When opening what is supposed to be shared database files, smbstatus reports the following:
Locked files: Pid DenyMode R/W Oplock Name -------------------------------------------------- 1809 DENY_NONE RDONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /samba/data/Abacus/Abacus3d.dll Mon May 6 08:49:03 2002 1809 DENY_NONE RDONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /samba/data/Abacus/SMWCC.DLL Mon May 6 08:49:02 2002 809 DENY_ALL RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /samba/data/Abacus/LAW1NOTE.FPT Mon May 6 08:49:03 2002 1809 DENY_ALL RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /samba/data/Abacus/LAW1NOTE.DBF Mon May 6 08:49:03 2002 1809 DENY_WRITE RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /samba/common/PSLIPS/W5.DAT Mon May 6 08:07:56 2002 1809 DENY_NONE RDONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /samba/data/Abacus/Lawwin2.dll Mon May 6 08:49:03 2002 1809 DENY_ALL RDWR EXCLUSIVE+BATCH /samba/data/Abacus/LAWSYS.DBF Mon May 6 08:49:03 2002 .. The Windows ME client locks up, while Samba shows it's accessing and opening the shared files (in the mode noted). XP Home opens the files, but again only in the mode noted. I originally had oplocks/level2 oplocks disabled in the share configuration, and have added them with no difference in results. I have also re-installed the application to a different share, with the same results. The identical application is running perfectly at another location using Samba 2.0.8. Shared files are opened by all clients (Windows 95 or 98) without errors and in full shared mode. This share does not disable oplocks, and all works well. Here's the current smbstatus output of that working system: ... 1231 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAWTRANS.CDX Mon May 6 07:29:02 2002 23211 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAW9.DBF Mon May 6 08:44:49 2002 23195 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAW9.DBF Mon May 6 08:36:56 2002 1231 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAW9.DBF Mon May 6 07:29:02 2002 23211 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAWGROUP.CDX Mon May 6 08:49:05 2002 23195 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAWGROUP.CDX Mon May 6 08:36:57 2002 1231 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAWGROUP.CDX Mon May 6 07:58:07 2002 23211 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAW3NOTE.FPT Mon May 6 08:44:49 2002 23195 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAW3NOTE.FPT Mon May 6 08:36:56 2002 1231 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /samba/abacus/LAW3NOTE.FPT Mon May 6 07:29:02 2002 23211 DENY_DOS RDONLY NONE /samba/abacus/Lawwin.exe Mon May 6 08:44:49 2002 ... The client OS (their choice, not mine) is Windows ME (x1) and Windows XP Home (x2). The server is a Dell 1500SC using the Intel Ether Pro 1000 interface for the LAN and Debian 3.0 (Woody) with kernel 2.2.20. I have yet to test this using another LAN interface and kernel 2.2.17 anticipating NIC timing issues. I know of no option to use an earlier version in .deb package form (my preference). This is a Samba 2.2.3a-6 (Debian) box installed and working as a PDC with WINS support for a network of (currently) 3 clients. Shares otherwise work well. I'd appreciate your comments. Jeffrey B.
