Hi fans, i tryed to use samba to share a paradox database which comes with a special trade programs. On a novell server it works fine. But on the samba share I get a corrupted database after some minutes of multi user access. I've tryed some entries in the smb.conf and I think a have a very conservative setting now. I heared of somebody who uses samba successfully with the same application

Hi folks, I recently upgraded two client/server pairs to WinXP and Samba 2.2.6 (on Linux). Browsing mounted shares causes hangs when right-clicking or double-clicking/ launching files -- about 15 seconds. During this, precious little network activity is occuring. Something is hanging, locking, sleeping. Appreciate any advice. Hope it's a simple fix. If not, I'd appreciate advice on

A recent thread has hinted on slow performances on large directories (thousands of entries) on the ext2/3 filesystem. I appreciate that the answer is to store these directories on a different file system or to reorganise the way you store the files into subdirectories. I'd just like to ask has anyone done any tests to determine approximately what the limit is before slowdown occurs.

Hello there, I've produced a modified version of the smbprint script that comes with the samba source. The script is aimed to retry sending the print job if the windows machine is switched off at the time of printing (samba seems to just drop the print job after a period of time if the machine is off). This script will mail you to tell you the machine isn't turned on yet and if you

Hello there. I'm having a few problems using samba 2.2.3a and sharing a paradox database. On the whole everything works fine but (there's always a but), every now and again. a machine's shares will close causing the database to crash (sometimes only that machine) - the other networked machine recover after a few error messages. I guess the easy answer would be to disable oplocks

Hello, My name is Shane Drinkwater. I am having some problems with samba and printing. It seems that old print jobs will not leave the printer status screen on my 2000/xp clients. It looks to me that the tdb for the offending printer is not being purged when a print job completes. info Fedora Core 5 X86 Samba 3.0.24 smb.conf [global] #================== remote Annouce Settings

[Shane Drinkwater] Daniel, I have the same probelm. These are the steps I did in a previous thread... Jim, I think I found another bug... I really seem to be in printer hell :(....

Hello, It seems that I am in printer hell once again :) I am trying to sort out some printer problems with our UNIX server. The basic problem is this. I have a test server to K.I.S.S the problem. On this server I have defined two queues which are csqlis and HPfinley. csqlis seems to work correctly and displays ready. HPfinley always reads Paused on win2k and NT40 clients.

Hi, Since I had upgraded from Samba 3.0.0 to 3.0.4 I have problems with ArcServe to connect to the share.

Hi guys, I have a Netgear ReadyNas that has Samba v3.4.5 installed on it. I'm having trouble accessing some tdb files and I'm wondering whether the app tdbtool can be installed on its own as it seems that Netgear have pulled it out. I have windows domain users who get denied access for no reason and the events aren't being caught my the standard logs. Plus Netgear force the smb.conf

Both Samba and the OS are to be upgraded in the next couple of months but until that ahppens we have a problem that I would like some advice on.
