I use SuSe 9.0 and the related Samba builds, so it seems not to be
a RH only problem.

Now the funny thing:
since about 2 days the problem doesn't arise any more!

The only related thing I did on the server was to modify
access rights and restart the CUPS server because of 
authorization problems of some users using the CUPS web frontend 
(but I don't understand the relationship of these things).

So, for me it works by now, but I don't know a general solution!
Greetings and Merry Christmas
