win95 & NT4 concurent access to paradox database
Hi, I use samba for one year only, but with full satisfaction. Only with latest cvs tree I discovered some (maybe particular) problem. In mixed environment of win95oemII and NT4 workst (sp3 or sp4) we share some Paradox 7.0 database on linux server (Rh5.2 and 2.2.0-pre1 kernel). Paradox controls multiuser access to the data with three files: PDOXUSRS.NET (user names etc?), and two lock files, PDOXUSRS.LCK and PARADOX.LCK. Since I upgraded samba from 1.9.18p10 to latest cvs, Paradox is not able to access those files from NT while I access data from win95. If accessed only from NT, there is no problem. Packet dump shows access error (DOSERR 5). I didn't observed any similar behaviour for Access 97. I have read on this list some good advice - get to the postgreSQL. Yes, I am working on it, but in meantime I would like to get this working. Did anyone observed similar problems with concurent access from 95 and NT? I do not use any special oplock options or whatever. this is part of my smb.conf: [database] comment = RSS Database path = /home/samba/database public = no writable = yes browseable = yes printable = no force user = gandalf write list = gandalf, april, christin, leona, eva, sylvie, phil, robin Thank you for your help.
