Hi people, I've seen enough threads about performance to come to the conclusion that the following things should be in the distributed smb.conf: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 read prediction = yes debug level = 0 ;yeah, explicit - the default seems not to be 0 Everybody that uses these reports enormous performance boosts (including ME!). If this causes any kind of unstability in other systems, ./configure could use them only in systems in which tey work (Linux for instance). I say this because of those M$-paid "benchmarks" of Samba x NT.
