Hi all! I am using Debian Sarge with Samba version 3.0.14a-Debian and experience a locking problem: the program is a linux port of a Clipper program compiled with xHarbour (www.xharbour.org). It uses byte-range-locking to lock a record of a dbf database. If I mount the server directory over an smbmount and start 2 clients on the server accessing the server directory over the smbmount, the

Hi everybody! We've a legacy application based on Clipper, very important for the company. And we want to share the database and program files through a samba server with Gentoo Linux. But, when the users mapping the resource with a Windows 98, 2K or XP client, the application run VERY VERY slow. This application has been shared with Windows 98, 2K or XP and run too much faster than Samba.

The program starts ok, and get a print manager screen, but linux reports a file creation error. Pagescript is trying to create a spool file but can't. I already gave the directory full read/write permissions. Not sure if this is a wine error, dosbox, or pagescript problem. Pagescript

Hi everyone, Here is the problem: I have a server running Red Hat 5.2 and Samba-2.0.4 as file server for about 20 diskless machines with MSClient boot disks (created with NT server SP3). The server shares a dir with a Clipper/DBF database for those clients and the EXE file is in a NT machine. For weeks I've been trying to put the things together but the clients always break

Hello all, I have a samba 2.2.1a server running as the PDC of my network on a Mandrake 8.0 system with a reiserFS partition.

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

Hi, I am using a small network of, say, 10 W2K workstations on which I run a database application using shared table and index files on a Samba 2.2.2 server (Suse Linux 7.2). The application was just ported from Clipper to XBase++. The Clipper compiled app (it's a 16-bit DOS application) runs fine. The 32-bit XBase++ app produces corrupt index files and behaves eratically after several

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

Hi, I'm having some trouble with locking between GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows. I wrote some Clipper code that run's on GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows (compiled to different binaries ofcourse) that tries to lock a file on a Samba share. Between Microsoft Windows clients there is no problem. The locking works as expected. If one client does an EXCLUSIVE lock, the other's can't
