samba - Jun 2002 - oplock break on excel files using samba 2.2.4

Hi,

I search for a solution about the "oplock break" problem that occurs
sometimes on my RH7.0 / Samba 2.2.4 machine when accessing Excel files on a
Samba share. I didn't find any solution on the Net or on this list about
this.

* Is there a solution without disabling oplock ?

* Is it a RedHat or a Samba problem ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It looks like this may have been a Samba problem interacting
with the Linux 2.4.x kernel shipped in RedHat 7.x. We have
fixed this for Samba 2.2.5, and Jerry is about to issue a
pre-release rpm you might want to test with.

Cheers,
