Minimal smb.conf for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard

Hi, I am posting files /etc/smb.conf which work under Mac OS X 10.4.10+ (Tiger) and 10.5 (Leopard) for sharing directory /data to other Linux/Windows machines on LAN without password.

For Mac OS X 10.4.10+ Tiger (Samba 3.0.10) trick was to specify guest account and security. For sharing read/write, uncomment last line.

[global]
  guest account = unknown
  security = share
  server string = skynet
  netbios name = skynet
  guest ok = yes
  oplocks = yes
[data]
 path = /data
# read only = no

For Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (Samba 3.0.25b-apple) remove security line:

[global]
  guest account = unknown
  server string = skynet
  netbios name = skynet
  guest ok = yes
  oplocks = yes
[data]
 path = /data
# read only = no

Binding process to specific CPU

Hi, there is easy way to bind process for specific CPU under Linux and Solaris.

Under Linux to bind process to CPU 0:

 taskset -c 0 process

To bind existing process with PID 22560 to processor 1:

taskset -pc 1 22560

For NUMA systems look at numactl utility.

Under Solaris to bind process with PID 208 to CPU 2:

pbind -b 2 208
