samba - Mar 2001 - Samba & SCO

Has anyone here installed samba on sco?  I might have to install samba on  a
SCO 3.2 v 5.0.5 server and was wondering if there might be any
complications, I'm used to freebsd so I'm not sure what I'm in for.

Man, if you only just use FreeBSD to replace that SCO machine huh?

I have a binary distro of Samba installed on SCO 5.0.5. It works just fine
execpt the daemon falls a sleep a lot. I have it running in Standalone
mode and not by inetd. I'm not sure it that has anything to do with it.
I think i found the binary from samba.org

Better yet, I just found a link where someone claims to have 2.0.7 for sco

-----> ftp://ftp.tekno-soft.it/samba-2.0.7.sco5.tgz <-----

Maybe this will solve the sleeping issue.
When it doesn't repsond, i just keep refreshing the browse list and it
finally connects.

Hope this helps,

This is a 2.0.7 version compiled with GCC 2.95.xx for SCO. GCC is much
better than SCO cc. I never see the sleeping issue that you are say, I've
see
the sleeping only when writing several Mb on the disk thru Samba or other
process because during this writes the system need to sync the fs with the 
journal.
This operation require much time, in proportion of the Mb writed.

Do you see the same problem on other SCO version different than 5.0.5 ?
