[NBLUG/talk] Samba running slow...

[Todd Cary]

I checked the smb.conf (it was set using the GUI interface) and Security 
was set to DOMAIN rather than Server.  Of course I had to set the name 
of the server in the following line.

This appears to be one of the short comings of the GUI 
interfaces....VERY convenient for Windows people like me, but they are 
not comprehensive enough.  "Firewall" was set in the GUI as the name of 
the password server.

Sorry for not seeing this in the beginning (I was able to compare the 
smb.conf on my "working" server) and discovered the difference.
