Hi Everyone! Thanks to everyone that gave me advice on my last problem, 
which thankfully has be resolved and through good practice shall never 
happen again! I have another problem that has me on the ropes, this time to 
do with SAMBA.

  I have set up SAMBA 2.0.7 using the RED HAT 6.2 Optimizing and Securing 
PDF.  I also followed the Application Serving text file in the SAMBA 
docs.  The network which I administrate contains WIN95 (with all patches 
and service packs) and WIN98 SE. My problem is that I can only get about 4 
to 6 people to log on before Windows displays the message that access to 
the domain controller is denied. On issusing of the SMBSTATUS command on 
the server, it displays the following message: Can't Create Or Use IPC 
Area.  Error Was File Exists.  ERROR: Failed to Initialise Share 
Modes.  Cant Initialise Shared Memory - Exiting.  Checking the logs, 
log.smb states: locking/locking/shmem_sysv.c Cant Create or Use IPC 
Area.  Error was file exists.  In the smb.conf, the [global] section 
states: share modes = no ; while the application sections have: locking = no.

Has anybody come across this before? I would love to hear from any 
suggestions that might solve this!


Thanks,

Cillian
