[TriLUG] Kernel compilation class

[Roy Vestal]

Never had any problems with my RH servers running samba. Mod kernels or
stock. Heck, I have one now running Win4Lin patches, and VMware on the same
box and samba compiled saying "okey doke".

The only problem I've seen with the newer Samba pkg (2.2.5 and above) is
that gettext and popt are required. I don't remember the rev's right off the
top of my head.

Amen.  I know a 15 seat CPA firm that just invested $$$ only to use
Winblows 2000 for an open share without any security.  Samba would
definitely be a viable alternative.

How about the specialty role of the Samba server?

At my former job the primary Samba server was used continuously by 200+
folks using a stock Red Hat Kernel.  I kept throwing other services on
it,
and it never missed a beat.  The server was running a VALinux modified
RedHat 6.2 install. Whatever tweaks VALinux did kept the server up and
running much better than the default Red Hat kernel release of 6.2.

Actually, our goals are one in the same.  By compiling kernels to run
the minimum necessary services and by distributing http, smtp, ftp,
file/print services onto separate computers, one minimizes the
probability for catastrophic system failure in a corporate environment.

We could always throw in a little kickstart and g4u into the mix...

I would rather like to see how to optimize the kernel for a corporate
environment.  As an example that recently crossed the list: how to
configure it for maximum stability in an environment with a massive
number of simultaneous connections.
