Currently - Samba supports 5, called CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, - LANMAN2 and NT1.</P -><P ->You can choose what maximum protocol to support - in the <TT -CLASS="FILENAME" ->smb.conf</TT -> file. The default is - NT1 and that is the best for the vast majority of sites.</P -><P ->In older versions of Samba you may have found it - necessary to use COREPLUS. The limitations that led to - this have mostly been fixed. It is now less likely that you - will want to use less than LANMAN1. The only remaining advantage - of COREPLUS is that for some obscure reason WfWg preserves - the case of passwords in this protocol, whereas under LANMAN1, - LANMAN2 or NT1 it uppercases all passwords before sending them, - forcing you to use the "password level=" option in some cases.</P -><P ->The main advantage of LANMAN2 and NT1 is support for - long filenames with some clients (eg: smbclient, Windows NT - or Win95). </P -><P ->See the smb.conf(5) manual page for more details.</P -><P ->Note: To support print queue reporting you may find - that you have to use TCP/IP as the default protocol under - WfWg. For some reason if you leave Netbeui as the default - it may break the print queue reporting on some systems. - It is presumably a WfWg bug.</P -></DIV -><DIV -CLASS="SECT2" -><H2 -CLASS="SECT2" -><A -NAME="AEN205">1.10.4.

Locking</H2 -><P ->One area which sometimes causes trouble is locking.</P -><P ->There are two types of locking which need to be - performed by a SMB server. The first is "record locking" - which allows a client to lock a range of bytes in a open file. - The second is the "deny modes" that are specified when a file - is open.</P -><P ->Record locking semantics under Unix is very - different from record locking under Windows. Versions - of Samba before 2.2 have tried to use the native - fcntl() unix system call to implement proper record - locking between different Samba clients. This can not - be fully correct due to several reasons. The simplest - is the fact that a Windows client is allowed to lock a - byte range up to 2^32 or 2^64, depending on the client - OS. The unix locking only supports byte ranges up to - 2^31. So it is not possible to correctly satisfy a - lock request above 2^31. There are many more - differences, too many to be listed here.</P -><P ->Samba 2.2 and above implements record locking - completely independent of the underlying unix - system. If a byte range lock that the client requests - happens to fall into the range 0-2^31, Samba hands - this request down to the Unix system. All other locks - can not be seen by unix anyway.</P -><P ->Strictly a SMB server should check for locks before - every read and write call on a file. Unfortunately with the - way fcntl() works this can be slow and may overstress the - rpc.lockd. It is also almost always unnecessary as clients - are supposed to independently make locking calls before reads - and writes anyway if locking is important to them. By default - Samba only makes locking calls when explicitly asked - to by a client, but if you set "strict locking = yes" then it will - make lock checking calls on every read and write. </P -><P ->You can also disable by range locking completely - using "locking = no". This is useful for those shares that - don't support locking or don't need it (such as cdroms). In - this case Samba fakes the return codes of locking calls to - tell clients that everything is OK.</P -><P ->The second class of locking is the "deny modes". These - are set by an application when it opens a file to determine - what types of access should be allowed simultaneously with - its open. A client may ask for DENY_NONE, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE - or DENY_ALL. There are also special compatibility modes called - DENY_FCB and DENY_DOS.</P -></DIV -><DIV -CLASS="SECT2" -><H2 -CLASS="SECT2" -><A -NAME="AEN219">1.10.6.
