[Samba] username.map causes delays?

[Alexander Karnovsky, D.Sc.]

Hi,

A user works on a Windows 2000 workstation with MS Visual C++. When he
tries to open a file on a Samba share (Samba 2.2.2 on Sun/Solaris), Visual
C++ hangs for about 10 seconds, then displays the file.

At the same time, the following messages appear in log.smbd:

[2002/09/26 12:21:27, 0] lib/debug.c:reopen_logs(337)
  Unable to open new log file /usr/local/samba/var/log.smbd: No such file
or directory
[2002/09/26 12:21:27, 0] lib/username.c:map_username(87)
  can't open username map /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map. Error No such
file or directory
[2002/09/26 12:21:27, 0] lib/username.c:map_username(87)
  can't open username map /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map. Error Error 0

Note that both above files perfectly exist:

%ls -l  /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other         22 Sep  3 10:25
/usr/local/samba/lib/username.map

%ls -l  /usr/local/samba/var/log.smbd
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       13635 Sep 26 13:07
/usr/local/samba/var/log.smbd

Note also that at the end the user suceeds opening the file.

Any ideas what causes the above messages and how can this be related to the
delays.
