Samba 2.0.5a doesn't get along with FreeBSD very well. 2.0.6 has a workaround for the MSG_WAIT bug (?)which lead to weirdness such as full speed when copying from the Samba server, but only a tenth when copying to it. > Now I know you haven't updated your ports with cvsup, either that or > you haven't looked since updating.

I'm using the ports-supfile in the /usr/share/examples/cvsup directory. > Tell me about it. If it's a problem symlink /usr/ports/disfiles to > a dir on a larger partition.
