<title>Tell me about Trust Relationships using Samba</title>
<para>
Like many, I administer multiple LANs connected together using NT trust
relationships. This was implemented about 4 years ago. I now have the
occasion to consider performing this same task again, but this time, I
would like to implement it solely through samba - no Microsoft PDCs
anywhere.
</para>
<para>
I have read documentation on samba.org regarding NT-style trust
relationships and am now wondering, can I do what I want to? I already
have successfully implemented 2 samba servers, but they are not PDCs.
They merely act as file servers. I seem to remember, and it appears to
be true (according to samba.org) that trust relationships are a
challenge.

These are almost complete in Samba 3.0 snapshots. The main catch
is getting winbindd to be able to allocate uid/gid's for trusted
users/groups. See the updated Samba HOWTO collection for more
details.

<title>Samba performance problem due changing kernel (2.4.20 Linux kernel)</title>
<para>
Hi everyone. I am running Gentoo on my server and samba 2.2.8a. Recently
I changed kernel version from linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r10 to
linux-2.4.20-wolk4.0s. And now I have performance issue with samba. Ok
many of you will probably say that move to vanilla sources...well I ried
it too and it didn't work. I have 100mb LAN and two computers (linux +
Windows2000). Linux server shares directory with DivX files, client
(windows2000) plays them via LAN. Before when I was running 2.4.19 kernel
everything was fine, but now movies freezes and stops...I tried moving
files between server and Windows and it's trerribly slow.
</para>
<para>
Grab mii-tool and check the duplex settings on the NIC.
My guess is that it is a link layer issue, not an application
layer problem. Also run ifconfig and verify that the framing
error, collisions, etc... look normal for ethernet.

<title>Corrupt tdb Files</title>
<para>
<screen>
Well today it happend.... our first major troubles using samba. This is
no complaints but just some questions :-)
Our samba PDC server has been hosting 3 TB of data to our 500+ users
[Windows NT/XP] for the last 3 years using samba, no problem.
But today all shares went SLOW; very slow. Also the main smbd kept
spawning new processes so we had 1600+ running smbd's.... ( while
normally we avg. 250 ).
It crashed the SUN E3500 cluster twice. After alot of searching I
decided to rm ./var/locks/*.tbl and YES I was happy again.
Q1) Is there any method of keeping the *.tbl files in top condition or
how to early detect corruption?
Q2) What I also would like to mention is that the service latency seems
alot lower then before the locks cleanup, any ideas on keeping it top notch?
