I think this issue is very time related, I set the time wrong on purpose on the CIFS server, and I saw this issue very frequently on CIFS clients. Synced the clock again to NTP, and haven't been able to reproduce it again; however even with the time grossly incorrect, the issue was still intermittent. I'll post again if I see the issue with correct time. -- Brent Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list cifs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
