If a user saves a file in Lotus that they don't own, the file writes and the timestamp updates, but they get this error: Directory Entry Update Error The help on this topic says: You used File Save As to save a file on disk or to extract data to a file on disk and the network software did not update the directory. Reconfigure the network so that directory updates are not deferred. If the user owns the file, they do not get this message. I am using 18p4 and the share is defined as: [acq] comment = Share for acq browsable = yes path = /home/goober/acq/share read only = no fake directory create times = True create mode = 770 locking = no I put in fake directory create times because it sounded like it might fix the problem but it didn't. Any suggestions/comments/ideas on a more apporpriate fix? Eric A.
