We have a department using a DOS based application (written in C) within an MS window. By this I mean that the application is text based, and has no mouse capabilities at all.
The application object code and its database all reside in a departmental share on our Samba instance on a Solaris box. We have about 30 people using the samba shares on this box at any time. The users have sent me an email in which they say : "We are experiencing increasing 'crashes' with app-name. I believe it is because of time-out's to the server. Appname is not very tolerant in waiting for data to be written or retrieved from the server and will crash. (being a DOS based product) " I have no more information about the crashes. I need to know : 1) What to look at when the application "crashes" 2) Are there configuration settings which I can make to boost the ability of Samba to have more open files per user and more open files in total. 3) What things I could look at on the file sharing and locking front. I suspect this is where the problem might lie. Regards Ron Daniel Below are details of our setup. Solaris Version 9.
