[Samba] Samba opens many files.

Hi,

I have a dir with more than 16000 files in it.
If I klick with MS-Explorer on this Dir to see which files are in it,
smbd opens every file and so it takes some seconds to show this Dir!
(and CPU usage is at 100%).

the logfile says smbd do this for every file:

[2003/11/18 16:06:58, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(246)
USERX opened file /path/to/file.txt  read=Yes write=No (numopen=1)


Is this behavior normal?
Can I avoid this with conf-settings?



Thanks in advance

Markus Wenke
