Hello Jerry, Jeremy,
Sorry, iam not able to send attachement to the list so let me put the
code in the mail itself.
Im Msdev, start a new project, select win32 console application. give
the project name as Tester. Then in the tester.cpp put the following
code compile and execute as mentioned in my earlier mail.
Please let me know if you require any other info.
Thanks,
Kiran

[Samba] Different behaviour of samba share in XP and Windows 2003 Server
Hello,
I have an MFC program that access a file in the samba (3.0.10) share
with the following code.
CString strSearchPath = _T(TestServer\\TestShare\\tempfile.txt);
CStdioFile fValueFile;
if( !fValueFile.Open(strSearchPath,CFile::modeReadWrite ) )
{
coutGetLastError()endl;
}
else
{
coutOpenedendl;
}
//CloseHandle( (HANDLE)fValueFile.m_hFile );
fValueFile.Close();
If i run this code on a Windows 2003 server, it leaves one HANDLE
open. but if i try this operation from a windows XP ( with SP2)
machine, every thing is fine.
Also this leak seems to happen only for a samba share. If the
strSearchPath is replaced with a Windows share, there is no leak.
Number of files opened by our application is quite large and so may
handles ( in 1000s ) are held up by the application. With the help of
procexp utility i found that the handle used was a file handle
(\\TestServer\\TestShare\ wrt to the sample code above. file name was
not shown).
Did any one face a similar problem?
Any idea whether this problem is Samba related (since this happens
only for samba shares) ?
Any help/pionter in this regard will be of great help.
With best regards,
Kiran

Could you retest against 3.0.13 and let me know if this is still
an issue ?
cheers, jerry
Hello Jerry,
I just now compiled and installed 3.0.13. But the result is the same.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks in advance for your help,

[Samba] Re: Different behaviour of samba share in XP and Windows 2003 Server
Hello Jerry, No CloseHandle() call is made in both the case. CFile (or for that reason CStdioFile) Close() method will close the OS file handle. (closehandle() in the sample code is commented given can be ignored) Just to make it a bit more clearer, the executable (for testing i just put the sample code above inside a for loop of 1000) is run from a win2k3 server and xp machine. XP shows no handle increase leak (handle count of 85), but in Win2k3 the handle count was around 1085 ( for 1000 iterations). This information i got from the windows task manager.

With a Samba file share you have to explicitly include the call to CloseHandle() where as on a 2k3 file server, the Close() method handles it all right? How do you know you're leaking handles here ? e.g. what tool are you using ? We'll probably need to look at raw network traces between the same test program run against 2k3 and Samba file servers. cheers, jerry = Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) --- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc I never saved anything for the swim back.

[Samba] Small correction in SAMBA-HowTo-Collection
Hello John, In chapter 14 File and record locking an example configuration is given for disabling the Oplocks quote You can disable oplocks on a per-share basis with the following: [acctdata] oplocks = False level2 oplocks = False un-quote Shouldnt it be No instead of False In both the cases? I have Samba 3.0.11 installed so not sure if this is corrected in 3.0.12 Thanks and best regards, Kiran -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] running two servers with one install
Hello, I think this is possible. You need to have different config files for each instance of samba . Its better to have different directories for each instance ( say /opt/samba/Inst1 and /opt/samba/Inst2 ) and have instance specifc directories like var ,lib, logs, private, shares, var/locks inside each of them. The smb.conf also need to be modified accordingly for each instance. Also the startup script should be modified to start the demons for both these instances specifying the correct config files. Hope this helps, bye, Kiran On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 16:12:46 +0100, Rainer Bendig aka Ny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi there, i want to run two samba servers on the same machine.
