I'm run Samba 2.07 on RH6.2. I have samba setup as a member server (I think) in an NT domain. When I'm copying files the samba machine to an NT machine in the domain it takes about 2-3 minutes for a 8MB file. If I copy the same file from one NT machine to another NT machine the copy takes seconds. I believe the security is set to server. Do I have something in the smb.conf wrong? Did I miss a step. Thanks in advance!
You sure your samba server is coming up connected at the same speed as the NT machine? I assume you have a 100Mbps network? Is the samba system coming up at 10Mbps?

If you'e seeing 2-3 minutes for copies, there's something very wrong. Can you check the same machines with ftp? The same files should copy from NT to NT and from NT to the samba server in nearly the same time. Seconds in all cases, not minutes. You may have a hub or ethernet card in full-duplex on a half-duplex link, or a 100 mbps interface at 10 mbps: that's the most common reason for mismatched speeds.
