No changes have been made to the smb.conf file after the upgrade.
Below is the parameters I used compiling with gcc 2.95.2 on Solaris
2.6.
./configure --prefix=/opt/samba2.2.1a
--with-privatedir=/opt/samba2.2.1a/private \
--with-lockdir=/opt/samba2.2.1a/var/locks --with-swatdir=/opt/samba2.2.1/swat \
--with-automount --with-quotas
This system has 162 shares and 144 printers. It is the PDC for our
network.
If you need any further information let me know.
Thanks,
Frank
