Hi all,
I am experiencing a long delay when connecting from a windows machine
to my samba server. All the details of my setup are below. Here are
the characteristics of the problem:
client (windows xp desktop) browses to domain in Network Places.
samba server appears as expected.
double-clicking on the samba server causes a delay of approximately
one minute before share drives are listed.
Once the shares are listed, browsing is very fast.
I am VERY confused by this behavior. I need to resolve it quickly.
My users are revolting!
What might cause such a huge delay in accessing Samba?
My env uses an Active Directory server for authentication, and so I
am running smbd, nmbd, and winbindd. I have cranked up the log level
to see a lot of action in the log files. I attempted a connection on
2007/10/30 at 10:32:07. At 10:33:22, the share drives were listed in
my windows desktop. Delays of 1 minute (at a minimum) are common and
reproduceable.
My client IP address is 10.1.1.233. The server IP address is
10.1.1.14. The domain name is 60framescorp. My username is dviner.
Here's what I see in the relevant logs:

==========================
ENVIRONMENT:
Samba server
- version 3.0.26a
- running CentOS 5.0
Samba configuration (smb.conf) global section:
workgroup = 60framescorp
server string = Shared Drives (Samba Server %v)
security = domain
# required for AD domain
encrypt passwords = yes
allow trusted domains = no
idmap uid = 200000 - 300000
idmap gid = 200000 - 300000
winbind nested groups = yes
# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects (%m = user, %S = share)
#log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%S
log level = 4 auth:10 winbind:3
# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
max log size = 1000
local master = no
dns proxy = no
