samba - Jun 2004 - problems in samba

when i try to copy a folder 2MB size containing many files and folders it takes
me abt 20min long , while if i copy one whole sole 12MB pdf file it takes me 10
mostly. why?

my config file:
========================# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should
read the

# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed

# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too

# many!) most of which are not shown in this example

#

# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)

# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #

# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you

# may wish to enable

#

# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"

# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.

#

#======================= Global Settings ====================================
[global]

netbios name = Linux 

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name

workgroup = domain

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field

server string = samba server

;interfaces = 172.0.0.1 127.0.0.1

;bind interfaces only = yes

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict

# connections to machines which are on your local network. The

# following example restricts access to two C class networks and

# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see

# the smb.conf man page

; hosts allow = 192.168.1. 192.168.2. 127.

# if you want to automatically load your printer list rather

# than setting them up individually then you'll need this

printcap name = /etc/printcap

load printers = yes

# It should not be necessary to spell out the print system type unless

# yours is non-standard. Currently supported print systems include:

# bsd, sysv, plp, lprng, aix, hpux, qnx, cups

printing = cups

# Uncomment this if you want a guest account, you must add this to /etc/passwd

# otherwise the user "nobody" is used

; guest account = pcguest

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine

# that connects

;read size = 65536

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).

# Security mode. Most people will want user level security. See

# Use password server option only with security = server

# The argument list may include:

# password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name]

# or to auto-locate the domain controller/s

# password server = *

; password server = <NT-Server-Name>

; password server = www

# Password Level allows matching of _n_ characters of the password for

# all combinations of upper and lower case.

; password level = 8

; username level = 8

# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read

# ENCRYPTION.txt, Win95.txt and WinNT.txt in the Samba documentation.

# Do not enable this option unless you have read those documents

# The following is needed to keep smbclient from spouting spurious errors

# when Samba is built with support for SSL.

; ssl CA certFile = /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

# The following are needed to allow password changing from Windows to

# update the Linux system password also.

# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file'
above.

# NOTE2: You do NOT need these to allow workstations to change only

# the encrypted SMB passwords. They allow the Unix password

# to be kept in sync with the SMB password.

# You can use PAM's password change control flag for Samba. If

# enabled, then PAM will be used for password changes when requested

# by an SMB client instead of the program listed in passwd program.

# It should be possible to enable this without changing your passwd

# chat parameter for most setups.

# Unix users can map to different SMB User names

# Using the following line enables you to customise your configuration

# on a per machine basis. The %m gets replaced with the netbios name

# of the machine that is connecting

; include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m

# This parameter will control whether or not Samba should obey PAM's

# account and session management directives. The default behavior is

# to use PAM for clear text authentication only and to ignore any

# account or session management. Note that Samba always ignores PAM

# for authentication in the case of encrypt passwords = yes

# Browser Control Options:

# set local master to no if you don't want Samba to become a master

# browser on your network. Otherwise the normal election rules apply

local master = yes

# OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser

# elections. The default value should be reasonable

os level = 255

# Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This

# allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this

# if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job

domain master = yes

# Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup

# and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election

preferred master = yes

# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for

# Windows95 workstations.
