Hi Everybody, I seem to still be having problems with the caching of files on the PC. I have tried to set the oplocks = false variable in the smb.conf file but that has not seemed to help. Here is what I do to see the problem Open a file on the PC, the close it. Go to a unix machine and modify the file. Go back to the PC and re-open the file. I will get the old copy of the file for a few

Greetings All, I am trying to turn off oplocks and can not seem to figure out which parameters to use. I have tried setting oplocks = False in both the global section and in my share section. I have also tried setting veto oplock files = /*.txt/ in my share section. Each time I try this and restart the smbd program I get the same behaviour on the PC side. The file is cached on the PC side (I

I thought I had things figured out, but guess not. I have multi-user Quickbooks databases that functioned fine on a Novell server but are behaving badly on a Samba share. I have created a separate share for the Quickbook databases, users are running Win XP Pro, latest patches, and the Quickbooks application installed on the desktop. It is a multiuser version. Server is RedHat ES 3, Samba

In order to deal with bizarre MS Office junk, it looks like I may have to disable oplocks on my samba server. What kinds of problems, if any could arise from my having disabled the oplocks? Alex Laslavic Havertys Tech Services

Dear all, We have samba-3.0.11 on freebsd 5.4 as file/print server it works perfect, but if two users open the same file together the second still can write to the file it cannot be allowed in you situation. But the other server with freebsd 4.11 doesn't have this problem perfectly do write lock on open file, so may be it's freebsd 5.x problem? I can't find what's wrong,

Hi We've here some problems with Samba on a freeBSD-Server. FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE Samba Version 3.0.25a The problem is about locking of open files. For example when a user A opens a excel-sheet and a user B also opens the same file, user B won't only open this file as read-only. We moved from a Windows Server to a freebsd based one about 2 weeks ago and we also had some problems with dbs

Hi there, Can somebody please explain to me why Samba 3 requires 'oplocks = no' on shares for programs like Quickbooks to operate properly with multiple users, where Samba 2 didn't? Without this option, Quickbooks will complain about file corruption when a second user tries to open a file. This option, however, makes the particular share that the option is present in _very_ slow

Greetings All, Does anyone know how to turn oplocks off? I have tried everything I can think of to disable this feature but each time the PC will cache the file.

Hello everybody, I have 2 questions about Samba operation: First, hostnames don't work in my "hosts allow" directive, although smb.conf(5) explicitly says "You can specify the hosts by name or IP number". If I specify a client by its name, that client is not allowed access, even though the server can do reverse DNS on the client's IP. The message I get in the
