Hi guys, Sorry for what is most likely been asked before. We have just finished setting up a samba server using Suse 9.0 and samba 3.0.2a. All seems to have worked well (I've been using samba for some time now) but I seem to be having issues with speed. Especially during file permissions queries from windows 2k and actual file transfers. My config is extremely simple, modifying only that that really needs it but the relevant options are [global] workgroup = hidden netbios name = hidden interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth0 bind interfaces only = true syslog only = yes log level = 50 (done for initial debug) socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=4096 SO_RCVBUF=4096 #WinBind info winbind cache time = 15 winbind separator = + winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /export/home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash security = ADS realm = hidden.com.au encrypt passwords = yes server string = hidden NAS domain master = false domain logons = no local master = no preferred master = auto Network seems ok and transfer rates seem ok with ftp and nfs, it seems to be only samba. Is there any benefit in using Wins support, there is a wins box on the net, same as the ADS server. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Brett Stevens
