Yes
wins support = Yes
preferred master = Yes
name resolve order = wins bcast hosts

Here's the share config:
[ShareDrive]
comment = Shared Directories
path = /srv/share
create mask = 0775
