We recently switched over our three hpux 11 servers to samba 2.0.7 from 2.0.6. Since then we have noticed garbled text being inserted into wordfiles that are opened on samba drives. between 1 and 10 minuites after word files are opened on the samba drives several lines of garbled ascii characters insert themselves among the text of the document. It seems to be reproducible and fairly consistent. If the files are coppied to a local drive (harddisk,zip,floppy) then oppened the problem does not appear. We are also seing some problems with opening excell files from samba drives. The first attempt to open a file brings up a "Cannot open file" dialog box - on the second try it comes up. Any suggestions? Thanks, Reed BYU Systems administrator
