samba - Jul 2000 - File contents not saving

To Support Team,

Everytime I try to save a file from my Linux Machine, to my WINDOWS 98
Second Edition PC, the file properties overwrite the existing file's
properties, but the file contents itself doesn't seem to save.

At the moment I am running Samba 1.9.18, on a Celeron 500MHZ machine.

I've tried reinstalling Windows, changed motherboards, and tried different
hardrives.

What do you Suggest?

Should I try running a later version of Samba?

Thankyou

file properties = modification date and such?

What client are you using, smbclient or smbfs (smbmount) or what?


If smbfs then I have the following questions:
+ what kernel version?
+ what editor/program are you using when saving?
  (describe what you are doing in more detail)
+ do you get any errors in your syslog? (man dmesg)
+ does the following work:
	% echo hello > /mnt/smb/a-file
	% echo hello again > /mnt/smb/a-file
  and
	% echo hello again > /mnt/smb/b-file
	% echo hello2 > /mnt/smb/b-file
  (mnt/smb is your smbfs mountpoint)

If you are using smbclient, then yes. For smbfs it shouldn't matter.
