Hi guys, I'm running a NT Domain hosted on two Debian GNU/Linux Sarge servers running Samba (respectively as PDC and as member server), with lots of horsepower (dual-cpu with 1GB RAM or more each). Samba itself is behaving blazingly fast, from both servers. I use winbind on the member server, of course. Still, on this machine I see each week a huge performance drop related authentication, to

Simon, What version of Windows XP are you using? If your client has purchased computers from Best Buy or a similar electronics "mega-store" they likely received WinXP Home Edition.

I''ve read and implemented the http://shorewall.net/IPIP.htm document, but I don''t understand why there should be at the same time a "tunnel" and a "tunnels" script. Shorewall still refuses to let the

Could it be possible nowadays (understand: with the newest kernels and tools) to mount the root filesystem of a Linux client over CiFS? Just like what is already possible for a long time with NFS. The server would be Samba, not Windows. Just wondering... -- J?r?me Warnier FLOSS Consultant http://beeznest.net
