We have a customer system running Slackware Linux (kernel 2.4.25) and Samba. The customer was running Samba 2.2.8 but we recently upgraded them to Samba 3.0.13. The customer has a FileMaker database on a public share. Before the upgrade, the customer was able to have multiple concurrent access to the database. After the upgrade, only the first user to access the database was successful. Everybody else received a "File already opened by another user" error. My first thought on this was that it was an oplock issue. However, setting 'oplocks = no' did not resolve the problem. I even tried 'level2 oplocks = no' with no joy. I set the log level to 3 and found this: [2005/06/23 16:15:24, 3] smbd/dosmode.c:unix_mode(111) unix_mode(FileMaker DB/main/Player File.fp5) returning 0666 [2005/06/23 16:15:24, 2] smbd/open.c:check_share_mode(530) Share violation on file (2,2,2,3129,FileMaker DB/main/Player File.fp5,fcbopen = 0, flags = 2) = 0 [2005/06/23 16:15:24, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user opened file FileMaker DB/main/Player File.fp5 read=Yes write=Yes (numopen=1) At first glance this looks to me like Samba reported a problem with multiple access, but opened the file anyway. I'm looking through the Samba source to see if I can figure out what is going on, I thought I would ask the list if anybody knows what I'm missing. Here is the current smb.conf: [global] passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 ldap suffix = "o=Company,c=US" ldap group suffix = "ou=Groups" ldap user suffix = "simpleObject=File Sharing,ou=Users" ldap admin dn = "cn=Manager,o=Company,c=US" ldap ssl = no null passwords = yes encrypt passwords = yes log file = /usr/local/samba/log netbios name = MSBLSERVER workgroup = WORKGROUP log level = 3 max log size = 10000 security = user wins support = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY admin users = manager oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no server string = Company File Server [pub] path = /var/public browseable = yes guest ok = no read only = no create mask = 0666 directory mask = 0777 Any thoughts?
