Hello all! I discover a strange thing. We use and develop DOS financial accounting application, written on Xbase (formerly known as Clipper). This application agressively uses of file sharing and locking (byte-range and all possible for DOS combinations), creates and uses huge amount of index (NTX) and Dbase III (DBF) files on network shared resource. Network clients are Windows 98se,

Hi. I start to manage small network with about twenty workstation. There is an old DELL with Novell 3 as file server and spooler for four printers.

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

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

I have a very nasty problem on a small network using a linux 2.2.5-15 and Samba 2.0.3 (RH 6.0) server and two clients Win95 and Win98.

Hey y''all, Are any folks planning on taking the ferry from Seattle to Vancouver (via Victoria)? I''ve never done it before so I have no idea how much of an adventure it is. Flights are a $100+ less to Seattle than Vancouver so the price works out the same or a bit less. My plan is to fly to Seattle (from Savannah, GA) on Tuesday to catch the early ferry on Wednesday

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

I think I reported this bug in the past. At that time, I was told that it is a bug of autoconf. ./configure does not recognize Linux on DEC Alpha 21164PC (a cheap version of Alpha EV56), so all the compilation flags were set incorrectly. I don't know the right way to fix it (I don't know how autoconf works yet ...), but the following patch fixes the problem. Thank you, Naoki Naoki

Hello! Do someone use Samba 3.0.2 in production on file server? When I tired to migrate our fileserver to 3.0 from 2.2.8a with only 200 (or 300, hmm, I don't remember ;-) ) users, with about a 40-50 users, which use old dos clipper based application, I had locking problems (someone can say that this was not locking problem, but I think so). Now I want to try migration to 3.0.2. But, may be

SuSE 7.2, Samba 2.2.6 User plaform WIN98se Was wondering if someone could point me to information regarding oplocks (I read the man on smb.conf regarding that and level2 oplocks)...

Hi, I have Mandriva 2006 x86_64.
