Hello, i have a linux box running samba as a fileserver for 4 Windows NT 4.0 Workstations. the performance is good on responing-times but loading and writing large files (more than 500 kByte) is too slow. All the users ale working as guest-users. Can this be the cause for my problem? This is my smb.conf file: **************************************************************************** [global] workgroup = arbeitsgruppe guest account = sambauser keep alive = 0 os level = 2 security = share read raw = yes write raw = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_KEEPALIVE map to guest = Bad User local master = no interfaces = 10.0.0.10/255.0.0.0 wins support = no wins server = 10.0.0.20 [fileserver] comment = File Server fuer die NT Workstations path = /fileserver/daten read only = no locking = no browseable = yes createmode = 0700 public yes *************************************************************************** Thanx for your support, Kilian -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net

Samba itself isn't size-sensitive... First, check that it's not a network problem: try ftp in both directions with both large and small files. We have had similar reports before, but that turned out to only work with very small files (< 512 bytes) and eventually was found to be an ethernet card. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
