I have been running Samba-2.x and 3.x on FreeBSD 4.x , 5.x and
6.1 with WinNT4, Win2k and WinXP clients and never seen anything
like that.
- Perhaps your server hardware is growing old? (Defect CPU fans,
system clocks cause extremly strange problems, not to talk about bad
NICS)
- Perhaps one of your switches/routers is defect? (Everything
including a complete freeze of the server might happen. Do
your clients perhaps hang on the same switch?)
This might be a good chance for you to acquire/test/setup some
new Hardware :-)
Regards,
Uli.
