Since upgrading to 11.3 I have noticed a number of strange problems accessing or manipulating Foxpro DOS tables. This is of course a Samba Issue.
Then of course please check http://en.openSUSE.org/Samba in particular the "Samba bug reporting and advanced debugging information" section. Some people claim that the instructions help.
I see a lot of issues with 11.3, I can't even operate an ssh login to run yast properly to get a version #.
Then you might have bigger trouble or the default firewall blocks your access. Which version have you used before? Fresh install or uggrade? Left or right hand user? ;)
What I'd like to know from the community is which version of Samba or OpenSuse is most friendly with these legacy files.
openSUSE (oS) 11.3 includes 3.5.4 which is the current stable version we provide at Samba.org too. At the openSUSE Build Service (OBS) network:samba:TESTING repository we offer 3.6.0pre1 packages as well. But your description doesn't ring any bells.
This is a typical configuration for Samba
[mbd] comment = Management by Design path = /home/mbd force create mode = 0770 force directory mode = 0770 writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = no printable = no [global] workgroup = mbd printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Never include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: security = user encrypt passwords = yes ldap suffix = dc=example,dc=com domain logons = no ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers local master = yes oplocks = yes level2 oplocks = no passdb backend = smbpasswd
tdbsam is better. Check the man page.
add machine script = preferred master = auto so_sndbuf = 14596 so_rcvbuf = 14596
Both should not be required. And I believe both are invalid too. Please check it with the help of testparm Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
