Re: smb:// very slow

[Greg <ghaywood internode on net>]

I have always found nautilus and smb unusable, until now. After copying
the smb.conf to .smb it works just fine!
This is one of those things that gets a solution but it is not announced
(or at least I did not know), and I use Gnome at work and play and
always try to keep the latest and greatest versions.

Is there a central web location somewhere that details all the
functionality of nautilus, and how to configure it for various
situations?
