I have moved my Access DB to Mandrake 9.2 running Samba 2.2.8 I can access the data base from one of my WinXp boxes, but if I try to access it at the same time from another WinXP boxes I get "Could Not Lock File" I am running a Peer To Peer network not a domain. Any one know how to get around this problem. Thanks
For multi-user database files you should disable oplocking for the sahre that the files reside in. Place these in the definition for that share in your smb.conf file. oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no Do a man smb.conf and look for more details on oplocks.

Hello Jim. I server access files from 2.2.8 also here. I have oplocks = no for the share i have them on. This will let more then one open the file but only one can write to it the others have read only access. as far as i know only one person here writes to the file at a time an the others can read/ pull info from the file into other files ect ect. hope this helps. jack malone network admin horizon industries At 09:47 AM 4/21/2004, tom wrote:>I have moved my Access DB to Mandrake 9.2 running Samba 2.2.8 >I can access the data base from one of my WinXp boxes, but if I try to >access it at the same time from another WinXP boxes I get "Could Not Lock File" > >I am running a Peer To Peer network not a domain. > >Any one know how to get around this problem. >Thanks > >-- >To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the >instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
