[Samba] Samba 3.3.4 - Win7 Latency with MS Office files

[John Goubeaux]

Thanks for the ideas !

Does enabling nameservice cacheing mean starting  winbindd   ? 
Wondering what the implications of having this running on a network 
with an actual Win DC running as well are ?  Meaning this is a 
"standalone" instance of  a samba server that I am trbl shooting.

I have a development version running the latest, 3.6.7 build and am 
testing with Win7 clients but seem to  still be getting latency after 
multiple files are opened.

I will try the temp file default location change  though as well.
