Hi, could someone please give me the correct entries for using Foxpro with a samba share. I tried everything I can think of in the smb.conf but I am always confronted with locking problems and multiuser issues: Upgraded to version 2.2.5 smb.conf (among other things of course) oplocks=off lock spin count = 3 lock spin time = 25 locking=yes Is there anything you can tell me. It is very urgent and

I have a stock Mandrake 8.1 server running with Samba 2.2.2. Applications like goldmine, ACT, or access etc... keep getting corrupted index's (multiple users using these applications w/ multiuser licenses). This does not happen on NT.

Good morning (or some other time of day :-) ), dear Samba team members ! First: let me say "thank you" for your efforts to provide an alternative for the world! Second: Your product is especially welcome in Russia, where (except Moscow, the capital city) cost of legal copy of W2K or other MS products sounds like something unreal. But there are still some lawful citizens here, so Samba

?We are trying to migrate a Dos based btrieve application from Windows NT to Samba 4?.1.6-Ubuntu. Running one client works, running more that one client do not work. I searched Google and there are many historic pages about issues related to the btrieve / Samba combination. Are there stable solutions of this issue? Kind Regards Hendre

Hello fellow samba users, I have installed quite a couple of samba fileservers so far. There are exactly two installations which give me real hard time, and both have to do with Win9x clients running applications based on ... *sigh* btrieve. What I do server-sided is switch on opportunistic locking (level2 oplocks = yes). Without this, the applications don't run at all, at least not on more

A Windows 2000 Server is a member server of the domain. The domain server is CentOS 4.5 with all updates and Samba 3.0.24 built using the packaging/RHEL/makerpms.sh script. The W2k server is opening this file on the samba server. This problem started several versions of CentOS and Samba ago, and I did the upgrades thinking it would fix it. It did not. It seems to be "locking" or

Goldmine seems to a compiled database application compiled in something likeClipper. Clipper applications record lock through ISAM like files (DBF). However, in Windows NT/2000/XP, Opportunistic locking is turned on by default in order to accelerate file transfer from file services. [Windows 95/98 did not Opportunisticly lock] However, opportunistic locking corrupts ISAM and ISAM like

All, My company uses Goldmine as its contact/sales opportunity manager. (Uses Dbase for it''s DB). I''m trying to get a Rails app to implement the parts of it we actually use.

Hi, First of all, apologies if I'm not posting this in the correct place. I'm successfully running Microsoft Visual Foxpro 7 under Wine, however I needed to use the native versions of shlwapi and oleaut32. There is a major problem still, however, and that is that foxpro will freeze as soon as I use the mouse to click in certain controls (the command window, a textbox, an edit box,

Hello, I understand the function and reason of limits.conf, and I have some limited experience configuring values for (essentially single-user) Oracle systems. How do I understand correctly what my limits should be for multiuser system system, are there best practice guidance? Are there some typical settings this list has had experience with for multiuser environments? Appreciated, Eugene

I am failing to lock a database file on a unix server (Solaris486) when the file lock request is sent from Visual Foxpro on Windows 95. Any suggestions on testing procedures, or even a solution?? Please feel free to assume that I don't know anything about file locks! I don't even know how Visual Foxpro attempts to lock a file. Would the Foxpro lock be recognised by any application?

Hi ! I have an unique situation. An SCO Unixware 7.1.3 with Samba 2.2.7a (yes, i know; it sucks !) On the machine, is running MS Foxpro 2.6 for UNIX (it's running pretty well for several years) but due to new demands (like Crystal Reports, Visual view; etc) the directories with DBF files were shared using Samba. At the beginning, when everything was only about reading, there were no

Hello, What is the best way to protect multiuser systems from brute force attacks? I am setting up a relatively loose DenyHosts policy, but I like the idea of locking an account for a time if too many attempts are made, but to balance this with keeping the user from making a helpdesk call. What are some policies/techniques that have worked for this list with minimal hassle? Thanks! -Eugene

Hello there, I have a serious file locking problem with samba on a RH6 based Linux machine. >From the exported share a database files are being requested.
