Hi all,
there is a problem with the 'Default: nt smb support = yes' option in
smb.conf for at least Samba 2.2.3a and 2.2.4 (on FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE)
when using Netbench 7.0.2 on WXP or W2k clients.
If the client is set to run 2+ Netbench engines (to simulate 2+ real
clients) and 'nt smb support = yes', all but one engine fail pretty
quickly, usually during a movefile oder deletefile operation (as
reported by the failing engine).
This does not happen with W2k or Netware 6 servers, nor does it happen
with NT4 clients. Running 1 Netbench engine per client works well
regardless of client OS.
It seems that setting 'nt smb support = yes' is well suited for NT4
clients but not entirely perfect for XP or 2k clients. I don't know
about the significance of this problem outside Netbech testing with 2+
engines per client, but with 'nt smb support = no' the problem
disappears entirely.
Has anyone else seen this? Maybe it doesn't show in a normal
environment? If this happens to be well known could someone please point
me to the relevant information (there's not much mention of Netbench
anywhere in the docs I've read)?
Thanks,
Dieter
