Hi Volker,
thanks for your fast replay.

I have the log. It is large.
zipped is 160KB, unzipped more than 3MB
Where can I post it ? I don't think the mailing list is the right
place .... it is too big !

I already insert the bug in https://bugzilla.samba.org

Some details :
CLIENT arch = WIN XP
SERVER arch = LINUX ARM 2.6.20.4

I attach
-smb.conf
-configure parameter

Thanks
Paolo
