Data Corruption with Win2K clients & ACT 2000 database
Greetings, I read with interest the few posts in the archives discussing problems I have recently encountered with data corruption of an ACT 2000 database residing on a Samba 2.07 share, SuSE Linux 7.1 (2.2.28 kernel), with about 25 Win2K clients. I did not, however, see any apparent resolution to this major problem - I either am going to have to rebuild from scratch my current Win2K Server, or (yes, please!) replace it with a Linux box running SAMBA for the Win2K clients. I had one guy on the SuSE list claim that he was having occasional corruption of regular document files, though on a much less regular basis (once every ten days or so), and he says when he upgraded to SuSE 7.1 *** WITH THE 2.4 KERNEL *** these problems disappeared. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone ever found a resolution to this problem (going back to WinNT40 or Win98 is not an option per my boss). TIA for any help/suggestions Charles Marcus I.T.

Data Corruption with Win2K clients & ACT 2000 database
Oh, one more thing - I read somewhere that SAMBA requires Netbeui on the M$ clients - is this still the case? I did NOT have Netbeui installed on the Win2K clients, but they could see the share, map a drive to it, and access the database very well - aside from the eventual (30 mins to an hour) corruption of the database (deleting the indexes and allowing a full rebuild fixes the problem). Eagerly awaiting some replies Charles -----Original Message----- From: samba-admin@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-admin@lists.samba.org]On Behalf Of Charles Marcus Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2001 2:51 PM To: samba@us5.samba.org Subject: Data Corruption with Win2K clients & ACT 2000 database Greetings, I read with interest the few posts in the archives discussing problems I have recently encountered with data corruption of an ACT 2000 database residing on a Samba 2.07 share, SuSE Linux 7.1 (2.2.28 kernel), with about 25 Win2K clients.
