> I ran a test last night with Visual FoxPro code like this:
> 
> **************************************************
> do while not flock()   && request a file lock
> && try again
> endo
> 
> get the date and time
> insert a record into a shared table
> unlock
> 
> start over again
> ***************************************************
> 
> I ran this on seven windows pcs simultaneously.
> 
> 1. The record insertions would allow one pc to insert multiple 
> records, for example 10 in a row before another computer had a 
> chance to do an insertion.  The same test on the Novell server 
> would allow one or two records before it gave another computer a 
> chance for an insertion.
> 
> 2. After several thousand insertions I had only one pc consuming 
> the time viewable with the top command.  I killed that process 
> but the other pcs still were not doing insertions.  I killed the 
> process on a second pc and then the rest were free to insert records.
> 
> How can I make the Samba server distribute time more evenly.  I 
> suspect that allowing one pc so much record insertion time to the 
> exclusion of others created my lock up.
