samba - Aug 2003 - What kind of performance can I expect on this setup...

Running Samba 2.2.8a as a PDC, which will service about 40 people.(grow to 
about 60-70 by end of the year)
They will also be accessing shares on the server from a program.

Server is:
Xeon 2.8ghz
2gigs of RAM
3 320 SCSI 36 gig drives: setup in RAID 5 with 70 gigs of room

Running on RH 7.3
Swap is 2048 (Was highest I could set it for 7.3)

Anyone wanna take a gander and tell me what to expect? Any problems I may 
run into? What they would change, update etc.

Thank you.

Jason

Not to be rude, and I'm fairly new at this, but I've pretty much noticed
that you're not going to get answers without answering specific questions. 


You have a nice, hefty server. You have plenty of RAM. I have 20 people 
using file sharing on much less stellar stuff than this without 
performance issues. The server I have is also running a "gob" of other
processes, i.e., DNS, DHCP, Lotus Domino, PPP server.
