I have FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE on a computer that is having Samba
performance problems. Using an Intel EtherExpress Pro100 (100MBit) it
takes 10 times as long to copy the same large file from a Win98
computer to the FreeBSD computer than it takes to copy from a Win98 to
Win98 computer.
On looking at the Samba man page I see that FeeBSD 3.3-RELEASE is
using Samba 2.0.5a. This Samba was installed as a precompiled package
from the 3.3-RELEASE CD-ROM. Could someone please advise me if the
Samba package on the CD-ROM contains this problem. If so I assume it
is best to download Samba 2.0.6.
Thanks in advance
