samba and large files (>2GB)

[Eric Mah]

Hi Peter,
    Thanks for your reply.  I did compile a new libc with large file
support, but
Samba still didn't work. Turns out the source for Samba does have large
file
support, however its disabled by default. I set the flag, recompiled and I
am
now able to do some large file transactions. I'm still in the process of
testing
but all looks good so far.

                        Thanks again,

                                Eric
