Hello,
I have a Fecora Core 3 with the default Samba that is included with
Fedora installed. This is a replacement for a Red Hat 8/Samba 2.? server.
The users run an industry specific customer/job tracking software bassed
on MS-Access 2000 as well as basic file sharing.
My basic file shares work OK. But, the Access database is now having
problems. Specificly, when new orders are created they sometimes have
the same order number. Also, when two machines try to create a new
order within minutes of eachother i get a Microsoft Jet Database Error
saying that a part of the file is open by someone else.
I know this sounds like software, but i've exhausted all avenues with
them, and it has only started with the new server.
In searching i've found i should disable oplocks. I've done that and
Level2 Oplocks as well. I've Disabled all file locking on that share
and still get errors.
The directory and files are 777 and the owner is nobody.
Here is my share description:
[pp2000]
oplocks = no
writeable = yes
locking = no
path = /srv/PrintersPlan2000
force directory mode = 777
force group = nobody
sync always = yes
strict sync = yes
force create mode = 777
force user = nobody
guest only = yes
public = yes
create mode = 777
directory mode = 777
On the old server i had this:
[pp2000]
path = /srv/PrintersPlan2000
writeable = yes
guest ok = Yes
and everything was OK.
Any Help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel H. Latshaw
