[Samba] Offline files enabled clients are loosing network drives

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, Henry,

Du (hjensen) meintest am 16.08.07:

> since the update to Samba 3.0.25b Clients which have offline files
> enabled - typically notebooks - are sporadical loosing their network
> drives.

> In the samba logs I see:
> "read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client 192.168.1.58. Error =
> Connection timed out"

I know many installations in schools where this notice fills the log  
files ...

> After a new login the client can connect again to the shares again,
> but after some minutes of work the same thing happens again.

> Clients with no enabled offline files have no problems.

shows how to change this configuration.
Tomorrow a colleague will test it.

> We are using XP Prof. Clients and Samba 3.0.25b (sernet-samba) on

Samba 3.0.22 on Slackware 11.0, no PDC.

Viele Gruesse!
