I am looking at putting the medisoft application on a samba share. I was wondering if there is currently anyone using this configuration and if so then what are some of the problems that I might encounter. The app is currently being hosted on a Winxp pro machine and I need to move it to a server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Scott Swaim

I have a setup that uses access files as a back-end database (sadly, I'm serious here - and no it's definitely not my creation), and we needed to veto the oplocks on those files to ensure usability. Check out the veto oplocks configuration option for samba. -- Matt Skerritt matt.skerritt@agrav.net
