Hi. I start to manage small network with about twenty workstation. There is an old DELL with Novell 3 as file server and spooler for four printers. Clients (Win98 and WinXP) runs dos applications written in clipper and foxpro. Everything works fine, but... :) I want to migrate file server and spooler in to new server with RHEL5. Cups works fine, but Samba not. DOS apps randomly hangs or freeze for few sec. without any any reason. Someone told me to try Samba 2.2.8a and reedit smb.conf I turning off "read/write raw" also change "blocking locks", "locking", "kernel oplocks" and "strict locking" options. Now frequency of hangs is smaller then before, but it's still. Anyone help? PS. Sorry for my english.
