Hi, I'm using the latest samba with encrypted passwords, on a RedHat 5.0 linux box. I'm using a compiled version of samba rather than an RPM. Writing to the server from a win95 machine is VERY slow. 50Mb files take 10+ minutes to write. Reading from the server is as fast as normal. All the hardware involved (server, network, client) is very fast an underused, so I don't think that's a problem. The only thing out of ordinary that I can see is that 'smbstatus' tends to show far more locked files than it did in earlier version, but I was assuming that was simply a change in Samba. Has anyone else experienced this ever? -------- Jon Peterson jon@amxstudios.com 64 Paul Street, London, UK And now it's time for Groovy Grumbold's Rock Roundup on Radio Wortlethorpe.
