[Samba] samba browsing not responding

i have a samba server named CCFILES set up on a domain. i've
successfully set up the server and joined it to the domain. we're
running in an 2000 domain, but it's not running AD. most of our
workstations are win2000 pro.
all i want to do is serve files. i can browse the server fine and
even copy some things, but explorer frequently locks up while browsing
the server. looking at the server, everything seems fine. the
server's a 450 mhz g3 powerpc with 512 MB of RAM and a 40 GB HDD,
which would seem to me to be more than enough to serve files. i'm
running Mandrake Linux on it and Samba 3.0.7. i set the machine up
with a high security setting. not sure if that might be the cause of
some of my problems. i'm not exactly sure what it entails, but i
can't log into the machine direcly as root (i have to su), it will
automatically log out of root after a while if not being used, and
pings to the machine aren't returned. i tried copying the smb.conf
file over to my workstation using samba, and only the first 16 kb
copied for some reason. here are some settings i changed:
[global]
workgroup = DOMAIN
security = DOMAIN
password server = *
encrypt passwords = yes
idmap uid = 15000-20000
idmap gid = 15000-20000
winbind separator = +
local master = no
wins server = 192.168.1.10
[Files]
comment = shared files
path = /files
public = yes
writable = no
write list = DOMAIN+user1 DOMAIN+user2 DOMAIN+user3
i don't want any kind of shared printing, so i commented all of the
printing options out. are there any settings i missed or configured
incorrectly? could my security settings possibly have something to do
with this? could i possibly change this setting and fix the problem:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
i appreciate any suggestions. thanks for the help.
