I need to set oplocking in smb.conf.I had it running for a while but on some windows pc's when i deleted a file it stayed there when attemping to delete for second time it threw an error saying file did not exist etc. I suspect this is windows problem so when i enable oplocking do i need to do anything on the windows pc's. I noticed this in the samba docs and wanted to confirm its the right thing to do ( nt4 and XP machines by the way ) ----------------------------------------------------- The following registry entries on Microsoft Windows XP Professional, 2000 Professional and Windows NT4 workstation clients must be configured as shown here: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\LanmanServer\Parameters] "EnableOplocks"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters] "UseOpportunisticLocking"=dword:00000000 -------------------------------------------------------- Sage is proving to be a pain in general Regards Terry
