Currently we are replacing some of our W2K-servers by Samba (2.2.8 / RedHat 9.0). On one of our shares which is accessible by multiple users at the same time we put some *.dot (=Microsoft Word) macro's. However we are experiencing some annoying problems with theses *.dot-files. When a particular macro is started by a Windows-client a ~.dot file is created causing problems to other clients to load this macro. We already added "veto oplock files = /.dot" but this not solve all of our problems. The ~.dot files are NOT created when using the macro's on W2K-servers. Does anyone know a solution to this problem ? Thanks Ad Koster lidad@zeelandnet.nl
