Samba configuration is not related to HBNETIO. HBNETIO does not change locking scheme or anything like that. It redirects everything to OS. The main idea of using HBNETIO is eliminating problems with file sharing using servers like SAMBA. Just simply access file only using HBNETIO (it doesn't matter what is the client OS) or native applications executed locally and you will not have any problems with incompatible locking systems. Anyhow if you plan to also access simultaneously files using SAMBA as file server then you have to configure SAMBA to redirect all locks to OS and fully respect all OS locking. You will also have to disable any opportunistic locks in SAMBA. The redirection of SMB locks to OS lock in SAMBA was changing in the last years and many problems has been resolved. Some of them using new kernel extensions so it's also very important the system used on file server running SAMBA. I cannot answer if current state is fully functional and safe to use in concurrent file access by SMB protocol and as native files without checking current SAMBA code. I'll try to check it in some spare time. Anyhow it always needs precise configuration so the easiest solution for concurrent file access by remote stations is using HBNETIO and ignoring any file servers like SAMBA or MARS. best regards, Przemek _______________________________________________ Harbour mailing list (attachment size limit: 40KB) Harbour@harbour-project.org http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour
