weird samba problem

[Martin Rusko]

Hi Pupeno,
the quickiest hack what can help you is to upgrade your samba package to 
version 2.2.2 from Mandrake updates. Look at your favourite Mandrake 
mirror, find updates for 8.1 and do an upgrade.

Version 2.2.2 has some oplock's problem fixed. Also, try to turn off oplock 
support on shares, where you are exporting any dos databases. Oplock 
failures can lead into broken data, and that is very very bad. ;-(

I know, what I'm talking about, I have the same problems as you. ;-((

   Best regards...
