Hello,
I ran into a lot of trouble after upgrading Samba from 2.0.10 to 2.2.3a on a
linux box running RedHat 7.1 / Kernel 2.4.17.
Local users with notebooks should be able to use files on the network
online and on the road. We are using the Windows 2000 "Make accessible
offline"-feature to achive this.
The notebooks are running Win2k SP2 SR1 or Win2k SP2.
With Samba 2.0.10 the offline usage and synchronisation worked flawless.
After upgrading to 2.2.3a we are experiencing problems if we are trying to
access the files offline. Looking into the "Offline Files Folder"
shows all files
marked available for offline usage but with two different status. Some files
are "synchronised" and some show "local copy is incomplete".
There is no
hint why there are these differences. All files have the same permissions
and can be opened while connected to the network. All files are doc, xls or
pdf - some are accessible offline, some not.
The shown rights on the files differ also (why? As said: all files have the
same permissions (0660) on the linux file system), but it seems to have
nothing to do with the accessability.
As recommended here in the list I turned off "nt acl support", but the
problems are still the same.
I'm not sure if it is a Win2k-Problem or Samba-related. But the upgrade from
2.0.10 to 2.2.3a was the only change in the system so I suspect a problem
between Win2k and Samba.
Thanks for any help
Marko
