Ok, i got samba up and running and can see the directories i want to be able to see on my network, but it is really slow. From a windows to windows transfer or file open it is just a little under a 100 mb connection. However it takes minutes just to open a file on the linux box.I have attached my conf file, but i do no think in it lies the answer...Please help Op RH 7.1
No problems with telnet or ftp proto's. Good idea I had not tried that. I looked around and it is a common problem with most of the linux systems. I went to the samba documentation and they explain the problem but dont give any answers.

This configuration works fine (very fast).... is only one master controller (samba server) with a bunch of clients on the SAME subnet (ethernet segment). I would suggest you try something like this (without SSL) first to see if this is fast for you.
I'm reviving this ancient thread because I couldn't easily find an answer to this problem myself, so I hope this answer will help some people out.
I fixed the very slow loading of folders by adding this line:
Code:
name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts
If you look in the Samba HOWTO Collection, you'll see that the default order is host, lmhost, wins, bcast. I think the crucial thing is to have wins first. Try for yourself, hope it helps, cheers.
Hi,
I have RHEL 6.1 on VM, where Big data is installed. Every 3-4 days, its web interface become very slow and I had to reboot this VM. I was checking with "top" and that shows that free memory is less. Can this be a reason for slowness ? No big load on CPU.

Typically I get a response within... (3 Replies)
