samba - May 1999 - Big problem 2.0.3 and M$ Office shares

Hi at all .

I have a big problem .

I'he upgrade my Server from ( Linux 2.0.36 and Samba 1.19 ) to
Linux 2.2.7 and Samba 2.0.3 ( redhat 6.0 ).

I have used the same smb.conf but the systen do not work the same .

I have a linux directory shared by 10 users with M$ Office 97 .

With Old System ( Samba 1.19) when i open a file from one client if i
try to open from an other i have a Exxcel Message that say " this file
is in use
you can open in read only mode ".

With new system (Samba 2.0.3 ) when i open a file from a cliente , if i
try to open from other client i have a Exxxcel Message that say
"you have not read/write access to file " .

I use the same uid and guid in directory attrybute , and the only way
to view something is to disable  OPLOCKS ( oplocks = false in smb.conf )

,
then i can open a file in R/W in all Client but when i try to save the
file ,
I have a deadlock and i must close that file in all' client .

Why  ?

The configuration is standard like this :

****************************************************************************************

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN ()
# Date: 1999/05/09 13:43:02

# Global parameters
        netbios name = SERVER

I must set this
if i can read a file from 2 station
        share modes = Yes
        fake oplocks = No
        strict Locking = Yes

[IPC$]
        comment = IPC Service (File Server LINUX)
        path = /tmp
        status = No

[homes]
        comment = Home Directory
        create mask = 0700
        browseable = No

[users]
        comment = Directory Pubblica
        write ok = yes
        path = /home/samba
        valid users = @users
        write list = @users
        create mode = 0770
        force create mode = 0770
        directory mode = 0770
        force directory mode = 0770
        force group = users
        wide links = No

Commet the directory /home/root is    uid/guid    root:users    with
attribute 0770

Thank you very much , i hope someone can solve this trouble because is
very strange ,
it seams that the samba 2.0.3 do not respect ( M$ Office ) Sharer mode .

I don't know whether this is the case, but in the docs for samba 2.0.x
it is stated in CAPITALS that the default for security parameter has
changed from share to user. Read Those Fine Manuals... ;-) Probably
there are some other minor differences, including kernel oplock support.

Hope this helps
