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 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 am fairly new to samba and XP. I have a client who we set up a samba server for, they are complaining about documents taking about 30 secs -2-3mins to open but only sometimes (it can be very frequent). I have seen this and captured a piece of the log file I wonder if any one can make any sense of it... I have been looking on the net and trying various things all day but to no avail...

Hello! I have SAMBA4 working just great. Currently I'm already backup it up by just taking a full snapshots of the virtual machine SAMBA4 is running on. But I would like to know, which directories and/or files are actually the SAMBA4 databases? So, for example I could copy those files and paste onto another SAMBA4 and have Controller up and running. Thank you! -- View this message in

Hi Does any one has idea if Samba supports client side oplocks. i.e if we are using "smbclient" If yes how to enable/disable it. Where can we get the details. Thanks Pankaj

Hello Everyone! Perhaps some of you have some advice for dealing with this problem? I've done quite a bit of googling on this one, but I can't find anything useful. Ever since I started using Samba as PDC, I have had this problem: when users merely open MS-Excel files on samba shares, the file's Last-Modification date is incremented to the current time. I have seen similar

Hello, I have successfully installed SAMBA4 Alpha12 as PDC. I added two machines. Ubuntu 11.04 Linux and Windows 7. They both can authenticate and log in to the machines. WHich is great. The problem comes when users trying to change their password. This is not working! It's constantly complaining for the complexity. However I used strong and absolutely different to any previous password.

Hello! I need help (but who doesn's huh? :-) ) I meant to run one program - Money2000 (no, it is _not_ program from Microsoft) together with samba on linux, but i have problems with oplocks.

But when we tried

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

Hello everyone, Today a user (call them 'abc') came to me and described the following sequence of events: 1. They opened an Excel file, made some changes, saved it, and closed it. 2.

I'm running FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE with Samba 3.0.20 configured as a PDC serving a small-ish network (10 XP hosts). My problem concerns roaming profiles - some XP clients take ages to logon and logoff. On doing some Googling I identified the 'profile acls' parameter as being a likely fix. However, I seem to have got myself into one of two scenarios: a) With 'profile acls'

Hello, First of all I would like to thank the Samba Project Group for this state of the art software. I would like to thank every body for helping each other out. Please ignore my poor English writing. It is not my native language. Although: I do the best I can. We use Samba for a while now. We started with version 4.0.6 and updated each time. Now we are at version 4.0.9 and we are planning to

Hello all, I have always experienced VERY SLOW response times on opening an EXCEL sheet ever since I had started to use SAMBA WAY back. I have been hoping that a newer release would fix this one issue but it never seems to happen. Does anyone know what could be the problem? I can open the same Excel sheet on a Novell server and it opens instantly. I have no problems with WORD documents. They
