The box called 'david' is the samba client that is my workhorse, and on which I am seeing the problem (although it is present on the other Mandriva box too). The server runs samba 3.0.10 and client is running samba 3.0.13, though I have tried installing 3.1 without seeing any difference. I have reverted to 3.0.13. I am seeing huge delays when transferring files direct from an application. Small gnumeric files save instantly on the local filesystem, but take 1.5 minutes over the lan. OOCalc has been unable to save the same spreadsheet at all, saying that access is denied. Printing from OOWriter is exceptionally slow, though this is never as bad from any other application. > 1.
