samba: Change default process model to prefork
Prefork is the more sensible default option now, as it better
handles a large number of client connections.

This means a difference in the number of samba +child processes that are created to handle client connections. The previous +default would create a separate process for every LDAP or NETLOGON client +connection. For a network with a lot of persistent client connections, this +could result in significant memory overhead. Now, with the new default of +'prefork', the LDAP, NETLOGON, and KDC services will create a fixed number of +worker processes at startup and share the client connections amongst these +workers. The number of worker processes can be configured by the 'prefork +children' setting in the smb.conf (the default is 4). REMOVED FEATURES ================ |
