    Hi,

    I have a problem with MacOS X clients (all 10.3.8) accessing a Samba
    server on FreeBSD (RELENG_5). Transferring files will often occur very
    very slowly, usually between 170k/sec-32k/sec.

    This doesn't happen with a Windows or Linux server and likewise if the
    clients are Windows or Linux. The version of Samba also seems to have no
    effect. NFS performance is fine, as is iperf doing a TCP test. The
    machines are all connected on a 100Mb/sec switched network.

    I've tried toggling various net.inet.tcp sysctls to see if any make a
    difference (delayed ACKs, SACK etc), but nothing seems to have any
    effect. Any ideas on how I can further debug this? is there something
    obvious that could be wrong?

    I tried doing a tcpdump, but I couldn't really make enough sense of it
    to know if there was something wrong.

    Thanks in advance.
