Hi. I'm using : Samba 2.2.7a TCPIP Services 5.1 (I think) VMS 7.3-1 AlphaStation 250 4/266 (EV4, 266 mhz) with 128 Mb.
Now, to compare performance with your system, could you be a little more specific ? Such as : "It takes x sec to open a folder with y files." "It takes x sec to open a file of y bytes with notepad." Then I could see if it is similar to my system. And what is GVIM ? How large was the file ? Jan-Erik Söderholm PS. Before I used the 2.2.-something release, and the 2.2.7a is *much* faster.

After solving the "Flags = UCX_SERVER" problem and the authentication problem, I am now actively testing. I am testing from MS Windows 2000 Pro with SP3. From Windows Explorer through My Network Places / Entire Network / Microsoft Windows Network / DREO / loriot, I went into the marinier share (from homes) and tried to edit a file with GVIM (right click ans Send To). The system is sluggish (slow to respond). Doing MONITOR SYSTEM produces. Node: LORIOT 17-JAN-2003 10:54:21 Statistic: CURRENT SYSTEM STATISTICS CPU Busy (79) Cur Top: SMBD_ANTIOCH-SP (11) Page Fault Rate (972) Cur Top: SMBD_ANTIOCH-SP (1) Free List Size (25497) Mod List Size (1587) Direct I/O Rate (247) Cur Top: SMBD_ANTIOCH-SP (23) Buffered I/O Rate (1856) Cur Top: SMBD_ANTIOCH-SP (859) When I logged out from the PC and stopped the SMBD_ANTIOCH-SP process, things settled down to a normal state (it took several seconds). Generally, things are a bit slow, opening a directory (clicking the plus sign) in particular; there is a noticeable delay when opening a file but it is only a few seconds (3 or 4). Notepad seems OK. >From previous messages, it may be that we must be careful which Windows applications we use to access files on the VMS system. It this true? Is there a list of recommended applications? Thanks. -- Claude Marinier, Information Technology Defence Research & Development Canada (Ottawa) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ottawa.drdc-rddc.gc.ca
