is turned on. Can anybody
kind to confirm with me?

Our network is using a mix of Win2k server, Win2k Pro, Win98, Win95 and
WinMe machines, where the
Win2k server is the domain controller and terminal service applications
server and the Samba is a member
fileserver of the domain. All workstations logon and mount the samba file
services.

We'd like to check if the problem could be solved by setting the oplock =
false or any other tweaking is needed.


Thank you very much!
Vincent

This is a great resource for LDAP and Samba:

But it uses an older version of Samba -

I have been searching google/deja for discussion about LDAP and Samba in
general for weeks now, but can't find any good answers, just lots of people
asking the same questions.

We are planning a major (10,000+ accounts) roll out of Samba to replace a
Netware system, and LDAP would be a MAJOR help in doing this, I'm surprised
it's not more of an issue for people.

Yeah!! That's it.

I actually just installed the Solaris SkIP module instead of getting egd
to work. It was much easier to install and test. But samba is acting
correctly now.

Thanks, I owe you one!!!

Hi Vincent,
Probably the easiest way to see if oplocks is your problem is just try it;
On one of the shares that you see this problem, add the smb.conf parameter
oplocks = no
OR if you know the extension of the files that you are having this issue
with, use the smb.conf parameter
veto oplocks = /*.<extension>/

And then have multiple people try to access these files and see if the 
problem goes away.

Hope this helps,
Don
