I'm running an MS Access databasen on a RedHat 6.0 Intel box, using Samba 2.0.6. Clients running Win95/98 and WinNT 4.0. When more than 6-7 clients opens the Access database I get an error message like "Table <NAME> is exclusively locked by user <NAME> on machine <NAME>. Error number 3261. (I don't have the exact error message in English since I'm using the Norwegian MS Office 97). The database has recently been moved from a WinNT where it ran without any problems (other than the lack of stability... ;-). My smb.conf (generated by SWAT) [global] workgroup = IC netbios name = TELIX server string = Samba Server on telix log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 dns proxy = No guest account directory mask = 0777 hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127. oplocks = No [FELLES] comment = Felles - telix path = /FELLES force user = felles force group = felles read only = No max connections = 50 mangle locks = Yes I would appreciate any comments and possible solutions. I've sort of promissed my boss that samba on Linux is much better than a NT box, but maybe I'm having a hard time to convince him.... :-( -- Best regards Bj?rn Christian Borgen ____________________________________________________ WebOn AS Brygge Vest, Jarls?, T?nsberg, Norway Direct :+47 33353313 Switch board:+47 33353300 Fax :+47 33353301 Mobile phone:+47 97147653 Web http://www.webon.net E-Mail : bjorn@webon.net ____________________________________________________ WebOn one2one has been launched!
