[Devil-Linux-discuss] DL 1.2.9 upgrade from 1.2.6 (SMP Server) - but slow?

[Dom <dl...@ed...>]

Today I tried to upgrade from 1.2.6-SMP-Server to 1.2.9-SMP-Server, but 
after upgrading Samba seemed to run very very slow and I have now 
downgraded back to 1.2.6.

Does anyone know why this might be? There seemed to be a problem with 
the system daemon on loading, and SWAT reported files in sharing mode 
'DENY_DOS' which I have never seen before with 1.2.6. I guess I got 
something wrong in selecting configuration files to retain on the 
upgrade (I just went with DL choices which looked good to me), but I 
would prefer to use the current version if poss.

Having said that 1.2.6 is rock-solid and provides us with a fast and 
hassle-free Samba server. And it is great to be able to switch back to a 
previous version just by restoring a single file on USB stick and 
putting in the different CD. It's not so easy with Windoze!

Thanks for any advice! And to Heiko and the guys for the great 
Devil-Linux product!

P.S. does anyone know how to delete a non-existent (second) NIC card 
from the configuration? It causes an apparent (but harmless) load 
failure at boot time.
