I know in 2.0.5a, level2 oplocks were broken. Can I safely use them in 2.0.6? I recall getting a performance increase when using them. Bill -- /------------------------------------------------------\ | | | William E. Jojo, Jr. | | | | Senior

Thank you Paul for your response. Perhaps I can give a bit more info: RS/6000 H50 w/AIX 4.3.2 running Samba 2.0.5a PIII-450 NT4sp4 w/128MB I indicated yesterday that a race condition appeared to be happening. I later remembered that I turned on level2 oplocks on two read only shares as the last tunings we did before this began to happen. I got the info from the Speed.txt document in hopes of

I have a *big* problem with Access 2000 running on a Windows 2000-SP2 PC on 2.2.3a. The error: "Visual Basic for Applications Project in This Database is Corrupt" I have a log level 10 of the 2.2.3a samba for that machine. Then, I returned to 2.2.2 and did the same thing (log level 10). No error! When I go back to 2.2.3a, I can create the problem over and over again. Who wants

When I try to join the Win2k machine to a domain, I get the following message: The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "WIN2K": The procedure number is out of range. This is a Win2k PC attempting to join to AIX 4.3.2 running samba 2.0.7. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill -- /------------------------------------------------------\

Hello, I am running SAMBA 2.0.7.0 on AIX 4.3.3.0 I have a 1 Tera Byte filesystem on AIX made available to NT and MAC. There is heavy IO activity on this filesystem and all of a sudden the NT's and MAC's can't read or write any file on this shared filesystem. Also AIX is running out of memory whenever this happens and files cannot be copied onto the said filesystem even at unix

Hi, I have serious problems to manage oplocks on Samba Share. Some clients have been installed Office 2000 SP3 + Windows XP SP1; they aren't working because Word+ Excel save files only read-only when reopen the file and I try to save. If use Wordpad or something else, It'll works fine. on the smb.conf: level2 oplocks = yes oplocks = yes veto oplock files =

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, I just installed Samba 3.0.24 on AIX. I was able to installed it and configure it to share a directory with NT users. However, I can't login to SWAT as root. I am getting 401 bad authorization error. Can anybody help? Thanks, Yun Lee

Hi, I googled around and the general wisdom seems to be that oplocks provide a performance gain if files are accessed by a single client at a time (that is, if the oplock does not break). What I can't figure out is what test can show this performance gain. I mean, theoretically, document-editing applications (Word,excel) save and load whole files and hence do not benefit from oplocks.

Hi all Have an installation that is having problems using samba 2.2.5 on AIX 5.1 When I try to use the pdbedit command I get the following What I ultimately want to do is have samba expire and force the users to change their passwords periodically. I realize that it looks like I am missing a lib here but which one and where do I get it. The company I work for is strict on

I a have a problem resulting from a neat tool I developed through the use of the "root preexec" option: This is done in the [homes] section of smb.conf. I launch a shell script with the user name (%u) and machine name (%m). The shell calls a C program to check the users quota and returns a code as the percentage of quota used. Meanwhile, all output of the C program has been captured

Dear all, I have a client who uses Samba 3.0.28 on AIX 5.3 and he is running into problems with the cpu utilization which is 100% caused by one or more smbd processes. I found out that this problem should be solved in version 3.0.37 and want to know if there is a way to get the bff-file of this version. I am not able to compile samba myself on the machine which has the problem and I am

Hi Volker Thanks for your quick answer. Now I upgraded samba to 3.0.32 but this didn't fix the problem. We have three other servers with freebsd and samba in our environment. I also compared the settings and the only difference I can find is that on this server with these problems is the acl support disabled because we had some problems with it. May this acl support have something to do

Hi, When we first installed SAMBA on our IBM AIX 5.3 server, we created 6 shares. For some reason we have discovered that to access a Samba share we always had to assign one share ahead of all others to a user for that user to gain access. ( i.e. If a user requires access to the "extracts" share, we have to assign the "reports" share first in the user login, and then assign

Hi, I used to have a win NT to serve small office networks comprised of windows clients. During the last months I have made a considerable effort to learn enough about linux in order to explore it's capabilities for that application. In the area of file & print sharing samba still looks as the best choice. I am using it in my office for some weeks now and I am quite happy with it. Yet I

We have an occasional problem which manifests with multiple processes being created for a particular user. For example, for a user "xy004": xy004 8463 0.0 0.0 6.02M 0K ??

Hi All I'm trying to intergrate samba server with ADS on AIX 6.1 TL04, for last one week, with idmap / winbind but no satisfactory results. I have gone through various links at samba.org relating to winbind, idmapper and followed http://pware.hvcc.edu/ for precompiled binaries and http://pware.hvcc.edu/AIX-Samba.pdf which is for AIX 6.1 TL03 though. I have found the samba which is provided

Help please. I am in the process of configuring Samba 3.0.14a onto 4 AIX 5.3 systems. It seems to be working OK on 3 of the 4, but on the last one, I cannot start smbd. nmbd seems to start fine. The smb.conf file matches the other servers except that the server name is changed. Here's the error showing up on the log.smbd file. [2007/05/02 15:19:47, 0] smbd/server.c:main(835) standard

Hello AIX folks, I am changing the packaging of Samba for AIX. Presently Samba is built with a truckload of static libs and bound up in a package that has no other support for the supporting infrastructure. What I'd like to do instead is make as much of the package dependant upon shared libs and to allow for completeness of the package. In other words, BDB, OpenSSL, OpenLDAP, SASL, KRB5,
