Very slow writes to Samba server

[Jonathan Peterson]

Hi,

I'm using the latest samba with encrypted passwords, on a RedHat 5.0 linux
box. I'm using a compiled version of samba rather than an RPM.

Writing to the server from a win95 machine is VERY slow. 50Mb files take
10+ minutes to write. Reading from the server is as fast as normal. All the
hardware involved (server, network, client) is very fast an underused, so I
don't think that's a problem.

The only thing out of ordinary that I can see is that 'smbstatus' tends to
show far more locked files than it did in earlier version, but I was
assuming that was simply a change in Samba.

Has anyone else experienced this ever?
