[Samba] Problems with Samba 2.2.x under FreeBSD with Win2k Clients
Hi, Has anyone had the following problem. Under Win2000 I copy a file from Windows Explorer to a share running samba 2.2.x. The file does not yet exist on the share however windows pops up a warning that the file already exists and it asks me to replace it. The thing is, the file has a size of 0 bytes. If I click "no" to not replace I end up with an empty file, otherwise it copies ok. Another problem I'm having occurs occasionally under WinNT 4 (we have service pack 6a installed for the record). It also happens every time under Win2000. The problem is that under many of the MS applications if you try to save a file directly to a share or edit one and save it, your system will hang there. Beneath the scenes there are about 5000+ temorary files created on the share where you saved the file. This only happens to a samba share. I'm guessing it's related to bugs in MS products and a bug or configuration issue (that I've found nothing about) in samba or at least the FreeBSD port. Maybe it's related to the previous issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? The weird thing is I've made it happen on 2 systems but I haven't experienced this on a one other system with the same setup. I can send a detailed log if required (it's a bit large to post here at the moment.
