Well, I would say that is large :-). There are some known scalability issues with Samba 2.2, --with-pam or --with-utmp (an n^2) problem. You will no doubt find other issues too, but I do believe it will be more reliant on who Linux/390 scales. How will these users be authenticated etc? This is the main area where I can comment, and one of the first problems you will encounter. I sure hope you are not putting a poor Pentium as DC :-) Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Manager, Authentication Subsystems, Samba Team [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student Network Administrator, Hawker College [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://samba.org http://build.samba.org http://hawkerc.net
