[TriLUG] samba and SMP in Sarge

[Tommy Williams]

No problems here with an SMP kernel. I'm on a dual celeron machine
with a standard FC2 kernel. Samba serves the windows machines in the
house with their "My Documents" folders. I havent encountered any
problems since I set it up months ago, though I have been fairly
specific with my smb.conf file too.
