occasionally i feel like i and other people would like to know how samba is being used. if you feel so inclined, could people kindly let us know some of the things below (pick one or more or all), such as: - a brief description of your organisation. - what you use samba for (e.g as file servers; login servers; backup purposes or remote admin with smbclient or rpcclient). - what version(s) of samba you are using. if using a version from cvs please include date and tag. - what server(s), including the specification (OS, ram, hdd, network, rough estimate of mb/s throughput at peak load would be excellent if you can get it) - how many users and in what database (private/smbpasswd; LDAP; MYSQL) and how many simultaneous users. - what sort of hosts connect to your servers. i should probably be advocating people to fill in the survey instead of this :) thank you! luke <a href="mailto:lkcl@samba.org" > Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton </a> <a href="http://www.cb1.com/~lkcl"> Samba and Network Development </a> <a href="http://samba.org" > Samba Web site </a> ====================================================================Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton | Direct Dial : (678) 443-6183 Systems Engineer / ISS XForce Team | ISS Front Desk: (678) 443-6000 Internet Security Systems, Inc. | ISS Fax : (678) 443-6477 http://www.iss.net/ *Adaptive Network Security for the Enterprise* ISS Connect - International User Conference - May '99 =====================================================================
