Apple X-serve running Yellowdog (a Redhat 9 port for ppc) with 1GB of RAM, 3 60GB HD not setup as RAID. They are individual partitions (/var and /, /home and /shared). The shared partition is strictly for Samba file sharing. I build in a matching user in both the system and in Samba. This way each user gets a private and a public folder.
I am running Samba Version 2.2.8
Below is my smb.conf:
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
load printers = no
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
obey pam restrictions = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
encrypt passwords = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
max disk size = 40000000000
wins support = true
dns proxy = no
netbios name = RSB
server string = RSB Server
printing = cups
default = shared
unix password sync = Yes
workgroup = RSB
os level = 20
printcap name = /etc/printcap
security = user
pam password change = yes
[homes]
browseable = no

comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
create mode = 0664
max connections = 50

force create mode = 750

I think that's it. Thanks

I am new to Samba and think I have it set up correctly. I have two issues that I need to resolve but don't quite know where to start first. The errors are as follows:
1. Client connections are very slow (about 1MB/sec to copy to or from).
2. When macintosh and XP users connect all is fine except for the speed issue above but when a win2k client tries to connect it gets an error that max users/services have been reached.
I probably haven't configured the server correctly but any suggestions as to where I should look to start would be helpful. Thanks
Don,
When you're asking for help on mailing lists, you should give as much information as possible, including configuration files pasted inline below the body of your main text.
You need to tell everyone what version of Samba you are using, what OS and OS version it's running on, if it's Linux it'd be nice to know what distro and version and what kernel version (they are not the same thing.) Then you need to give as much detail as possible concerning what you've done to address the problem yourself. It's OK to say "I don't know much, so I didn't want to try anything without consulting someone else." -- But we do need something. Also, any information about the client would be nice as well (is it up to date, is it running AV software, etc.) Hardware information about both the server and client would be helpful, especially in performance situations like this specific one.
Anyway, you should repost your question to the list containing the information above (don't forget to include your smb.conf at the end (please remove comments, unless you've added them yourself for clarity)) and we'll all try to help you as much as we can.
Thanks,
