Hell all,
I'm using a linuxbox running samba on our local network
Everything worked fine and some days before I upgraded to v2.2
Today I've installed a windows application based in Access
The data that this app uses reside in one file named low.mdb that is stored centraly in the linux
box and all users have access to it through samba. When more than one users started working a lot
of problems came up. Every now and then Access either complained about low.mdb been locked for
exclussive usage by another user or it opened the data but in read only mode.
When the same low.mdb was moved to a PC running win98 everything worked normal.
This is the first time that I use samba to share a file that is opened in read - write mode from a
lot of users simultaneously and I assume it has something to do with locking so I searched the
samba documentation for this word and came up with a couple of relative options. These seem to be
OK when left in their default setting and that's exactly the case with my smbconf which is
extremely light (as few options as can be I hope).
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
