[Samba] SCO 5.0.5, samba 2.2.5, copying large files - further testing

[Scott Shackelford]

That could be possible. I've always compiled Samba on the machine after
installing Samba 2.2.3 from SCO/Caldera (use gcc and GNU make and not SCO's
make.) I may not be running into this problem as a result. FYI, from now on
SCO/Caldera will be including Samba in their releases now instead of
VisionFS for their SMB services on all their Unix releases. A very smart
move if you ask me :) Regardless though, if you do have a Intel or 3COM
network card do watch out.

Some further info. I found 2.2.6 on caldera's site, and this seems to
be working find. There was a 17-bit bug in the header in the changelog
for 2.2.6 - Could this have been the problem?

I made no other changes to the SCO box to make this work.
