It's WORKS!!!
Our 1 year problem is no longer exist!!! The speed of browsing our workgroup
is FAAAST now! With Your help and a full server restart the problem is
solved. (I'm very HAPPY now!!!) :-)
The smb.conf file now:
[global]
; domain master = no
; local master = yes
; preferred master = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
printing = bsd
syslog only = no
dns proxy = no
null passwords = yes
protocol = NT1
name resolve order = bcast host
strict sync = no
; socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
character set = iso8859-2
short preserve case = yes
printcap name = /etc/printcap
invalid users = root
max log size = 1000
interfaces = 192.168.32.253/255.255.255.0
debug level = 0
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
preserve case = yes
security = user
unix password sync = no
workgroup = vorosko
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
syslog = 0
client code page = 852
netbios name = SERVER
guest account = nobody
load printers = no
os level = 33
; socket address = 192.168.32.253
Best regards to everyone
