Chris Piazza 9994a0349b Add a patch to fix a problem with very low write speeds with samba on freebsd. Following is description made by one of the Samba developers: "The problem is we switched to using recv() with the MSG_WAITALL flag instead of read(). This makes Samba faster on most systems. On FreeBSD it causes a massive slowdown and I don't know why. To fix it, change the definition of MSG_WAITALL to be zero in lib/util_sock.c and recompile 2.0.5a. I'm hoping someone from FreeBSD will get back to me with some explanation. Regards, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team." This problem where observed by almost all samba-2.0.5a users and typically it led to 10-20x decrease in write speed.

README.FreeBSD

If you want to use samba ports,

1. Copy /usr/local/etc/smb.conf.default to /usr/local/etc/smb.conf, and edit
   it.
2. Copy /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh.sample to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh
3. Type /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh or reboot.

See document files in /usr/local/share/doc/samba and example config files in
/usr/local/share/examples/samba for details.

FreeBSD Samba ports for localization and encrypt passwords support are no
longer provided because these supports have been integrated into the
original distribution since 1.9.18.  If you're Western European or Japanese
Windows users, please set "client code page" parameter in smb.conf (1.9.18
does not support Chinese Windows. If you want to use Chinese samba, please
use chinese/samba port).  See smb.conf.sample for details.  If you want to
use NT4+SP3 or Win95+updates clients, set "encrypt passwords" parameter to
yes and use smbpasswd [username] to use /usr/local/private/smbpasswd for
authentication.
