similar to: Samba lock X Unix fcntl() lock

I first asked this question at the end of October, got a response which didn't solve the problem, and have finally got back to the issue now. I'm running 2.2.7a, recently upgraded from 2.2.0 as Domain Logons for Win2K were suspected to be part of my problem. Anyway, the issue relates to AutoCAD (actually a vertical product called Land3) and a command which works with winXX boxes, but

Hello, I am trying to work out the file locking mechanism on our Samba server when connecting from Linux clients. I am getting some strange behaviour in a mixed Linux/Windows environment when multiple clients open/lock the same file for writing. Everything seems fine when a Windows client creates the lock, but if a Linux client creates the lock, we get either two or more Linux clients being able

Sorry for such a long post as my first to the list, but in an effort to forego a long back and forth question/answer session via email, I think if I post all the information that I currently have someone may be able to more quickly spot my issue. The server in question is a Gentoo server running Samba 3.0.11. The basic problem is that when person A opens an AutoCad file, person B is unable to

Hello I use a new samba server with LDAP support as PDC for some Windows2000 and WindowsXP machines. All is working nice. The useer can login with a user/password in the domain, we have remote profiles, the user can access the samba shares and print etc. But after some time (< 1 day) we get a smbstatus output like the attached file. Users are connected multiple times with the same share

I help an NT admin that has recently added a redhat 8.0 based samba server to his network. the share is one that is a core service for the operation of the business and has about 50 users constantly accessing data from several accounting and tax preparation applications.

All, I'm running the latest stable version of SerNet-Samba on a Debian Sarge box (I switched from the traditional Samba package for certain reasons which I won't delve into here), but I've come across a serious issue. Every day, the Samba processes become so numerous that the server begins acting really flaky. That is to say, there are so many smbd -D processes that the server

Hello, I am having to major issues with Mac clients on our samba server. One has to do with how the Mac vs. the PC locks files and the other has to do with a very slow connection to one of our larger shares. 1.) File locking issue: I am having a strange problem occur with shared excel and word files being opened by multiple users. The problem appears to be a result of a Mac opening the file

Hi, I have one NAS which I can access via NFS or Samba. This storage is accessed by 2 linux servers with Samba where I re-export the NAS share. This is sort of an active/active loadbalancing cluster. The only thing not working is locking... If a client opens a Word-File via server1 and another opens the same via server2 it won't inform the user that he can only open the file readonly. I was

Hi... I've been running samba 3.0 for quite some time now (Debian's stable version, currently 3.0.14) and I've had no problems. That's probably been because all my clients were Windows XP boxes. I've now moved several users to Linux (Ubuntu Breezy) as their desktop and I've noticed there seems to be a problem in accessing files across the platforms. If a Linux box

We have a server which runs Samba and Apache. Web developers edit their files (via Windows mapped drives) from Windows XP SP2. These files are typically CGI files and the developers' routine is: while (web page not quite right) { 1. Edit file 2. Save 3. Click Reload on web browser 4. Check results } They go around that loop many times during a typical development run.

Hello, Sorry to bother all with this simple(?) configuration question, Little background: I recently migrated our samba server from Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 14.04.1.LTS.

My samba server is member of a windows domain, that is controlled by a Domain Controller running Windows Server 2008. We have three types of

Hi folks, we are running a clustered Samba Fileserver using CTDB with two public IPs. We observed the following (mis) behavior: If user A with write permissions opens an excel file via public ip A and User B opens the same file via public ip B, both users get a Deny-Write lock on the same file and overwrite each others changes: 0:3693691 145522 DENY_WRITE 0x12019f RDWR
