[Sanjiv Bawa]

Can you post the samba messages is /var/log/messages when this happens?

Thanks.

Subject: [Samba]DOS app won't run off a Samba drive!


Hi all,

I've got this very strange occurence....

A client has a Linux Samba Server - RedHat 7.1, Samba 2.2.1a. It is
fileserving in place of an NT Server, providing networked drives to a
network of only 3 client PC's - all Windows 98.

They currently have three networked DOS apps running off this Server, all
multi-user, all with no problems.

However, when I added another in today, I got a shock!

The first user can log into the App. When the second user tries to login in,
the Win98 client pauses for a while, then comes back with "unknown disc
error on drive Z:" (that being the mapped drive).

If I moved the Server files to a network drive housed on a Windows PC,
multiple users can log in okay! So the problem is with the Samba networked
drive.

I have bought the client's files back home, and have been reproducing the
problem here. It turns out that using Windows 2000 Pro multiple users can
run the app as required - so the problem occurs just on Windows 98.

Has anybody ever experienced this before? Can anybody help?

My SMB.CONF is included below, many many thanks for any help received!

Regards,

Greg Conway.
