Hello,
I have recently started having problems with my installation of Samba that I can't attribute to any single cause. On some of the computers I have networked (like 2-3 of total 40) sometimes I can't access some shares (again, 2-3 shares from 26 total). When this error occurs, Windows client tells me I might not have proper privileges but I can access the same share with the same network login/password from different computer or another login from that very computer. This mostly happens when computer is newly turned on or rebooted and dissappears after a while (15-30 minutes). It is possible to reproduce it by rebooting one of the affected client computers (not anymore 100% sure). Sometimes the shares work but windows machine keeps asking for name&password whenever you try to open folder or a file. I'm not very skilled in samba (or linux) administration but I have root access to the server and will try to include info I find useful:
My server is running
/openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64)//
//VERSION = 11.2/
Samba is 3.4.3-3.8.1 (according to yast2)
Global configuration is as follows:
[global]
    workgroup = CENTRUM
    passdb backend = tdbsam
    printing = cups
    printcap name = cups
    printcap cache time = 750
    cups options = raw
    map to guest = Bad User
    include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
    logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
    logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
    logon drive = P:
    usershare allow guests = Yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
    domain logons = No
    domain master = No
    local master = Yes
    os level = 65
    preferred master = Yes
    security = user
    wins support = Yes
    name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast
    unix extensions = No
    follow symlinks = Yes
    wide links = Yes
        log file = /etc/samba/samba-log.%m
    log level = 3
    map untrusted to domain = Yes


The problematic share (maybe it's not the most problematic but it's definitely most used):
[recepce]
    inherit acls = Yes
    path = /srv/recepce
    read only = No
    create mask = 0660
    directory mask = 0770
    force group = zamestnanci
    msdfs root = Yes

(last line added after problems started as per some solution I found not being really solution after all)

And I managed to get an error message that appears when the share is not accessible. The log is available here (I link it because of size and I didn't want to trim it as I don't exactly know what's important).

Is there anyone who can help? Is more info needed?
Thanks
