We are (only just) upgrading from Samba 1.9.18p10 to the latest 2.2.7a. We run Eudora 5.1 on our PC clients, which pick up their mail boxes from home directories on Solaris machines using samba shares. When we install the new Samba, all our Samba clients slow down incredibly. I suspect here is a change in the Samba config file requirements between the versions? Has anyone else already solved

Sorry if this is an old problem. I have just installed 1.9.18p10 - the latest version. I noticed the nis homedir option in the config file, but have not had much luck in implementing it. I had hoped it would mean my [homes] shares would map to the correct server - the one which physically carries a users home directory - regardless of the machine to which the connection attempt was made. My

We run a Network of Suns (running Samba) and PC-NT (version 4, sp3) machines, at work, and find it very annoying to be unable to change the file permissions of files from NT on the Suns. Is there any way to change the permissions from NT file explorer or otherwise ? Dave Kirkby

Hi all, I have at home a Sun IPC running Solaris 2.6 and Samba 1_9_18p8. The Sun is on a network of just two computers - the other computer being a PC running NT4, with service pack 3. The samba works fine on the unix machine (Sun). When service pack 3 was installed on the NT4 PC, I initially had to enable plaintext passwords, but I've now changed to encrypted passwords, and set

I have a problem with __extremely__ slow performance using the Eudora mailtool. Both the executables and the mailbox are on (different) Samba servers. I have played with all the combinations of placements for executables and mailbox, and what it amounts to is that the slowness happens with the mailbox on a SunOS 4.1.4 Samba server. It doesn't happen on a Solaris based Samba server. As an
