Hi,

I guess I should have been a little more clear in my question.  

We are running a windows network with a server appliance that runs linux.  the programs that lock it up are dbase (a dos data base program) and almail an email program both of these worked fine on when we used windows 2000 shared files.

now the windows machines crash each time more than one accesses the same program.

here is my smb.conf file ... please explain what I have done wrong

;  Revision 1.0 for the 2700RJ, jdblair at cobaltnet.com 17.oct.98

I believe there must be an error in my smb.conf file but I am not sure how which setting it is, I am new to linux and samba I have disabled file locking etc but I still recieve the same results.  Any suggestions?
