[Samba] Goldmine errors.

[Bryan Evans]

We are currently running Goldmine 5.7 on a Linux (Redhat
7.1) machine running SAMBA (2.0.10).  The issues which we=20
have are the "typical" file corruption issues which seem to be=20
present with XP machines on the network, which is when we=20
began having the problems. I heard that upgrading=20
to SAMBA >2.2.4 would help the oplock issues with XP and=20
SAMBA, but before I did this, I wanted to see what the thoughts
here are, and to see if anyone has put together a "This is what you
need to do for GM / SAMBA".  Below is an excerpt from my smb.conf
file for this share...


[share]
        comment =3D N drive
        path =3D /home/share
        writeable =3D Yes
        guest ok =3D Yes
        oplocks =3D No
        read prediction =3D No

Does this look appropriate or do I need to add / change any
settings?  Also, as I said, I heard that upgrading to a newer
version of SAMBA will help, but I do not really want to risk=20
messing up file sharing completely if it is not necessary... I=20
have an rpm for 2.2.5 is that will fix the issue, otherwise, if I=20
need a newer revision, please point me to the one which I
need.

Thanks,
