Hi all, A while ago (a few weeks) I installed a sambaserver on a Suse 8.1 box. I thought it was ready for "production" but I found a problem. I managed to get winbind autenticate the users, but the response of making a networkconnection with Win-clients is rather slow. Today I tried to copy a file of 162Mb on it and this took about tree quarters of an hour. Any suggestions to diagnose this problem ? B.T.W. the switch (=hub-like device) indicates the NIC runs at 100Mb. TIA
I am tossing this suggestion out only as something to try... and it won't take much to try. I once had a similar problem with Samba under Linux... where transmitting a large file would cause the line to slow and then disconnect. I was finally given the following to try: In /etc/samba/smb.conf, make your 'socket options' as follows: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=32768 SO_SNDBUF=32768 It can't hurt... and it might help. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
