Performace on this samba server seems to be really bad. I was wondering if anyone on the list is using this version of linux and could recommend any tips. I have the book from SAMS Learn Samba in 24 hours and have tried different suggestions. I had Redhat 6.2 on this box before with samba setup and it seem to perform alot better. The machine is a dual celeron 466 with 256 meg of pc100 ram with a mylex raid scsi controller with 2 ibm 9.1 gig 10,000 rpm drives. When copying files to the server top show cpu at 1% to 4% so it is not under heavy load. The web site runs great just samba seems to run slow. Any recommendations other than go back to redhat 6.2 lol. # Global parameters [global] workgroup = XXXXXX netbios name = XXXXX netbios aliases = server string = Samba Server on Caldera OpenLinux interfaces = bind interfaces only = No security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = No allow trusted domains = Yes hosts equiv = min passwd length = 5 map to guest = Never null passwords = No password server = XXXXXX smb passwd file = /etc/samba.d/smbpasswd root directory = / passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd passwd chat = *old*password* %o\n *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed* passwd chat debug = No username map = password level = 0 username level = 0 unix password sync = No restrict anonymous = No use rhosts = No log level = 1 syslog = 1 syslog only = No log file = max log size = 50 timestamp logs = Yes protocol = NT1 read bmpx = No read raw = Yes write raw = Yes nt smb support = Yes nt pipe support = Yes nt acl support = Yes announce version = 4.2 announce as = NT max mux = 50 max xmit = 65535 name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast max packet = 65535 max ttl = 259200 max wins ttl = 518400 min wins ttl = 21600 time server = No change notify timeout = 60 deadtime = 0 getwd cache = Yes keepalive = 300 lpq cache time = 10 max disk size = 0 max open files = 10000 read prediction = No read size = 16384 shared mem size = 1048576 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=13384 stat cache size = 50 load printers = Yes printcap name = /etc/printcap printer driver file = /etc/samba.d/printers.def strip dot = No character set = mangled stack = 50 coding system = client code page = 850 stat cache = Yes domain groups = domain admin group = domain guest group = domain admin users = domain guest users = machine password timeout = 604800 add user script = delete user script = logon script = logon path = \\%N\%U\profile logon drive = logon home = \\%N\%U domain logons = No os level = 0 lm announce = Auto lm interval = 60 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No browse list = Yes dns proxy = No wins proxy = No wins server = 192.168.11.1 wins support = No kernel oplocks = Yes ole locking compatibility = Yes oplock break wait time = 10 smbrun = /usr/bin/smbrun config file = preload = lock dir = /var/lock/samba.d default service = message command = dfree command = valid chars = remote announce = remote browse sync = socket address = 0.0.0.0 homedir map = time offset = 0 unix realname = No NIS homedir = No panic action = comment = path = alternate permissions = No revalidate = No username = guest account = nobody invalid users = valid users = admin users = read list = write list = force user = force group = read only = Yes create mask = 0744 force create mode = 00 security mask = 037777777777 force security mode = 037777777777 directory mask = 0755 force directory mode = 00 directory security mask = 037777777777 force directory security mode = 037777777777 guest only = No guest ok = No only user = No hosts allow = hosts deny = status = Yes max connections = 0 min print space = 0 strict sync = No sync always = No print ok = No postscript = No printing = lprng print command = lpr -r -P%p %s lpq command = lpq -P%p lprm command = lprm -P%p %j lppause command = lpresume command = queuepause command = queueresume command = printer name = printer driver = NULL printer driver location = default case = lower case sensitive = No preserve case = Yes short preserve case = Yes mangle case = No mangling char = ~ hide dot files = Yes delete veto files = No veto files = hide files = veto oplock files = map system = No map hidden = No map archive = Yes mangled names = Yes mangled map = browseable = Yes blocking locks = Yes fake oplocks = No locking = Yes mangle locks = Yes oplocks = Yes level2 oplocks = No oplock contention limit = 2 strict locking = No share modes = Yes copy = include = exec = postexec = root preexec = root postexec = available = Yes volume = fstype = NTFS set directory = No wide links = Yes follow symlinks = Yes dont descend = magic script = magic output = delete readonly = No dos filetimes = No dos filetime resolution = No fake directory create times = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 print ok = Yes browseable = No [public] comment = Public Stuff path = /home/public write list = @users read only = No guest ok = Yes [home] path = /home read only = No
