[Samba] Slow performance with QuickBooks

[Brandon Lederer]

Yes OPLOCKS are off.  My smb.conf file follows:

[global]

    workgroup = HMS
    server string = CBS Quickbooks Server (Samba)

    load printers = yes
    printer admin = @HMS+adminx
    printcap name = cups
    printing = cups
    guest ok = no
    restrict anonymous = yes
    valid users = @HMS+cbsusers, roz, root, dennis
#    invalid users = root
    admin users = root, @HMS+adminx

    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# max size of the log files (in Kb).
    max log size = 1000
#    log level = 100

    syslog = 0

    security = domain
    password server = hms-pdc
    encrypt passwords = yes

    browsable = yes
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=2048
SO_RCVBUF=2048
	#I've been playing with this here..... 8192 made it slower
    oplocks = no
    level2 oplocks = no

    wins server = 192.168.2.5
   dns proxy = no

   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
   passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
   winbind uid = 10000-20000
   winbind gid = 10000-20000
   template shell = /bin/false
   template homedir = /dev/null
   winbind cache time = 10
   winbind separator = +

#and the relevant share
[qbdata]
   comment = QuickBooks Data
   path = /data/qbdata
   browsable = yes
   writable = no
   write list = @HMS+Finance, @HMS+adminx
   create mode = 0770
   force create mode = 0770
