I've found tweaked Samba to usually have acceptable performance (>90% of network bandwidth as transfer speed.) The problems that are present seems to be mainly related to client bugs. Some of them trigger on Samba not doing the exact same things as WindowsNT og LANmanager - as an example, Win3.11, Win95, WinNT 3.51 and WinNT 4.0 all have *different* bugs in the code for handling unencrypted passwords. (And I know these to be bugs - I wrote the code to go around them myself.) Anyway; what SMB-manager for UNIX do you suggest, for best performance? Or what other system, for connecting WinNT 4.0 clients? Commercial systems is also of interest. (I'd like something with support for being a Primary Domain Controller - but will probably wait for Samba 2.0) Eivind Eklund / perhaps@yes.no / http://maybe.yes.no/perhaps/
