i've set up this server here that's doing an _insane_ amount of work, but as far as i know, it _should_ be able to handle it... the problem is, it doesn't look like it is.
the problem is this: samba is installed and running with about 4 shares, i can browse through each directory without incident, but when i ask it to open a file from windows into something like homesite, and then save it, i have to wait about 30seconds for it to save... this seems to happen at random as other times, there's no lag time in saving. i've attached the contents of my smb.conf file, but i'm not even sure if that's the problem since i've been having similar issues from mac to linux using netatalk. from the mac (os9) to the linux box, transfers take about a minute to actually initiate. the message on the mac side is something like "preparing to transfer..." even for small files (ie. 72k). here's the hardware configuration. celeron500 128mb ram hda: 8gb hdc: 80gb no cdrom 10/100 network software installed and running (i need all of this, but is it too much?) apache mysql samba netatalk xinetd running proftpd sendmail named (not yet, but i had plans) from uptime: 9:45am up 1day, 19:54, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 gkrellm isn't registering much trouble either. ---- smb.conf ---- [global] security = user workgroup = netgenetix encrypt passwords = yes hide dot files = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd server string = netgenetix development server [homes] comment = %U's home directory valid users = %S map archive = no guest ok = no read only = no create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0775 locking = no browseable = no public = no [development] map archive = no path = /home/web/development valid users = @web force group = web comment = shared development area browseable = yes public = yes writeable = yes read only = no printable = no force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 inherit permissions = yes [transfer] map archive = no path = /home/web/transfer valid users = @web force group = web comment = put your stuff here browseable = yes public = yes writeable = yes read only = no printable = no force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 inherit permissions = yes [archive] map archive = no path = /home/web/archive valid users = @web force group = web comment = past projects for reference only browseable = yes public = yes writeable = yes read only = no printable = no force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 inherit permissions = yes [common files] map archive = no path = /home/web/common_files valid users = @web force group = web comment = the stuff we all use but can never find browseable = yes public = yes writeable = yes read only = no printable = no force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 inherit permissions = yes thanks for any help someone out there can provide... _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer ten thousand times has the labour movement stumbled and bruised itself. we have been enjoined by the courts, assaulted by thugs, charged by the militia, traduced by the press, frowned upon in public opinion, and deceived by politicians. but notwithstanding all this and all these, labour is today the most vital and potential power this planet has ever known, and its historic mission is as certain of ultimate realisation as is the setting of the sun. - eugene v. debs (1894) _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
