Hi there. One big problem. Samba seems not to take care if any client has opened a public file and another client reads and writes in the meantine to the same file. 1 samba server (linux 2.2.12,wins) connected to 1 win 95 and 1 win98.(tcp/ip only) i configured samba this way : [global] kernel oplocks : no locking : yes ole locking compatibility : yes oplocks : no strict locking : yes share modes : yes [share] blocking locks : yes fake oplocks : no locking : yes oplocks : yes strict locking : yes share modes : yes This is the actual configuration. I also tried different ones but none succeded. Is there perhaps something to configure with the Win95 clients ? Got no idea and data corruption is no fun. :( Thanks in advance, Alex
