Hello all, We are experiencing problems using MYOB Premier V6.0.2 on Windows 2000 computers SP3, with the data file residing on shared drive on Linux (Redhat 7.2) file server running Samba Version 2.2.1a and kernel 2.4.9-34. The MYOB Tech support have told me that it is a problem with our network but could not give me any hints where the problem might be. The MYOB database has been corrupted at least 8 times over the last 4 days and every time we have to go back to our backups thereby losing all of the transactions entered in the interim. Has anyone had any experience with a similar problem and could give me any suggestions? Following is the smb.conf configuration related to the MYOB share [myob] comment = MYOB Directory path = /data/MYOB read only = No admin users = @myob Any Help would be highly appreciated. Thanks, Ramzi -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
Hi Ramzi, Can you see if you have oplocks enabled? Do a './testparm | grep oplock' from your /bin directory. You will have to press enter to complete the command. My output example is below. If oplocks are enabled then you should turn them off I would say. HTH Noel [root@belly bin]# ./testparm | grep oplock kernel oplocks = No oplock break wait time = 0 veto oplock files fake oplocks = No oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No oplock contention limit = 2 -----Original Message----- From: Ramzi S.

I'm using it at a tax business (along with tax wise) and it has been working fine .... however there are only 2 people logged in at the same time. Config is RedHat 7.3 Samba 2.2.4-3 (installed via rpm) Config for share: public = yes writable = yes guest ok = yes printable = no dos filetimes = yes Clients are: Win2k sp2 win98 winme I expect the biggest improvement would be to go to Samba 2.2.5 I plan to upgrade it next month to the newest version (2.2.6 I hope!)
