I'm trying to get Lacerte 2007 Tax Accounting software working on a
Samba v3.0.28a based server. When one user is logged in it works fine.
When two or more users are accessing the database files it slows to a
crawl.
Lacerte's tech support personnel set up an identical scenereo in their
lab. Here's what the found:

I compared the open files with one computer in Lacerte vs. two
computers in Lacerte and noticed one thing peculiar: when one computer
is using Lacerte, all files are opened with exclusive+batch oplocks
including Data1i07.dbf, however when 2 computers are running Lacerte, a
few files open without oplocks, notably data1i07.dbf. I have also
attached a copy of my smbstatus output (put into an Excel spreadsheet,
computer 1 highlighted in yellow, computer 2 in blue.) This seems to be
the same way it was working on your server.
One more thing to note - I was logged in as the same user on both
workstations - if you can try that configuration and it works, that
might clue us in to some kind of permissions issue.

I've attached both files to this message. Any help in resolving this
matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
