Hi all, I have the following problem. A Linux (2.2.19) machine is running Samba 2.2.2 as a PDC. The clients are Win2K SP2. A user accesses several Excel 2000 files on a share. This sometimes results in long(ish) delays (the user reports around 10 seconds, although this could be longer) and the message from Excel that the file is in use and can only be read. After closing and re-opening the file, it works fine. The complete smbd level 2 logfile is (only first line omitted "assuming -D"): [2001/11/06 07:59:35, 0] smbd/nttrans.c:call_nt_transact_ioctl(1762) call_nt_transact_ioctl: Currently not implemented.
