One unrelated point I'd like to make is performance - I've found
really annoying connection delays, particularly with word and excel.
Transfer rates are ok, it's opening and saving files that's an
issue.
Extensive googling and I could make it tolerable at best. As this is
for a client, it's proved to be an embarasment. I would dearly love to
find I'm doing something wrong, and I expect that I will, but my
advice would be to check it out without committing yourself, if
that's possible.
I did find one article on the net that said that all bsd's suffer
performance issues with samba,[cut]
Have you got a link?
Maybe it was fixed/improved by this?

Interesting article. I dont think this is it however, as this appears
to be
May 2008, and the system is running 4.4. I'll be upgrading to 4.5 soon
tho,
so I'll be looking to see if that changes anything.
I'll trawl my archived articles for that comment, but it's just
something
that stuck in my mind.
