Wondering how other sluggers might go about debugging this little problem.
I have set up a samba server (smbd Version 2.999+3.0.alpha24-3 for Debian) to serve an MYOB data file to three clients on a network. the actual MYOB part seems to work ok (once we gave the server enough RAM - 32M RAM it seems is not enough these days :-) But there is a second program that uses ODBC to query the data file and it runs like a proverbial something.. unusably slow. The data file is set up as a System DSN in the ODBC control panel in win2k. I've run tethereal on the connection to the server and see a lot of SMB AndX Read requests from the client and not a lot of replies going back. I think i need to work on tuning samba with this but am unsure where to start. As i say the performance of the non-ODBC SMB connections seems acceptable now.. but until i can get the ODBC driver working I'm unable to complete the move and finish the project.
Any hints most welcome. :)
cheers, ..S.
