It has been my experience that each SAMBA process has a resident stack size of about 3-4MB. You will have one SAMBA process for each active SAMBA connection. NMBD memory use seems to be low, 2 processes at around 2-3 MB each. So, let's say you have a domain with 100 users; plan on 300-400 MB of RAM just for SAMBA. Then you must consider the recommendations for your host OS, + any other service you intend on running. Also consider the throughput of your storage devices.
Hi all, I have a simple problem that i cant seem to figure out. Right now i have most of my confs in place to join my samba server to my Active Directory Domain. The problem is, is that i would like for the samba server to be added as a workstation and not a domain controller. However when i browse my AD tree i see that it has been added with the role of domain controller no matter what i do. Right now i have my samba.conf file stripped down to the following: [global] netbios name = my.server.name workgroup = workgroup realm = MYREALM.NET security = ADS encrypt passwords = yes #ThE following was added to rectify the problem preferred master = no domain master = no local master = no Thats it! How do i get my samba server to join the domain without activating it as a domain controller? R.
