Hi. I need to use some dosemu clients(running old database programs made in turbo pascal) that read/write paradox databases on linux samba server. However, it seems that samba and dosemu doesn't share their thoughts about file locking.
For example, when I open (read-only!) some file (let's say "L:\test.txt" that is actually "/mnt/samba/test.txt") then I can't open the same file with another dosemu. (It says "Access denied.") smbstatus shows: Pid DenyMode R/W Oplock Name 2347 DENY_NONE RDRW NONE /mnt/samba/test.txt DenyMode is DENY_NONE, so I should be able to at least open the file read_only from another client aswell, right? Dosemu version is 1.0.2 Samba version is 2.2.3a-6 The OS on Dosemu is FreeDOS (1.1.24c) And even if I can get this to work... will I be able to use bytelocking (for databases) aswell? Or in general - does anyone know how well one old TPascal program with paradox databases might work on dosemu? Any hints/helps are deeply appreciated. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
