samba - Apr 2003 - Again problem of Samba Corrupting Excel 97 files

Hi all,


First of all, be sure answering to my mail ALSO (reply-to positionned..) 
and to samba@samba.org, since I dont receive samba ML mail.

I filled up a bug report in http://bugs.samba.org/ with number 26933.

I can send smb.conf and excel 97 corrupted file to every samba coder 
that would see this. IMHO it is really strange. Seems smbd as loggued 
samba logs *IN* the excel 97 file!!! instead of log.smbd ...

This is the 2nd time I can see this problem, I had it first round 
December 2002.

:-(((

Cheers,

Jean-Paul,

Please send me full details of how to reproduce this problem. I responded
to you late last year and did follow up with the rest of the Samba-Team
but none of us have been able to reproduce the problem.

What is your samba version? What is your OS platform? Have you spoken with
your OS platform provider about this problem?

Copying every samba-team member will not help you one bit. We need to know
how to reproduce this problem. If we can not reproduce the problem then we
have no way to identify the cause and then no way to fix it.

Please understand that we do believe that you have proof of a problem, but
how can we find the cause if we can not catch the problem as it happens?
Samba is now over 300,000 lines of code, it will not help to guess which
lines of code are the cause.

What filesystem and kernel are you using on your debian box. We have been
investigating this issue and currently suspect a filesystem or
kernel specific problem.


Thanks,
