Hi All, We have just moved a client from winblows 2000 to samba server and they are having some teething problems with MYOB Premier version 7.5 and speed of access. They swear and declare that exaclty the same server box is slower running samba 3.0.3 (fedora core 2) than winblows 2000 server file sharing. It's definintly just samba because everything else is running sweet (with the exception of secondcopy2000 doesn't work at all with samba, but that's because it's crap software). I noticed advice from John Terpstra a while ago about the oplocks because of the sucky way MYOB does it's file locking. Also some posts back about 2 years ago about some registry settings for win9x which doesn't apply because I have winXP pro and one win2000 pro. Also, the guy is saying something about the different machines can't send 'messages' to one another? ------------------------- The operation of premier on the tile server is creating more MYOB premier file problems We are getting messages communicating to a particular user is not possible Other messages asking the user to retry recording or printing the transaction Repeating the message for a number of minutes before recording I guess that means we have to use the old server for file sharing MYOB Premier? I cant believe that it can be that bad compared to the old server1 with win2k installed?? --------------------------- Testparm shows: [global] workgroup = CERAMICA server string = Tile security = SHARE guest account = pcguest log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printcap name = /etc/printcap dns proxy = No wins support = Yes idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 printer admin = root, +ntadmin, mwestern, user hosts allow = 10.0.2.0/24, 127. [data] path = /data read only = No create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 guest ok = Yes oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No Gotta love these big companies (here in australia they are well used) that just say 'sorry we don't support linux' or some such crapola reponse because they have a monopoly on the market, or at least the major market stake... Keep it up guys. OSS will win out... Regards Matthew
