I manage several Samba servers: a couple on Sun Ultra II's and a couple on FreeBSD and Linux all managed with an NT PDC. The FBSD boxes NEVER crash. That is to say as soon as I moved Samba from a machine with 64 MB to a machine with 256MB ram. Samba on 3.1-RELEASE is as steady as a rock. On the 64MB machine I was getting core dumps on Samba and amd, and never quite tracked down as to why. The two machines were built from the same sources, have identical mother boards and pretty much the same config.. except the ram.... you see where I'm going. Steady is not the word I would use for the Linux boxes running Samba.... even more ram can't keep these buggers up. Solaris seems to deal with Samba just fine.
