Hi! Thanks for answering, but unfortunately, this seems to be of no help. I already had [netlogon] service in my config (to avoid further confusion, i add my smb.conf at the end of this file), the only option i did not have was "inherit permissions = No", which does not seem to be useful for solving the problem (and did not help also).
I have recently recogized that the problem of domain logons is at least closely connected to the problem of downloading "big" files (i.e. files larger than something about 4k or even 2k). The symptoms are the following: 1. There are two differently behaving groups of programs: network neighbourhood (or something like that) and windows explorer, FAR, (i suppose that Window Commander -- for those who don't know what FAR is) and so on. 2. Network Neighbourhood almost refuses to do anything on Samba shares -- it has long stall upon entering directories with names longer than 8 chars, and i don't remember it to be able to perform any file download/upload operations at all. 3. WinExplorer can browse shares freely, unless it encounters directory containing more than 25 entries (very strange limit -- but i checked, the limit is 25), where it stalls for 2 minutes. Also downloading files larger than something about 2 or 4 K always stalls for two minutes, and (under some unclear circumstances) sometimes fail completely. I seem to be really stuck with these errors, and i feel like i just "look in wrong direction", so any genious ideas will be gratefully accepted :). (Even any ideas that will help me to fix the thing :). On Thu, Aug 22, Dragan Krnic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Many problems result in this message.
