It's a M$ problem, not samba, many M$ clients don't handle oplocks properly. Win95 is especially nasty with this, but I've heard (unconfirmed) rumors that the progeny of 95 (i.e. 98, ME, XP) have inherited those problems. Best bet, turn oplocks off totally on the samba server. See the samba docs. The performance loss doesn't seem to be very noticable, unless you've got a lot of file-based databases on the server, in which case, consider setting up MySQL and putting ODBC on the clients - that works very nicely! -- Bill Moran Potential Technology technical services (412) 793-4257 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
