Are Samba and Solaris performing for you? If not, or if youre wondering about scalability, I'm in the middle of a project on performance monitoring and modelling at work, and will happily look at people's sar files (Solaris only at the moment). A good sample would be "sar -o `hostname`.raw 10 30" (10-second intervals, 30 samples ::= 5 minutes), taken during a busy period. The resulting file is a compact binary suitable for emailing around. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
