Hi All;
I am setting up Samba as a file server for a network composed of all Windows
XP machines, using RH8.0 and the latest Samba (2.2.7), and I was wondering
if anyone had any suggestions or best practices for this setup, the server
and workstations are all connected to a single 10/100 switch, so the network
is low latency. The major applications are MS Office, outlook for e-mail,
ACT! 6, and 2 users do payroll with quickbooks.
Also, I recently had an ACT! database corrupt when I did a restart to add a
new share, anyone know how to prevent such a thing in the future? (Besides
making sure no-one is using act of course)
I mainly just want to make sure my Samba setup is optimized for this
environment.
