[Samba] Samba + Clipper

[Gerald Drouillard]

I have be developing in Clipper for over 15 years and installing and
supporting Linux/Samba systems for a couple of years now.  I would suggest
you upgrade your samba to the latest version for starters.  Please view
http://www.Drouillard.ca/Tips&Tricks/Samba/Oplocks.htm for a very
comprehensive answer on what needs to be done for Clipper and Samba to work
beautifully together.

  Hello for all !

  We use a samba server 2.2.1a with conectiva 7 [ kernel 2.4.18] and have
the most important system of enterprise in clipper.
  In begin we have many problems with index corruption and clipper system
freezes
  Then we turned off oplocks and level2oplocks and found peace.
  But sometimes the system until freeze in one station and this freeze
others stations too.
  When clipper system is closed in the first freezed station, the others
return to normality.
  The softhouse that was developer clipper system say:

  * linux and samba is the problem
  > he don't know nothing about linux
  * network bandwidth is the problem [100 and 10 Mbit/s]
  > maybe ...
  * server is the problem [ Compaq ML330G2 : PIII 1GHz, 256, 18GB SCSI,
100Mbit/s only file server for 33 clients ]
  > I don't believe in this ...

  Our major DBF has 65MB and the major NSX has 18MB.
  I think that is big and the problem is it,  but system developer say that
isn't.

  I don't want to come back to NT4, where the clipper system too crash.

  Resume: Where I can find information about samba and clipper systems ?

  Thank you for read about my problem.
  Sorry for the grammar and others errors, but I don't know english very
well.
