I'm running Samba 2.0.0 on Solaris 2.5 and 2.6. I've had a report that a user on a Wincenter machine (NT4 + Windows Terminal Server + Citrix Metaframe + NCD stuff) dragged a Word document from his NT fileserver onto one of my Samba servers and the result was filled with zeros. We have been able to reproduce the problem from annother account on the Wincenter machine, but cannot make it happen from an NT5 beta2 machine. I don't have a plain NT4 machine with Word handy to test. I seem to remember seeing this discussed on the list, but a search back through October turned up nothing obvious in the archives. Anybody remember the cause? Or better yet, the fix? Here's my config, in case it matters: [global] browseable = yes guest account = nobody default service = homes nis homedir = True homedir map = auto_home name resolve order = host lmhosts bcast wins workgroup = iss-tech server string = Samba Server auto services = homes lm announce = true lm interval = 60 remote announce = 130.42.151 security = domain password server = iss-tech-f encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = no wins server = 130.121.5.43 dns proxy = no username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/map [export] path = /export browseable = yes writeable = yes [homes] path = %p browseable = no writable = yes invalid users = root -- Paul L.

I posted about a problem last week and haven't seen anything. Perhaps if I re-state? The problem is that a Word document gets filled with zeros when it is dragged from an NT4 machine onto one of my Samba shares. The NT machine is running Windows Terminal Server with the Citrix and NCD stuff that allows the desktop to be displayed on an X server. My Samba servers are Suns running Solaris 2.5 or 2.6 with Samba 2.0.0. Here's the config from my earlier posting:> [global] > browseable = yes > guest account = nobody > default service = homes > nis homedir = True > homedir map = auto_home > name resolve order = host lmhosts bcast wins > workgroup = iss-tech > server string = Samba Server > auto services = homes > lm announce = true > lm interval = 60 > remote announce = 130.42.151 > security = domain > password server = iss-tech-f > encrypt passwords = yes > socket options = TCP_NODELAY > local master = no > wins server = 130.121.5.43 > dns proxy = no > username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/map > [export] > path = /export > browseable = yes > writeable = yes > [homes] > path = %p > browseable = no > writable = yes > invalid users = rootHas anybody seen this sort of symptom with Samba? It seems unlikely to be a bug in NT, since even Microsoft users can't tolerate somthing this bad. Ideas, anyone? Thanks! Paul Allen -- Paul L.
