[Samba] disabling extended security attributes

[Learner Study]

Hello:

Can someone please let me know how to disable "Extended Security
Negotiation" from samba server. Either using config file or just
comment it out in C code...

I'm running 3.0.25.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! that worked...I had disabled the code from negprot.c.

BTW, are there more commands like this I could use to improve perf
against windows 2003 client.

Thanks a lot!

This isn't a performance tuning command, and I doubt you will notice any
change with a modern client such as Windows 2003, unless your network is
badly misconfigured.

Indeed, it can actually reduce performance, because it will turn off
Kerberos (which, if set up correctly, can improve performance compared
with NTLM).

Thanks!

Is there any documentation on performance tricks that may be used -
specifically with samba running against windows 2003 client (with
IOZone benchmarking app). I have seen a write up in internet that
talks about tuning max xmit, read size etc. but that is not helping.

I'm interesting to know if there is a full list of parameters that
user can tune....

Thanks in advance for any pointers...
