Hi, we are very seriously looking into Samba to provide file services to our 12,000 users. Out of these users, we can get anywhere from 2000 to 4000 logged in at the same time (we're a University) Basically my questions are as follows: 1) Does anyone run Samba for this many (or more) users? If so, I'd love some feed back! 2) What sort of machines does this require (we're thinking of a S/390 and an IBM SP2 running AIX) and how much memory are we talking? I've read that the first smbd process is about 800k, but what about a few thousand running at once? 3) Is it possible to run Samba on one huge machine, or is splitting it up into several/many UNIX machines a better idea, and why? Any replies to this are appreciated! Thanks, Matt Stevenson Seton Hall University
