Samba

[Jim Suber]

I've been trying to use Samba to replace my Novell 3.2 server.
 I'm using a Paradox Database. Everthing seems to work but alas
 VERY SLOWLY. Any database operation (i.e. queries) takes forever and
 is unusable. My users and my boss are accustomed to a certain level
 of performance that I have been unable to achieve with Samba using
 better/faster hardware.

 Can Samba be configured to operate as fast as
 N3.2 for database operations?

I amm using Linux 5.2 and I assume Samba 2.0

Thanks
