Hi fans, i tryed to use samba to share a paradox database which comes with a special trade programs. On a novell server it works fine. But on the samba share I get a corrupted database after some minutes of multi user access. I've tryed some entries in the smb.conf and I think a have a very conservative setting now. I heared of somebody who uses samba successfully with the same application but with a newer linux. I work with suse 6.4 and samba 2.0.6 . May I hope to solve the problem with a linux update? I read in he samba release notes about "several bugfixes in locking" ... but does it solve my problem? thankx nose. __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

It will work OK for a while with oplocks on then corrupt eventually.> I heared of somebody who uses samba successfully with the same > application but with a newer linux.

It's really easy to compile from source if you cannot get a packaged version for the older distribution. 95 clients also have a bugged vredir and vnetsup. These need updated to work properly. These should be available from microsoft. I also disable the network read & write caching on 95 clients. I have a method which is called on starting up the database to ensure these settings are set. ------------------------------------- Paul Cochrane | Tayside Orthopaedic & | | Rehabilitation Technology Centre | ============= |-------------------------------------| | Ninewells Hospital & Med.
