[Samba] FW: Slow opening files on Samba Version 3.0.22 (UPDATED)

[Aaron Kincer]

Other people (me included) have seen that. Now that I've moved us to 
3.0.24 (Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Server), I'm not seeing that kind of 
behavior. I can't be completely sure if it was the upgrade or some 
changes to my smb.conf required by the upgrade that did it. Do you have 
a test environment to try out your configuration on 3.0.24 or higher?
