I have added a Samba 3 machine as a BDC and used the net rpc vampire command to copy all of the users and machines. For some reason, only Windows XP clients are slow when downloading files from the Samba BDC. NT and 2000 clients are fine. When an XP client uploads a file, it takes almost no time at all. I've been searching but haven't found any answers. Here is my smb.conf [global] workgroup = GTREP server string = Migration Server passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://chronicles.gtrep.gatech.edu username map = /etc/samba/smbusers log file = /var/samba/log/%m.log log level = 2 add user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m '%u' delete user script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-userdel '%u' add group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p '%g' delete group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupdel '%g' add user to group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m '%u' '%g' delete user from group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x '%u' '%g' set primary group script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g '%g' '%u' add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w '%u' logon path logon home admin users= @"Domain Admins" domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = Yes local master = Yes domain master = No ldap suffix = dc=gtrep,dc=gatech,dc=edu ldap machine suffix = ou=hosts ldap user suffix = ou=people ldap group suffix = ou=groups ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=gtrep,dc=gatech,dc=edu ldap ssl = start tls ldap delete dn = Yes idmap backend = ldap:ldap://chronicles.gtrep.gatech.edu socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins server = 168.20.172.18 [netlogon] comment = Samba Network Logon Service path = /var/samba/netlogon write list = support [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = Yes browseable = No [profiles] path = /home/profiles read only = No browseable = No [IT Admin] comment = ITS Administrative Share path = /export/home2/IT_Admin valid users = @"Domain Admins" admin users = @"Domain Admins" force group = "Domain Admins" read only = No create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775
