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.
