Hello All, We state the following problem: Mounting a disk on the server and starting a MS Office95 application, either by double klicking the corresponding file or opening the file within the application, the file (*.doc, *.xls, *.ppt or *.mdb) is not opened, windows hangs and you have to reboot the PC. In some cases (powerpoint) a message like 'File or directory is write protected' appears, even if you mount the disk as root user. This problem arises with Samba version 1.9.16p7 and 1.9.17p3. No problem with Samba Version 1.9.15p6.
