Couldn't get smb or netbios for Linux 0.99. Not that I didn't try. I needed them but they were not available. Didn't see a working smb implementation til Redhat 5. Even then, was flaky.
---- That was before I got into Linux... I didn't get into linux until RH5...so that would explain perceptions. We had smb on IRIX before that as Jeremy was employed at sgi as well for some number of years. Anyway, NFS was on most platforms I was on and I often tried to make it work as a sub for smb -- as it had better access control at the time, but it was always notably slower (even with TCP connections and larger bufs)... Wasn't until 10Gb ethernet that I hit algorithmic speed problems in smb, as it only uses 1 tcp connection per-user-server. Not much way to parallelize that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
