Slowww access from Win9x to Samba Shares

[Jones, Rich]

Ok, this is wierd....

I commented out the 'null passwords' option and it solved all my delays.

I forwarded my findings to another user who had the same problem, and his
problems were resolved to.

The speed has jumped from 10-15 seconds response time to less than a second.

I check the system logs and found two messages occuring everytime I clicked
on the share.

	>>  PAMDB - Structure no longer valid.

	>>  1 Authentication failure (uid=0)  budman -> Samba device

(Something like that)
Can this be a bug in 2.0.5a?  This option works fine in 2.0.3.

Thanks,
Rich
