Agreed. This is a good time: it is about as fast as ViewNow NFS client with MultiNet NFS server. Your observations about the relative speed of the DEC 3000 Model 600 are correct and relevant. I was not overly concerned about that; I am much more concerned about the smbd process that went wild and consumed all those resources. The improvements in Samba performance are noted and appreciated.

Samba seems to have a problem with that. But I am speculating. I copied a file (C source code) from the VMS system to the PC and was able to edit it with GVIM. I could not copy it back to the VMS system: "File exists". Oops! the VMS system is bogged down with another rogue smbd. This time, I have 100% CPU usage by SMBD_ANTIOCH-SP (last time there was a lot of I/O). -- Claude Marinier, Information Technology Defence Research & Development Canada (Ottawa) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ottawa.drdc-rddc.gc.ca
