Mapping Samba shares from this particular server is either getting slow or
rarely getting denied.

Occasional error messages in log.smbd
[2005/07/24 08:40:39, 1] auth/auth_server.c:(363)
  password server PASS_SERVER rejected the password

I have configured a virtual server here, not using the real host name.
( Physical : 192.168.9.110; virtual: 192.168.9.115)

*smb.conf*

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = virtual_s.biz
        netbios name = virtual_s
        server string = virtual_s
        interfaces = 192.168.9.115/255.255.255.0
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        security = SERVER
        password server = pass_server
        username map = /export/apps/samba/lib/username.map
        max log size = 50000
        name resolve order = host
        deadtime = 30
        max open files = 5000

Here is the error message from log.nmbd on the *password server*

[2005/07/24 11:55:55, 1] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:(328)
  process_node_status_request: status request for name PASS_SERVER.BIZ<1c>
from IP 192.168.9.110 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET - name not found.

Client OS: Windows XP
Unix version: Solaris 8

If anyone can help, I would be much appreciative.

Regards,
John.
