You re-started smbd?

Yeah, I did a 'service smb restart' and everything came back OK.  Just
for grins I rebooted the server about an hour ago, just in case I missed
something.  No dice, same thing.

Still, very slow.  ++4hour estimate to copy a 4GB file.  <2mins via FTP.



System info:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)
    Kerlen 2.6.18-8.el5 SMP x86_64
    Samba version 3.0.23c-2
    Eth0 && Eht1 bonded to bond0, 2Gbps.

    /etc/samba/smb.conf attached below...

I'm seeing very slow transfers from Samba....  I'm not sure how else to
describe it.  If I try and copy a 4GB DVD image from the server to any
Windows box (XP, 2003, 2008, MacOS) it estimates more than 4 hours to
copy.  However, if I FTP to the server from any given client I can move
the whole file in less than 2 minutes...

I'm not a Samba expert, so anything is helpful at this point!!!
