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)... I needed to set oplocks = no and level2 oplocks = no in order for them to be able to open pagemaker files from the samba server...otherwise it would say 'can not open file' I am just trying to get a grip on

Hello, We are running some legacy software that instructs us to, via Windows registry settings, disable all oplocks and SMB2 entirely on each Windows workstation that connects to the Samba share where the software is hosted. The software maintainers give dire warners of corruption, etc., if oplocks (and SMB2) are left enabled. We?ve run this software off of a Samba share for 20 years and have

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 =

Dear all, We have samba-3.0.11 on freebsd 5.4 as file/print server it works perfect, but if two users open the same file together the second still can write to the file it cannot be allowed in you situation. But the other server with freebsd 4.11 doesn't have this problem perfectly do write lock on open file, so may be it's freebsd 5.x problem? I can't find what's wrong,

I'm using samba version 2.2.1a on a linux RH7.2 kernel 2.4.7-10. I'm having a lot of oplock problems, specially when using office applications like word. I would like to know: 1. what is the recommended configuration in version 2.2.1a (oplocks = yes/no , level2 oplocks = yes/no , kernel oplocks = yes/no) 2. what is considered to be a stable version for oplocks usage Thanks, Nir

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

I have a small business client with a new samba file server. It's CentOS 4.2 and Samba samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2. When they save open Excel files from Windows, they are prompted to overwrite the existing file. I mean, when they click the little disk icon or use Ctrl-S or File--Save. Excel would normally just write over the file, not check with an "are you sure?" prompt. But that's

I would like to know if like the [homes] section mapped to a single user at login time (H: drive) would have any of the problems discussed in previous emails. Specifically the oplock break issue. Since one and only one user can have this space mapped in our implementation (because of credential conflicts that windows does not allow), how could a user have a detrimental experience with oplocks?

Hi all, I'm using a Linux server (A) with samba 3.0.28 which exports a directory that contains database files (Dataflex .dat files) and that are mounted by a Linux machine (B) that runs Samba 3.0.2. Now the problem is that the files are corrupted when accessed by the machine B, even if the machine A exports the directory with oplocks = no, kernel oplocks = no and level2 oplocks = no.

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

When i try to swap files between disks on my server using samba i get errors: then windows reports "The specified network name is no longer available". Sometimes the copies are fine other times files just wont copy. Hardware checks out fine. Ive even replaced the network cable between server and switch thinking that might be causing the problem. Ive included a ethereal cap of the

hi, we using samba3.0.7 with a ldap(tls). it works fine. no problems with dns (reverse) lookups etc. all 20 xp clients can logon fast into the samba machine and access all shares. the problem since 3 weeks is, that after a while all shares freeze for 10-20 seconds in a user session and the user have to wait to continue. not all user at the time. the user get no response from explorer, the

My last install of Samba was 3.2.2 on Solaris 10 Sparc platform. Had no problems. I'm now trying to install 3.4.0 on Solaris 10 x86 platform. With 3.2.2 I would join our Windows domain as such: net join -S servername -w DOMAIN_NAME -U username All worked fine. Now with 3.4.0 I'm getting usage error trying to do the same thing. Here is my config: # ./testparm Load smb config files

Hi, I have samba-3.0.11-1 on a Red hat ES 2.1 box. I also have a Win 2003 Server Domain Controller, to which my users should autenticate. My files are all in linux machine (+ also apache, mysql etc) I have also an Access mdb that could be open by several user at same time, based on linked mysql tables.

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

Hello everybody, I have 2 questions about Samba operation: First, hostnames don't work in my "hosts allow" directive, although smb.conf(5) explicitly says "You can specify the hosts by name or IP number". If I specify a client by its name, that client is not allowed access, even though the server can do reverse DNS on the client's IP. The message I get in the
