I use 'force user' all over the place in my smb.conf and that seems to solve quite a few problems. What I generally do is to invent a UNIX user specifically for the purpose of owning files in Samba shares and set 'force user' to that. It does mean that users can't (easily) get access to the files directly on the UNIX box (when telneting in for example), but with Access databases, this usually isn't a problem.

We are running act! databases on a samba share since the beginning of the year and we had no problem since then. As long as the database files are owned by the user who open them. Yannick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of C. Linus Hicks Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 1:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] Act! database on a Samba server Does anyone have experience with getting an Act! database working without corruption on a Samba server? I had five users in an Act! database where I was getting pretty regular corruption, even after adding oplocks = no to the share. We have since moved the database onto a Win 2000 machine, but we would rather have it back on the Samba server if we can solve the corruption problem. Any help would be appreciated.
