Hi all... Last monday i migrated form novell 4.0 to Samba 3.0 PDC. The server
acts as a file server for 30 workstations (Win2000) using an aplicattion

.db). Its perfomance has been very poor since i changed the server. PLEASE
HELP ME, since its in production and i really don know what to do.
thanks,
Samba and Linux is a great combination for providing a reliable fast 
file server on a network.  Whether you are using Microsoft Access, 
FoxPro, Quickbooks or CA-Clipper, with any multi-user fileserver 
database application there are configurations done both on the server 
and the client systems for this to work reliably.  The main settings to 
look for when setting up the Samba server to host a database application 
are: lock spin, and oplocks.

Try looking at: http://www.drouillard.ca/TipsTricks/Samba/Oplocks.htm

First of all, if you are only doing file sharing, you don't need a PDC setup. Second, I 
assume that your current Samba server is a different box than your old Novell server. If 
this is the case, is the new server a lot less powerful than the old? Is it on a different 
network segment? Are you using a 10base-T NIC where you were using a 100base-T? Also, what 
OS is running on your Samba box?

Well, the box is more much powerfull than the old one (it is a amd XP 2000+,
256mb RAM, 3Com 3C905 100base-T ). Its running a RH 9.0, all the machiones
on the lan have a  3Com 3C905 100base-T and the switches (2) are 3Com 3300
