Hello, I am experiencing problems with gcc make, as well as, the MS Visual Studio IDE not "making" projects properly. Files that should be recompiled are not and also files that were not touched at all are being compiled. Secondarily, I am wondering if locks on files are somehow not being released. I have some Windows batch scripts that are erroring when copyinf files from the samba server. The file create permissions allow for access. However, it is acting as though there is some sort of sharing violation on the files. I am running these batch file when there is no activity on the Windows and/or samba servers. I realize this is a rather strange inquiry. Are there any issues in these areas with this release of samba? If so, how can I best fix the probles? I will provide whatever is required to address the problem. Our samba server is running FreeBSD 4.6.2 on and AMD 1400 MHz Athlon processor. We are running server version 2.2.4.
