[Samba] New issue with a New Vista Client - couldn't find service

[Brian]

OK, Since we last spoke I built a new server, installed FBSD 7.2 and
installed the samba package 3.3.3 and the results were the same.  The new
server is still being flooded with:

Literally 500K log files in a few seconds.  Its modern hardware with a intel
Atom processor and so forth and its spending 24% processor time filling out
logs.

John suggest 3.3.8 and I realized I was at 3.3.3 so I upgraded samba to
3.3.8 and got the same result!

So I have had version 3.0.something (older FBSD implementation) through
3.3.8 running (7.2 FBSD implementation) and all of them are being flooded by
vista.  Ya ya I know...blame Gates, but there must be a fix here some place?

thanks for your help in advance.

Brian

Please update your version of Samba to at 3.3.8 or later (preferably
3.4.2 or later).

Samba-3.4.2 is a whole different animal from 3.0.7 - life has moved on.

Vista is also a whole different animal than XP and requires the later
Samba releases for smooth interoperability.
