Hi, I turned on "use sendfile", not too long after (on the next "logon") someone called me. His Windows 95 was having trouble opening files on the server. He can "explore" the shared volume but when trying to open a file, his computer hangs and needs to reboot. I've been using "sendfile" myself wi

Hi, Quick follow up... the problem was on another server. After the last reboot, not too long ago, "fast-ethernet" negotiation between the Cisco switch and the Sun server did not work properly. Cisco switch negotiated at 100Mbps/full and the Sun server in half duplex. Pierre B. Pierr

Weird problems with Samba 2.2.8 under Solaris 8 + latest kernel patch

Hello all, This weekend, we upgraded our Samba servers to 2.2.8 (pre3 according to the include/version.h -- CVS "synced" this past Saturday afternoon, EDT). I compiled this new release for the following Solaris/kernel : Solaris 6 : kernel patch 105181-33 Solaris 7 : kernel patch 106541-23 So

Re: Solaris fcntl CPU/Lock update

Jeff, Ok, you're using nss_ldap from PDAL to use /etc/nsswitch.conf like passwd: ldap files (or reverse) group: ldap files etc Right? (From what I recall that's what nss_ldap is used for). If you did not compile with Samba, it means that if you do "ldd" on "smbd" it should not print "libthread"

Arthur, If there is a collision (2 or more directories with the same name), what do you think would be the best thing to do? I understand the idea of merging "2 directories", I think I would use such a "feature". I think the "VFS module" should actually support "n" directories. For the moment,
