A complete stab in the dark here would be to check DNS. It might be that FC1 (which uses samba 3.0.0) might be doing some dns lookups or something there as part of the handshake process. I've suffered a similar thing with SSH, where the server couldn't resolve my hostname/ip, and would sit there for some time before giving me a passwd prompt. As I said tho, that's just a guess. -dan On Wed, 12 Nov 2003, James C. Bevier wrote: > I have install FC1 and have a RH 9 gateway and another RH9 > system.
