Samba takes some time to wake up...

Subject: Samba takes some time to wake up....

Hi folks,

We are using Samba-2.0. with RedHat 5.2 on a PII-350MHz
and RAID SCSI HD as a domain-logon-server. The clients 
are Win 95 Pentium PCs connected by ethernet.

The problem is:
         Samba takes a long time, i.e. 1 min, to let
         the first user log on in the morning.
         After that the response times are reasonable.

         All the following Win95 PCs are fast loging on
         to the Samba-Server and ok to work at.
         But when openning a file under Word 97 in can
         take up to 30 sec for the window in which you
         choose the file to apear.

We have started smbd and nmbd via inetd and have had them
running as daemons -- without any noticeable difference.
I'll attach part of my smb.conf

Please send any hints via eMail to marki at irving.uni-paderborn.de

Thanks
        Mark
