samba - Dec 2003 - W2k client using "synchronize" on a samba configured RH Linux 9 file server ...

... does not work.

I use the W2k  functionality "synchronize" on my laptop to have
up2date
synchronized copies of  my files both at the laptop and the file server.
The file server is a P 200 MHz running RH Linux 9.
When on-line the synchronization of files works, except for my swedish 
letters "???". However when off-line working with my files, then 
reconnecting to the network and issuing a synchronization it fails. The 
updating of the files on the server fails.

Am I doing something wrong here or is the SMB protocol used by samba not 
up2date to support this W2k functionality?
My samba version is 3.0.0-2

Did you ever find a solution to the problem of synchronization not
working?

I'm having the same problem here, with w2k clients and
a server running redhat 9 and rh's samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0.

The file system is ext3.

 From the logfile, it looks like W2K is creating a temporary
file for the file being synchronized, and it tries to
set some permissions for this file. This fails. Snip
from the logfile:

Is there any solution to this problem that doesn't involve
changing the file system or running samba-3 (we are not
quite ready for this yet)?
