Hello, smbd cpu-usage on our DU 3.2C/alpha is considerably higher then on a SGI/IRIX 6.3. lets say 80% against 0.03% when copying a file Samba has also always been much slower on our DU. Why ? I really start thinking that I am doing something wrong For instance: On DU I am running NIS + enhanced security and I choose the OSF1 + enhanced security option in the Makefile. We're talking 18.p2 version Any suggestions ? Michiel Pieters Wageningen the Netherlands
