i have 4 suse oes2 servers. they had been working fairly reliably for several years. There was a problem we encountered where files would not get backed up properly on occasion. we found the cause was that directories would not always show up unless a refresh F5 was done in explorer. This did not happen in a 64 bit Vista, only on the 32 bit OS type systems. However, on those 32 bit systems, we also discovered that if we used a map from a samba share instead of the NWclient map, we did see all folders. In order to get the samba shares to work properly though, i had to delete the Linux workstations from the NDS, then recreate them, run the Novell Samba from YaST, and Samba server from Yast
I did a namconfig -k
namconfig cache_refresh
