Samba shouldn't crash on you like that at all and it should also not take that long to start either. Better take a look at your smb.conf file.

Subject: samba issues Hello list, I was wondering, if anyone has had issues with samba hanging. I install it, and it takes 5-10 minutes to start, then it works for about two transfers and crashes. I bought an external hd, and I would like to allow sftp access to it through the linux comp, but be able to access it in the network via samba. Thanks, Tyler Littlefield Web: tysdomain.com email: tyler at tysdomain.com My programs don't have bugs, they're called randomly added features. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
