Hello everyone
I moved my samba (3.6.9-168.el6_5) setup to new hardware and since
the move a user can not write to the shared folders. When the file is
opened by the user "smbstatus" shows:
Locked files:
Pid Uid DenyMode Access R/W Oplock
SharePath Name Time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1772 2882 DENY_NONE 0x100081 RDONLY NONE
/d/OfficeDrive/u/shared Finance etc Mon Jun 23 11:59:29 2014
1772 2882 DENY_WRITE 0x2019f RDWR NONE
/d/OfficeDrive/u/shared Finance etc/POS.xlsm Mon Jun 23 11:59:56 2014
1772 2882 DENY_NONE 0x100081 RDONLY NONE
/d/OfficeDrive/u/shared . Mon Jun 23 12:00:11 2014
The user opens an excel file and gets the message that the file is read
only, and that he needs to click 'enable editing'. Editing is then
enabled but the file can not be saved back, regardless of any changes
made. The message that comes up is "The file is currently in use. Try
again later."
I've asked the user log in to another win7 machine and the problem persists.
Is there anything I could try to troubleshoot this file locking problem,
please? My google search suggested:
1. to disable SElinux, which is done
2. set deadtime parameter correctly, which I think I did, although I
couldn't see how this parameter could be helpful in my case. However it
did not help.
Could someone please help me?
Here is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = SCI
server string = Samba Server Version %v on (%L)
bind interfaces only = yes
time server = yes
deadtime=1440
# logs split per machine
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
# max 50KB per log file, then rotate
max log size = 50
timestamp logs = yes
log level = 2
security = user
passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon home = \\%L\homes
logon drive = I:
logon script = SCI2.bat
logon path = \\%L\profile\
local master = yes
prefered master = yes
os level = 34
wins support = yes
guest account = admin
admin users = samba
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browsable = no
writable = yes
path = /d/pcuser/%u
create mode = 644
guest ok = no
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /d/ntprofile/logon
browsable = no
writable = no
[profile]
path = /d/ntprofile/users/%u
create mode = 0700
directory mode = 0700
writable = yes
browsable = no
guest ok = yes
[profile.v2]
path = /d/ntprofile/users.v2/%u
create mode = 0700
directory mode = 0700
writable = yes
browsable = no
guest ok = yes
[OfficeShared]
path=/d/OfficeDrive/u/shared
browsable = no
create mode = 775
directory mode= 775
force group = ubcg49
writable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
valid users = @office_shared
As you can see only the group ubcg49 have access to the "officeshared"
folder and I can confirm that the user is member of this group.
Any help/advice is really appreciated.
Thank you
