the TTL setting is in seconds - perhaps what you are looking for?

Giles,
what's really weird is that if I keep increasing the Cache TTL and Cache size, the speed of transfer starts dropping.
Perhaps I haven't hit the sweet spot yet however,
running:
auth_cache_size = 160000 B auth_cache_ttl = 8 hours
I am actually knocking off 4 seconds from half size values.
To be honest I just whish I could understand what is going on in order to get the transfer sub-3 minutes!
Regards,
Kaya I would have thought that just enabling a simple cache would have given you a little performance increase, but unless you have a lot of users tweaking the values ought not to give you much more of a performance gain. In any case, the bottleneck appears to be your authentication mechanism, for which you're using a samba tool (presumably for AD integration). The key to this at the end would be to actually get a performance gain from
