Samba connectios

[Jamie McColl]

Hello, Can someone please provide me with some information regarding samba and how it connects to the server?
I have some performance issues I believe it may be coming from people closing their samba connection but the process still remaining on the server, would that be a possible explanation?
Thanks a bunch.

hi,
i would suggest you to remove SO_KEEPALIVE
in socket options and try again.

Jamie-

Here is a link to the Using Samba book by O'Rielly. there is a section (chapter 3.3) that talks about SMB/CIFS. I don't know if that is what you are looking for or not.

also, you should be able to go the the gui interface and see if the shares are still connected or not.
