Does the application create temporary files? Or does it try to create temporary files? Can you configure the app to use the local client hard drive for temporary files. I found that some MS Office Apps do funny things with file permissions that are more likely to show up on a Samba server (mapping NTFS to Unix permissions) than on a Windows file server (native NTFS.)
What version of Novell Netware? Were you using IPX/SPX or TCP/IP? Where you using the Netware client from Novell or the one from Microsoft? Are you using a UNC path (e.g. \\myserver\share1) or drive mappings to the network share (e.g. P: is mapped to \\myserver\share1.) -----Original Message----- From: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Petre Bandac Sent: Monday, November 22, 2010 6:56 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] samba replacing novell -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hallo I have decomissioned an old novell netware serving as fileserver for a foxpro app with a samba virtual freebsd machine under vmware esxi all works ok (time of response when browsing folders, throughput at speed tests, etc), except the following foxpro related issues which I could not solve in the last week: - - when ran from LAN, the app randomly freezes from time to time - - when ran from a remote location (connected via openvpn), the app takes a very long time to open, and when searching for records it takes more than 2-3 minutes to display the results of the query (even though other tests have shown the connectivity is ok and file transfer is as fast as the line allows) - this happens even if this workstation is the only one accesing the fileserver this behavior appeared only after switching from novell to samba the question which would summarize this situation would be "what exactly did the novell netware for the foxpro app which samba does/cannot do?"
