For the benefit of anyone waiting for the "official fix": I've just
noticed that the most recent Solaris 9 Recommended Patch Cluster on
SunSolve includes patch 112233-04, and the README for that patch claims
that it fixes BugId 4735093 (which Sun identified as a duplicate of
4700402).
The Solaris 8 kernel patch is still at 108528-18. Presumably 108528-19
will be forthcoming soon.

Re: Solaris fcntl bug - Update

2003-01-23 Thread Andy Thomas 

  After I asked Sun to escalate our case a few weeks ago, we received 
a binary fix for the fcntl bug for Solaris 8 and 9.  It was not a patch, 
just a tarball.

  Last fall, users were taking 5 - 10 minutes to download XP profiles
with samba 2.2.5, but only 10 - 20 seconds with samba 2.0.6, with
500+ connections per server.

  With the kernel binary fix, samba 2.2.7a is just as fast as 2.0.6.

  Sun it releasing T-patches - T112233-04 for Solaris 9 and
T108528-19 for Solaris 8.  We will be trying these out in the
next few days.
