I had guessed you where running a pop3 daemon of some kind. I was just intrigued by your statement 'which pick up their mail boxes from home directories on Solaris machines using samba shares.' I took that as you where some how reading the /var/mail mailboxes directly without using pop3 by mounting them thru a share. We actually use a different Solaris box as our pop3/imap mail server. The above smb.conf is from our file server where the Eudora mailboxes, address books, etc are kept for each user. I use the [home] share above instead of the default [homes] so that users can see other directories in /export/home other than their own. Good Luck.

Hi, Thomas.
Thanks for the reply.
We are running a pop3 daemon on a Solaris (2.8) machine - not sure which one. Eudora runs on NT clients and gets mail from the pop3 daemon. The Eudora mailboxes (and other files) are on the users home directories, which are mounted by a drive letter. Eudora places the incoming mail from pop3 into these mailboxes.
The home directory drive is mounted onto a Samba share. I suspect it is the settings for this share which are causing Eudora to run slowly.
If you have a comparable setup, and it is working OK, would you be willing to share your [global] settings and the settings from the mailbox share, all from smb.conf? You may want to disguise paths etc for security reasons?
Thanks again,
Paul

We are also running Eudora (v5.1 & v5.2) against a Samba server v2.2.7 running Solaris 2.7. How are the PC clients "picking up their mail boxes from home directories." Are you creating some kind of symbolic link to the mailboxes in /var/mail? Is the Solaris box retrieving the mail from /var/mail into their home directories? Are you running a pop3 or imap server on the Solaris box? We are using an old version of Sun Internet Mail Server (v2.0) as a pop3 server without problems.
Thanks,
Tom

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 this, please? Thanks, Paul Dept. Medical Physics, UCL Hospitals, LONDON WC1E 6JA
