[Samba] Issue with Samba and Microsoft Word

[Michael Luevane]

Hello, all

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this:

I'll arrive in the morning, start Microsoft Word. It takes 30-45 seconds to
open.
I'll hit the File menu item - takes about 30 secnods to open.

If I close Word and open it back up, it all works fine (i.e., no delays).
If I close Word and come back to it in half an hour or so, it all starts
over.

I think I've posted this here before, but I don't remember. My apologies if
I did. I'm still trying to find an answer, and if I can't, we'll most likely
be switching from Samba to Win2K server.

Word is configured so that the everything in the Options|File Locations is
on the C: drive except for the Workgroup templates, which is out on the
server.

My smb.conf is below.

Many many many thanks in advance.
