My apologies if this has been brought up before. I've searched the archives of the mailing list and haven't seen a reference to this problem. I'm using 2.2.2-12 on Debian to smbmount a Windows XP share. It behaves kind of funky though. I can lis thte files. I can sometimes create files. I can sometimes edit files. But sometimes it will say "Permission denied". The really weire thing is that it seems like every other time I try to edit file it happens. So I open vi, I make changes, I get "Permission denied". I close vi. I open it again on the same file, make the same changes, save and quit, and it works. Then the next time I open the file with vi, it will give me "Permission denied". (Note, if I make changes, save, make more changes, save it will save fine. It's only closing vi and starting it that switches whether or not it works). Do I need to go to 2.2.3? Has anyone else seen this problem? Thanks J

Sounds like smbfs fails to close the file between runs. 2.2.17 or so had a bug that it tried to open O_RDONLY as readonly ...> Do I need to go to 2.2.3? Has anyone else seen this problem?The samba version is most likely irrelevant. /Urban
