Problem with Word 6.0 on samba share

Wed Sep 22 11:24:39 GMT 1999

Hi all,

I have a problem opening file on a samba share with Word 6.0.
We use samba 2.0.5a running on a HP9000/800 (HP-UX 10.20).
Often when try to open file, Word stop responding for some minutes
(generally from 2 to 5) and then word succed to open it.
In the sambadir/var the corresponding log file is like this :

[1999/09/20 17:10:52, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(521)

No matter which user try to open a file, the result is always the same,
but, strangely, sometimes the users can open file with no delay.
Also no matter which share we use...

I've tried to use this parameters:

oplocks = False
fake oplocks = Yes

With this "add-on" we can access word document with no delay, but when it's
the time to save them, we can't... Word pop a window with this error on it
: "a network error or a file-access error was happened. Maybe the network
link can be broken" (Or something similar, this is a traslation from italian).

This is the smb.conf file :

	netbios name = LSW1
	server string = LSW1 Server - samba %v running on %h

Any suggestion???

Thanks in advance (and sorry for my poor english, I'm from Italy:)),
