Hello, We are running Samba Version 3.0.22-13.30-1290-SUSE-SLES10 on an iSeries LPAR with 512 memory and .10 of the processor and a GB NIC. I have successfully joined this server to our Windows 2000 active directory. I have copied over some data and setup some test shares and mapped the share on my pc. I can browse the files in the share with no problem but when I open any type of file on this server it takes 5-10 seconds to open a file. The files I am opening are really small files (around 16k). Closing the file take a little longer than expected. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
