Ever since upgrading my RedHat 6.2 to RedHat 7.1, my samba has been very slow to open incoming and outgoing connections. I was getting this error: SSL: Error error setting CA cert locations: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) trying default locations. but fixed it by adding a line in my smb.conf as per an earlier post on this mailing list. ssl CA certDir=/usr/share/ssl/certs However, this did not fix the slowness, it only got rid of the error message. Specifically, when browsing my samba machines shares from any other location, the shares are slow to open up or prompt for password. When browsing any shares from my samba machine, they respond reasonably quickly. There are no errors either to stderr, log.smb or log.nmb. Before this upgrade, this linux box was the snappiest unit on this mixed windows, samba network. My current version of samba is: samba-2.0.7-36 My smb.conf is attached. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
