[Samba] My big problem with samba. Please help me

[Tom McKellips]

It sounds like you need the betrieve program loaded. If I recall Novell could 
do some record locking without btrieve but handle it like btrieve. I run a 
DOS database on Samba at a school that was first rn on Novell and had the 
same problem when we switched to Samba inserting Btrieve took care of the 
problem (Btrieve was actaully wrote by Novell for DOS). 

This is what our batch file looks like that starts our records database

btrieve /m:64 /p:4096 /f:40 /t:student.trn /e
stu
bstop

Hope this helps 
Tom
