[Samba] samba 3.0.33, solaris and vfs problem and solution
Just to save some other poor soul from having to get around a packaging issue on Solaris 5.10. I just installed 3.0.33 and the package put all the vfs libs into /usr/sfw/lib instead of in the right place /usr/sfw/lib/vfs. I fixed by cd /usr/sfw/lib/vfs ln -s /usr/sfw/lib/audit.so.0 audit.so Repeat for each .so. This may not be the preferred work-around but it works. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] LDAP Account Manager 2.5.0 released
Just going to be direct, not to insult or disparage. First thoughts were: Cool an LDAP browser/interface. Ugh, it's in PHP. Hmm, it seems to be specific to a fixed set of schemas, seems like a limiting feature. What's the reason for limiting its use with certain schemas? Will it work when pointed at any LDAP db? Does it scale for 10.000, 50., 250.000 entries and beyond? Do you have data to support its scalability?

There is a real big difference between mount and smbclient ! And it seems to be better to use the 3.2.5 version which is ~ 20Mo/s better than the 3.0.24 version. Again, all of this was tested without using the disks (buffer cache). Do you know where does this difference comes from ? It's the latencies that kill performance. Given the request-response nature of the protocol with a limited request size (no matter how large you make them), you can only get a certain number of round trips per second. smbclient 3.2 and even more in upcoming 3.3 hides those latencies by issuing more than one request at the same time using the Multiplex ID field in the SMB header properly. Neither cifs nor smbfs do this. Why do cifs and smbfs not have this capability? Is it too much work? Is it due to differences in the purpose of each? Is there a way to setup smbclient to act like a mount point acts? I'm pretty sure the answer's No. but I ask anyway. Is this definition correct?

Re: [Samba] server or client having the problem?
I was trying to get a feel for samba as a solution to just serve files. I ran a long duration test over the holiday. I haven't tried it again. [global] workgroup = smbmnt server string = Samba Server security = server hosts allow = 192.168. 127. load printers = no log file = /var/samba/log/log.%m max log size = 5 passdb backend = smbpasswd dns proxy = no [smbmnt] path = /data/a1/b1/c1 public = no valid users = daemon writable = yes On the client: mount -t smbfs -o username=daemon //server/smbmnt /smbmnt I was hesitant to enable too much logging as I read there was a severe, negative performance impact. Performance is a keystone for me. It seems to hold up fine so I can increase and try again but explorations like this take a lot of time so I may not pursue this; at least not right away.
