Hi, I 've got a problem. I have a big dir to share (it contains big files hundred of MB each one) and I want that only twice are downloadable at a time. I want to limit the number of download in fact to 2. I've found the max connections options I tried but It seems to doesn't work as I can download more at least 3 files at time. I also put the lock dir option and that doesn't changes. here my smb.conf ... If someone had idea ? thanks a lot :) version : 2.999+3.0.alpha21-3 for Debian # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2003/01/17 11:10:11 # Global parameters [global] server string = %h server (Samba %v) security = SHARE encrypt passwords = No obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = tdbsam, unixsam passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . log level = 1 syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY read raw = yes write raw = yes oplocks = yes max xmit = 65535 dead time = 15 name resolve order = wins bcast lmhosts host dns proxy = No wins server = 172.20.3.107 ldap ssl = no lock dir = /var/run/samba/locks panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d comment = Home Directories invalid users = root directory mask = 0711 browseable = No [printers] comment = All Printers path = /tmp create mask = 0700 printable = Yes [share] path = /share read only = No create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes browseable = Yes [src] comment = SRC path = /mnt/src guest ok = Yes browseable = Yes available = No [INSA] path = /home/seb/INSA guest ok = Yes browseable = Yes available = No [doc] comment = Documentation path = /home/seb/doc guest ok = Yes browseable = Yes [zzz] guest ok = Yes browseable = Yes comment = (2 connexions max) wide links = no level2 oplocks = yes path = /media/zzz strict locking = yes max connections = 2 _______ __ ( O O ) ( ) | ) \_/ .". --oOOo--( )--oOOo----------------/V\--- Sebastien Person // \\ tel.: 06 70 00 08 95 /( )\ sebastien.person@insa-rouen.fr ^'~'^
