Hi all,

I am experiencing a long delay when connecting from a windows machine to my samba server. All the details of my setup are below. Here are the characteristics of the problem:

client (windows xp desktop) browses to domain in Network Places.
samba server appears as expected.
double-clicking on the samba server causes a delay of approximately one minute before share drives are listed.
Once the shares are listed, browsing is very fast.

I am VERY confused by this behavior. I need to resolve it quickly. My users are revolting!

What might cause such a huge delay in accessing Samba?

My env uses an Active Directory server for authentication, and so I am running smbd, nmbd, and winbindd. I have cranked up the log level to see a lot of action in the log files. I attempted a connection on 2007/10/30 at 10:32:07. At 10:33:22, the share drives were listed in my windows desktop. Delays of 1 minute (at a minimum) are common and reproduceable.

My client IP address is 10.1.1.233. The server IP address is 10.1.1.14. The domain name is 60framescorp. My username is dviner.

Here's what I see in the relevant logs:

======================================================================== ==========================
ENVIRONMENT:
Samba server
        - version 3.0.26a
        - running CentOS 5.0
Samba configuration (smb.conf) global section:
   workgroup = 60framescorp
   server string = Shared Drives (Samba Server %v)
   security = domain

    # required for AD domain
   encrypt passwords = yes
   allow trusted domains = no
   idmap uid = 200000 - 300000
   idmap gid = 200000 - 300000
   winbind nested groups = yes

    # this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
    # that connects (%m = user, %S = share)

   #log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
   log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%S
   log level = 4 auth:10 winbind:3

    # Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
   max log size = 1000

   local master = no
   dns proxy = no
