Hmm, The "bug" I tried to refere to is the "smbd/conn.c: #define MAX_CONNECTIONS". If you have Citrix/Metaframe the default value (128? 256?) is way to low. This would be the max amount of "connections" from a single machine, right? Quote from "conn.c" : /* set these to define the limits of the server. NOTE These are on a per-client basis. Thus any one machine can't connect to more than MAX_CONNECTIONS services, but any number of machines may connect at one time. */ On each of our Citrix servers we can have up to 100 users all connecting to 10 shares on the samba server = 1000 connections 'services' for that one citrix server? > > - the home-share issue and problem > What is this one in particular? Well, I am not sure this is a bug. More of an issue. If you use [home-disk] path = /home/%U/ and profile path in user manager in windows mapping H: to \\server\home-disk You would get serious problems with files having the same name on two home-dirs. It would be a locking problem on the windows side. User1 opens "iloveyou.doc" on his home-dir for writing would yield a \\server\home-disk\iloveyou.doc lock. User2 opens "iloveyou.doc" on her home-dir and windows would think this was the same \\server\home-disk\iloveyou.doc and get a message the file was locked. Even though these were /home/user1/iloveyou.doc and /home/user2/iloveyou.doc. The fix is to use [homes] path = /home/%S And a user manager profile H: mapping to \\server\%username% Thus the path above would not (for windows) be: \\server\user1\iloveyou.doc and \\server\user2\iloveyou.doc In most other environments other than Citrix this would not be a problem (ie w2k workstation clients). > > All these issues, and probably more, I feel are related to > > Citrix/metaframe vs. Samba.

We have run Samba since about '97 with Citrix winframe/metaframe. It works. But there still are issues. I keep an eye on all Citrix/Metaframe posts on this mailinglist and I mean I have seen some attempts of patches for Citrix. But unfortunatly nothing that has stuck to anywhere reachable (FAQ). We have tuned the samba installation compilation, unix-settings and smb.conf so that it now works fairly well. We still have some weird "cannot save" happenings once a day or so, but nothing really critical. I must admit that we are still running 2.2.6 since from the changelog for 2.2.8 we could not find any related fixes to Citrix problems. > > And Samba4?

Yes, sounds very interesing indeed. Regards Per Kjetil Grotnes -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
