I have Samba 2.2 running on a SCO UNIX 5.0.7
My Problem: The file transfer performance is slow and gets worse as more
users log in.
At times, if two users open the same file at the same time they may get
hang.
AS follows is the configuration of the smb.conf file
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
