similar to: locking and file sharing

Hi all. I'm running 1.9.18p5 on a 2.0.33 linux box, and just wanted to make sure I'm doing the file locking the best way. The machine is sharing about 3G of files for about 10 workstations. Most of these files are readable and writable by the majority of the users, and are typically created by PageMaker for NT 4.0 workstations. There are also one or two WFW 486 machines on the network.

SuSE 7.2, Samba 2.2.6 User plaform WIN98se Was wondering if someone could point me to information regarding oplocks (I read the man on smb.conf regarding that and level2 oplocks)... I needed to set oplocks = no and level2 oplocks = no in order for them to be able to open pagemaker files from the samba server...otherwise it would say 'can not open file' I am just trying to get a grip on

I know this has come up before....but.. I've got a locking issue I can't get over. Situation: --------- Unix writes a file to the /tmp directory MS-DOS (WFW 3.11) copys over the file (copy d:\file.txt ), locking it, and not releasing the lock. If Unix subsequently changes the file a re-issuing of the MS-DOS 'copy' command will appear to work ... but the MS-DOS file is

Well, I'm having problems with the SMB printing system. I have spent a lot of time (nearly 15 hours and a houndred of configurations) in it but I could not use it as a printing server.

I just started with Linux a year ago. But I miss some Windows-programs such like Adobe Pagemaker. I've heard that it is possible to run this program with a wine-emulation. So I get a real Windows-system from a friend and copied it to the destination wine is expecting the MS-Windows-system. I could install Pagemaker without problems, but running it is impossible, because at every start,

I have installed samba for the first time and I try to start it in a windows 95 environement. I started nmbd and smbd with the config file listed at the end of this mail (I remove all comment for clarity) I expect to use samba with the SHARE protocol of Windows 95 (No WINS) The new server (sdmpcsv02) is recognised by the other pc's but the can list the exported files The smbclient -L

Hello, I'm looking for some hints on how to run pagemaker succesfully in wine. I run debian unstable and wine daily builds from http://gluck.debian.org/%7Eandreas/debian wine main When I installed Pagemaker 6.5 I had a lot of trouble with the dialogs, some could not be selected sometimes, stuck under other windows. It crashed two times when i tried custom install, as soon as i selected som

Hello everybody I have trouble with my Samba server (1.9.16.P11 or 1.9.18.p0) / LinuX Redhat 4.2 (or SuSE 5.3)(kernel 2.0.30). Here my typo: 1 Samba server 10 Windows 95 clients 2 Windows 98 ....(I 'm a poor guy I know !!) All work fine when the windows users log on the server with different name . (I try with "netlogon" and without it). They have valid unix account and

That was true for P200MMX, 128 Mb RAM, RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.16, XFree86 3.3.6 On weekend,

I am trying to get two WFW PC's talking to via Linux/Samba server Interface. One PC continuously streams binary datafile onto its directory on the server while the other continuously reads it. Information on the size of this file (which can continuously increase up to 3MB) is continuously updated and is stored using a fixed width pointer in the file header. It appears that the second PC

As I mentioned in a previous note, I'm a new Samba administrator. I'm trying to set up both roving profiles and system policies on the Win 95 machines in our computer lab here. I have used the policy editor (POLEDIT.EXE) to define a CONFIG.POL, which I have placed in the [netlogon] share. I also used a newly-installed Win 95 machine to create the exact *initial* configuration of desktop,

Hello group, I can now run Pagemaker 6.5 very well. Fonts and GUI are looking fine. But some special effects I cannot use. Especially positioning RTF-Documents with the Position-Task under File. But positioning TIFF-Pictures is possible. The Error-Message coming up, when trying to set RTF-Documents is the following: "File cannot be found." This is an internal Pagemaker-Error. So

Greetings; I installed PageMaker 7.0 using Wine and that went smoothly. When I try to start PM I get an error "Cannot start PageMaker" "Unable to load icon DLL for this screen" and it has a number at the bottom right of the error window 8027-6623 Anybody have any hints on how to solve this problem? Many thanks! Dennis

Is there anyway to ascertain what shares a client actually has mounted at a given time? I've got a number of WFW boxes connecting shared drives on my SCO-OSE3 box using SAMBA 1.9.16p5 (upgrading to latest version RSN). I've got some shell scripts on the Unix box which use escape sequences sent to the client telnet to start programs on the client side. Some of these programs assume

I'm running Wine 1.0.1, trying to get it to run various old programs: fractint, civ II, and most important: Pagemaker 6.5 . Even when I specify a graphics screen for the fractint, all I get on it is a text cursor which won't curse. Civ II installs nicely in the Wine "C" drive, but won't play --------------------------------------------------------- and the Pagemaker

Hi all. I recently (like, today :) posted a message about the best way to manage two samba servers and ten or so Windows NT 4.0 and 3.51 Workstation machines. I'm not sure if my question was clear, and I've also gathered more information about what exactly I want to do. These are all 3.51 and 4.0 workstation machines; there is no NT server involved. All workstations and two samba

My server is RH 5.2 and i use Samba 1.9.18p10 and the client use WFW 3.11 with tcp/ip protocols installed. The subnet and the IP Address is right but I still only telnet form WFW 3.11 to Linux...not the reverse. On Linux telnet is working. I've checked it through this cmdline "telnet localhost 23 or telnet 127.0.0.1" . And I also testparm smb.conf and nothing wrong happen. FYI I set

Hi folks, in our group we're working with samba on a SunOS 4.1.3 workstation and about 30 wfwg and win95 clients for several time without any trouble (samba-1.9.16p6 release). Now i've installed version 1.9.17p2 and got the following problem: I can't reach directories on an automounted volume on the Server which is not currently mounted by changing directory to that drive on the
