<pre wrap="">Long story - short version is we now run QB Pro 2007 on a
CentOS 5 W/S
running VirtualBox and a W2K instance with network bridging in
multi-user mode so the four Windoze XP clients can access it.
Performance is not great but adequate, however I can backup
reliably and
it stays up 24x7.
Wish there was an alternative.

So exactly what is the problem about running that version on Samba? What
Samba configurations did you try if any?

QB2004 was happy to have multiple users access the QB file at the same
time in multi-user mode and thus the QB file could be hosted on Samba
with no issues.<br>
QB2007 insists that one machine become the "server" of the file for the
other users in multi user mode. (where did their software architects
learn their stuff?) Thus one needs to designate one of the five
multi-user licensed machines as a "server". In my case, I wanted to
host the QB server and of course I am running linux - hence the setup I
described above.<br>
