[Samba] Slow opening of files - connecting to server each time

[Andrew Ritchie]

Hello all,

We have a file server running samba Version 3.0.10-Debian.

Copy to or from this file server is very quick.

When trying to open files from the network though, it can take up to 30 
seconds just to open a 1k text file.

An interesting point is that this is only a problem from Windows Clients 
(only W2K tested). The OS X clients connecting via smb have now problems at 
all.

When the logging on the samba server is at level 2 it show the windows 
client reconnecting to the share on every opening of a file.


Thank you
Andrew Ritchie
