I'm running samba 2.2.3a-12.3 on Debian Linux (i686). The network is 100Mbit switched and I can ftp data off the server at 9Mb/sec. If I use either the Finder GUI under Mac OS X or mount manually via Terminal, and then try to copy a file I get less than 64k/sec! I don't ever remember having much better speeds than this while using the various versions of Mac OS X. Windows users can access the server with no problems. A 600Meg file will take several days for mac users - all mac users seem to have this problem with my server (5 of them) - but 5 mins. for a windows user.
Interestingly copying files from windows machines works as expected - I can copy a 600Mb file to my mac in 5 mins. from a WinXp machine (via smb).
I suspect there's probably something wrong with my samba config, but not sure what. I've played with settings - to little effect - and searched the net without finding anything of use.
If anyone at all has seen this and/or knows what the problem/solution is, I'd be most grateful.
Many thanks,
James
