Hello, I had the pleasure of installing a new Linux(RH8.0)/Samba(2.2.7a) server (as a PDC) at one of our locations this week. They previously were accessing a shared drive from a Win2k Pro. machine. The migration did not go very smooth. Most things have been resolved, but we have some strange issues that are still causing problems, which I was hoping someone out there would have some insight on.
1. A day or two after the server was installed, one of the 98 machines started locking up when opening files, or when left idle for a long period of time. (I know this could just be an instability of Windows 98, but being that it started just after the new server installation is peculiar). 2. A different 98 machine can't open a particular Access 97 database. It can open other Access 97 files, but on this particular one, it pretty much hangs the machine. This same Access 97 database can be opened just fine from another machine (a Win 95 machine in particular). I have veto oplocks files = /*.mbd/*.ldb/*.dbf/*.idx/*.cdx/ (I also included their upper case variants for good measure.) in the smb.conf file to avoid the oplock problems. The credibility of the new server (and Linux/Samba) and myself are not faring well in the minds of these pleasant users, so help would be very much appreciated.
