similar to: Samba + MS Access

hi everybody we have been reading through the archives for quite some time now, and could not find a solution to our problem. please excuse if we overlooked something and our question was already answered elsewhere... we have Samba version 3.0.14a-Debian running on (you guessed it) debian with kernel 2.6.8-2-386. ever since our migration from samba 2.x we have speed issues with an ms

I would like to pose the following problem to this mailing list to see if any of you have any suggestions you may offer. I am running samba on a RedHat 7.2 Athalon box with software RAID 0 dual IDE disks on an ext3 filesystem. I have several users in a large community of users that are always hitting the samba server. The machine has been consistently reliable with one exception. There is

I have a file server running with Samba over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1. This File server store MDB and XLS files. Could anybody give me an optimal setup for my samba server (smb.conf). Actually, the performance is very poor. [global] workgroup = REVLON netbios name = FILE_SRV security = user encrypt passwords = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u unix password sync = yes socket options =

I have an intermittent problem with dangling MS Access DB lock files. In a productive environment with N batch queus (each on a separate Windows XP Professional) a scheduler PC dispatches the work load to a free queue by means of modifying a simple MS Access DB file called "PRIM.mdb", which resides on a Samba 3.0.20 share. Each free queue PC polls the same MS Access DB file every 60

Hi, We have been having a few problems with a M$ Access DB held on a Samba server Samba version: samba-2.2.4-2N1 We have rebuilt a new server, and transferred the database over to the new box, along with word/excel docs etc. Everything is working fine, except the access database, which is running very very slowly (can be over a minute to open a record). Details are a little sketchy, but it

Hi, now I'm confused. I told about the locking problem with Samba and MS Access .mdb files. When I use Samba 2.0.7-49 with SuSE Linux 7.0 and kernel 2.2.16 I have to set the option "fake oplocks=yes" on the share to get access to the .mdb files. Using Samba 2.0.7-105 on SuSE Linux 7.1 with kernel 2.4.0 it works without the fake oplocks option. I'm using the same smb.conf on both

Hello, something strange happens sometimes with a MS access Database when trying to open it on a samba share. The database is destroyed and I think the problem is Samba cause in the database file you can find some log entries from samba. I got some tips from a german ng but I think it is better to publish it here cause might be a bug in samba 2.2.1a. I use samba 2.2.1a on Suse 7.3 and MS Office

Ok, I've tried all the "common" fixes, such as turning oplocks off on the share. Twice a day the database has to be repaired. running samba-3.0.7-2.FC2 Here's the pertinent section: comment = Aeries path = /home/aeries valid users = @aeries read only = No create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 inherit permissions = Yes

Hi All. Greetings from South Africa. I have a Samba LDAP server (v 3.022) running on Ubuntu 6.10 Its serving about 200 users, with profiles, and domain logons. I want to start server MS Access Databases on it, with the best speed performance as possible. At the moment, the back ends for these databases, are about 200+ MB, and will grow over the next few years. Basically, the share should

hello there. I posted a message like this last week. I still got no answer though. Am I alone in this samba community? Anyways, I have samba working on my openlinux 2.3. I had it up and running (smbd /nmbd). I successfully mapped the shared resource from a win95 box. I started my vb program that gets data from an MS Access mdb file. The program did went on adding new records, deleting and

I'm trying to use Access 2002 on a Samba server.....question, are there special Samba parameters that need to be set so that 3-5 users can enter data? All users have proper access (no pun intended) to the SAMBA server..... thanks jr

I'm having the same kind of problem too. Links to other excel workbooks are really breaking badly. One of them so bad that if I highlight the file through a windows explorer view; it kills the window immediately. I'm using RH 7.2 and Samba 2.2.4 -1 Please let me know if someone has some suggestions .... So far I've tried: veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.ldb/*.LDB/*.xls/*.XLS

At an account running 3.0.14a Debian (same account as the dual log file issue posted earlier). A user sporadically cannot update an Access mdb file and gets access denied errors.

Guys, I am getting lock error box in Officer 2007 and windows 7. It shows the somebody is using this file, but I am sure that is not. That problem always happens when open 2 files in the same folder. Take a look my lock configuration: kernel oplocks = No kernel oplocks = False locking = Yes oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No oplocks = False

This is really strange. The samba server in question is a domain member server on a Windows NT 4.0 Domain network. It runs Gentoo 2004.3 with a 2.4.24 kernel. The Gentoo server was upgraded from Samba 3.0.5 to 3.0.8 last night. After the upgrade, the server had to be re-joined to the domain. After that, everything appeared to be working. This morning we found that the MSAccess database files

I have a single Linux server running Slackware 10.0 and Samba Version 3.0.10. I have one share that has several MS Access tables on it. One user can operate very well, however when a second user tries to access the same database tables, the mdb files locked. It's usually a permission denied, or a "can't lock" type of error.
