I have inheirited a samba-1.9.18p4 running on an alpha machine. I want
to upgrade it to something newer. The machine serves a disk filled with
network installs of our commercial software.
I have tried installing both samba-2.0.7 and samba-2.2.0-alpha2, but
both cause failures on the DOS machines. In specific, Corel WordPerfect
8 exits with an illegal instruction if a newer version of Samba is
running on the file server.
The registry file for corel we use has some references to "\PRODU~2L\"
in
it, instead of "\PRODUCTIVITY\". Could it be that a name mangling
change
between the older and newer samabas is to blame for this?
Below is the legacy smb.conf file the samba server uses. The old samba
had "share modes = no" in it since it was first installed, and no
"lock
directory" defined. After reading the smb.conf man page I decided that
share modes sounded like a good idea, so turned them on.
