Since upgrading samba to version 2.0.3, we're now unable to create new
Visual
C++ files, projects and build executables in network home directories. No
other problems are reported!
When creating a new Project an error message occurs: "The specified
filename is invalid", except C++ goes ahead and creates the directory. It
does create the necessary directory, but never seems to find the correct
workspace file, and never can seem to create the required "make" file.
It
throws up a similar error message when attempting to create a source file
in personal directories but you can work around this.
Our system manager tried an earlier suggestion global configuration change:
"dos filetime resolution" which seemed to help with earlier samba
Visual
Studio problems. This seems an invalid entry in 2.0.3.
Our clients are Windows95 clients. Our server runs under Solaris.
So what to try next. Has anyone been successful in using Visual Studio to
create
C++ projects in personal directories, using samba 2.0.3?
