Hi all, There was a known problem where in certain circumstances a Windows NT client would ignore an error that Samba returned with disastrous consequences. We at HP tried to get a fix from Microsoft, and ended up with a workaround. Microsoft documented this workaround in the following knowledge base article: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q290/8/61.ASP MS even admitted that "Windows NT might not catch an error message that is sent near the end of the write operation." In other words, they admitted that Windows NT was the cause of the problem, not Samba. At the same time we found that by returning an NT error code instead of an SMB error code, we could fix the problem from the Samba side. We will be submitting that patch also. Since it may be a while before that patch becomes part of a stable release we thought people would want to know about this workaround, though. -Marc Jacobsen
