samba - Oct 2001 - memory requirements

Hi

(1) How much server (RAM) memory is required per user connection to samba
server? Will this rate comes down after many users?
(2) Any idea how much hard disk space is consumed if minimal components are
insalled (without man pages and some utilites).

Thanks, Sreenidhi

I would estimate 1.5 - 2 Mb of RAM for the RSS of each smbd.

~10Mb of disk space for /usr/local/samba/bin.
Of course a miminal install is smbd/nmbd/smb.conf :-)
