samba - Jan 2004 - Execute .exe files from a Samba share

Hi!

I'm experimenting with SuSE Linux and Samba 2.2.5 as a PDC, so far,
everything works perfectly well, aside from that if I store an .exe file on
a network mapped drive (from the Samba server) it can't be run?

The workstation is a Windows XP Pro SP1, connecting to the Samba running as
a PDC with LDAP backend.  The machine and user logon works perfectly, but I
can't execute .exe files residing on the Samba server's shares.

What's you're smb.conf ?
Is there anything in the logs?
What are the permissions of the exe file seen from the Windows box?

Ensure you have unix execute permission on the file too.

We map from unix to NT execute permissions.
