Re: Samba and OpenOffice - save file
Hi, A short intro about myself. I worked at HP in the team porting Samba to VMS. I was one of the main programmers in the team. I no longer work for HP or represent HP. That being said: The [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the mail address to communicate. The response is slow at the moment as a new kit is getting ready which makes most the questions redundant as many of the earlier limitations have been worked/reworked. There is a active development team involved and good progress has been made. IMHO, please consider CC'ing the technical query mails you send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the the samba-vms mailing list too (as I no longer have access to the HP mail account) On a personal note, I would love to continue work on porting Samba on VMS. I do not have access to a VMS 8.3 on IA64 (as I am no longer with HP). Is it possible for anyone interested in Samba on VMS to sponser/provide me a shell account on such a system. I need DECC compiler, CRTL and MMS with basic privilages to set a TCPIP service for NMBD and SMBD. Be able to set some system wide logicals. I would be more than happy to continue the work I did at HP more out of personal interest. I am considering trying the free AXP emulator and getting a hobbyist license and have in on my desktop, but that is rather far fetched. I am stressing on VMS 8.3 on IA64 as that was the primary focus (till I was at HP). with best regards, dhruva On 2/23/07, bradhamilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Paul Jerrom wrote: Howdy, I did try sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but no reply.

Indeed the lack of 7.3-2 support is a complete show-stopper for me as I have a series of turn-key accredited systems locked to 7.3-2. I have no IA64 systems. So it is no-go for me unless I end up doing a mixed-version cluster with the sole purpose of running Samba - and I don't even know if a 7.3-2/8.3 cluster will work, not to mention being supported! Can anyone enlighten me as to exactly which features in 8.3 are required?

RE: Samba and OpenOffice - save file
We have a working cluster of VAX running VMS 6.1, AXP running 7.2, another running 7.3 and IA64 running 8.2. Everything works well, although such is not supported. VMS 6.1 can not access ODS-5, otherwise no issues. We are using the CIFS field test software as well as SAMBA 2.2.8 and 1.9.17. CIFS works on 7.3 and 8.2. There are items missing, such as SWAT, and performance is SAMBA typical on VMS. Performance wise, 1.9.17 seems to be the fastest, but lacks SWAT and has several issues due to changes in SMB, etc. Sincerely, Robert F.

RE: Samba and OpenOffice - save file
Howdy, I did try sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but no reply. We have had several problems, including printing to a VMS queue, VAMPIREing accounts and migrating passwords from Advanced server, and other more minor issues of security and browsing. It would be useful if there was a website that listed what does and doesn't work - the above might be things that are known not to work, so it might well be wasting your and my time by reporting these. Is there a definitive list? Is there a mechanism for reporting issues? I have a large number of log files (debug level 8) - are these of use to anyone in engineering??

Hi, On 2/20/07, Albrecht Schlosser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, all, there seems to be a problem with writing an OpenOffice file more than once without closing it (open the file, modify, save, modify again, save or close the file (with saving)). There is an error message write error from OpenOffice, and the file can't be saved any more. After this error message, the file can't even be saved to another file name, neither on a Samba share, nor on a local disk. The latter problem seems to indicate that something is wrong with OpenOffice, too, but this seems to be a follow-up from the first write error. Of course, the problem does not arise, if you write the file (more than once) to a local disk, and I also tried it with another Windows share (i.e. a share on another windows system).
