Starting the queue M manager doesn't start any queues.  Autostart queues don't start until you do  M an "ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES".  Non autostart queues don't start until you do  M a "START/QUEUE".  Make sure that your environment is ready before you enable   autostart queues.   J Also, the OP mentioned updating the INITs in his script.  It's unclear if M he's talking about his startup scripts but, there's no reason to INIT queues  I during startup and if you have a lot of queues you can seriously improve  M startup speed by eliminating the unnecessary INITS.  The only queue commands  9 needed during startup are the ENABLE and/or START/QUEUEs.      > C > Then again, you couldn't do what LPD$STARTUP needs to do if queue $ > manager (at least) wasn't running. >  > Hhmm...

This version of SAMBA has a per process file cache that  9 is dependent on the amount of files that you are serving.   @ A debug build requires significantly more virtual memory to run.  F Also, I recommend that if you have the memory available, raise up the C WSEXTENT values up much higher.
