Hi, I have a problem with MacOS X clients (all 10.3.8) accessing a Samba server on FreeBSD (RELENG_5). Transferring files will often occur very very slowly, usually between 170k/sec-32k/sec. This doesn't happen with a Windows or Linux server and likewise if the clients are Windows or Linux. The version of Samba also seems to have no effect. NFS performance is fine, as is iperf doing a TCP test. The machines are all connected on a 100Mb/sec switched network. I've tried toggling various net.inet.tcp sysctls to see if any make a difference (delayed ACKs, SACK etc), but nothing seems to have any effect. Any ideas on how I can further debug this? is there something obvious that could be wrong? I tried doing a tcpdump, but I couldn't really make enough sense of it to know if there was something wrong. Thanks in advance. Phil Murray pmurray@nevada.net.nz
