similar to: oplocks, QuickBooks (Samba 3)

I thought I had things figured out, but guess not. I have multi-user Quickbooks databases that functioned fine on a Novell server but are behaving badly on a Samba share. I have created a separate share for the Quickbook databases, users are running Win XP Pro, latest patches, and the Quickbooks application installed on the desktop. It is a multiuser version. Server is RedHat ES 3, Samba

Hello, I try to enable files locking with samba, but I didn't succeed in. I've red samba official howtos but I'm not sure I've understood everything. (Samba 3.0.14a as aPDC, ext3 with acls, debian) I've tried : enable privileges = yes nt acl support = yes acl compatibility = auto security = user passdb backend = tdbsam lock directory =

It is widely known that Quickbooks has a horrible storage engine, "requires" Windows to host multiuser access, etc. However, I've successfully been storing QuickBooks files on Samba shares at a handful of locations with no real issues other than slight performance degradation. However, a somewhat recent thread here mentioned the proper use of oplock'ing in the Samba configuration

I am working my way through "Samba-3 by Example". I have created all the simple samba servers with ease as I have done them in the past with trial and error... this book makes it easy now. I'm stuck. While on page 118 it says to not go further without validating. Well, The server is there and when browsing the network I can see the Samba server. When I try to connect it wants

Debian and Samba Teams: I'm having a really weird problem with Samba 3.0Beta2+RC4 on my Debian Sarge (testing) system with Quickbooks Pro 2002 multi-user version. The version of my question is: Does anybody know what the proper global, share, and permissions settings should be to support multi-user Quickbooks on a Samba share? The Long Version: The Quickbooks data-file resides on it's

Hi Folks: I am in the process of moving all of our users over to our new Samba File server which runs FC3. In order to properly secure the home folders, I need to chown them to the UID of the individual user, and chgrp them to the domain users group. I know the GID for the domain users, so no problem there. Is there a way to find a list of the UID for all the users. I know that I can do it

We have an existing samba server with many userids, using NTLM authentication (stored in OpenLDAP). We would like to add many other userids, which will authenticate against an existing MIT kerberos server. Each of our customers will have either an NTLM-based userid/password, or a kerberos-based userid/password, but never both. We would like both kinds of userids to work with the same samba

Hi, I have a question about getting linux workstation to authenticate users against a Samba PDC when they log in and mount all the necessary shares. Current setup: Linux server with Samba as the PCD Windows 2k and XP workstations are on the Samba domain and authenticate all users with the Samba PDC. Wants: Linux server with Samba as the PCD Windows 2k and XP workstations are on the Samba

I updated samba to samba-2.0.7-4 (RedHat RPM). That didn't help. I changed the file ownership to user.group from user.user. That didn't help. I changed the file permissions to -rwxrwxr-- as you had suggested, and then it worked. (QuickBooks 99 needs *both* the file permissions set as noted *and* the ownership also.) However, when everyone closes QuickBooks the QBI file is deleted, and

The second instance of Quickbooks shows a "file may be corrupt" message. 56310 DENY_NONE 0x2019f RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /MY_REALLY_LONG_PATH/My File.QBW Thu Mar 3 19:42:20 2005 56310 DENY_NONE 0x2019f RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH / MY_REALLY_LONG_PATH/My File.QBI Thu Mar 3 19:42:20 2005 It works on Windows - just copied the same file to a network mapped windows

I moved a Quickbooks Pro file to our Samba server (v 2.0.7) during an effort to centralize some stuff in our organization. Before moving the file to the samba server it was shared from a users NT Workstation. I don't consider this a viable long term solution. Anyway ... here it goes with my problem report .... :-) So I moved the Quickbooks file to the Samba server, setup an Accounting share

Hi all; the other day we tried to get ambitious and get the office onto a samba domain. Things were fine, but our quickbooks users could not use quickbooks because they were domain restricted users and needed to be domain standard users. Anyone have any help on how to get the users in question to be power users? Mike hillyer

Using Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 1.1.3 Application is Quickbooks 8.1. I have succesfully run this app in 7.04 with older wine version. I'm finding that the menu's with arrow up & down seem to crash Quickbooks and wine. Not using the arrows but when you go all the way to the top or bottom. A restart is then needed to get Quickbooks to open up again. Any ideas? As I say this worked great

On a server that has been running smoothly since it was setup, and with no changes to configurations or network or anything, users cannot save a shared QuickBooks file. they have been regularly using, updating and saving to this file for a few months. All users are able to create and update other files in the same share. I have not confirmed if they are able to create and update new QuickBooks

I did testing on generating this report from a 130 MB Quickbooks file. Locally, 15 seconds. Samba Server, 1:35. Shared off of my win98 Workstation, 2+ mins. I do not understand the reason it is SOO slow. I know it is a fairly large file. The only explanation I can come up with is the way QuickBooks is accessing the files. Maybe jumping all around the file, requiring many operations on the

I've installed quickbooks 06/07 under Ubuntu 810 using Wine 1.1.4. I've also installed IE6 using the ies4linux tool. I can start IE6, but when I start Quickbooks through wine I get this error: 'This version of QuickBooks requires Mircosoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later).
