ClearCase/SAMBA- help required

[Javid Abdul-AJAVID1]

Thanks for replying quickly



Users are having reading files from samba. ( w2k clients, vobs on unix solaris servers )

*********************************
This is Rational Technical support suggestions with the issue. 
Problem Files with apparently correct permissions cannot be accessed in an IBM Rational ClearCase VOB in an interoperation environment using Samba. The error message is:

view_server.exe(156): Error: Unable to construct cleartext for object "0x444" in VOB "myhost:/vobs/myvob.vbs": error detected by ClearCase subsystem

view_server.exe(156): Error: Type manager "text_file_delta" failed construct_version operation. Cause Samba's MAX_OPEN_FILES parameter may be set too low. Solution Use Samba's SWAT administration tool to reset the MAX_OPEN_FILES parameter to a higher value. This parameter can be accessed with the Globals > Advanced View. Check if this resolves the problem. 
***************************************


But max_open_files is set 10,000k , is true that's you can change it on fly (witnout recompiling ))


Thanks
Abdul

Strange.  I can confirm that 2.2.8a supports windows
clearcase clients well (as far as I know).  We (not me though) use it in our group at HP.

What exactly is the problem again ?  I read the links but if you could summarize that would help.
