[Samba] Samba 4.5.15 always re-reads its configs on by each new client's connection
Hi, After I switched to using Samba 4.5 I noticed some delays when clients connect to the Samba server. Before I had used Samba 3.6 and there weren't any issues with delays there. I started samba like this: smbd -S -F -i -d 9 -s /etc/samba/smb.conf and saw that Samba read the configuration files every time when a client connected to it. My share definitions are very large and reading them can take a lot of time. Perhaps there are any options making behavior of Samba 4 like old Samba 3? Namely that Samba will read configs only one time by starting. Samba 4 debug log: ...
