[Samba] Re: Problems with Excel & MS Word files (EVEN - still ANY ideas?)
Hi there, I'm having exactly the same problem. If using samba-3.0.13 without ACL's, everything goes perfect. ACL's on causes the file to get marked read only. Applied the Patch for MS Excel... No results. Any ideas? If you need any info, please ask.

Since applying the two patches you emailed me (one for cpu load, one for MS Excel issues): All is working fine now except MS Word; don't know if it's entirely related or a separate issue all together, but figured I'd post the details and see if you can think of anything; here's the behaior: Word (apparently) creates a "~384somerandomnamefile.tmp" when a user saves, the actual file they opened goes to 0 bytes, their smbd process goes to 100% CPU load, MS Word locks up. We forcefully kill their smbd process, rename the ~whatever.tmp file to their original whatever.doc file, restart their PC (else word acts up stupid), and we're good to go... Until the next time it happens. Apparently random files, and varyinf users/network segments as before. Excel, powerpoint, etc not locking up nor causing similar issues at all anyore - just MS Word. I think it might have something to do with the autosave feature, or some sort of option in word making it create/deal with the tmp files but I really don't understand or know the bahavior well enough to fix it entirely on my own.

Better than cut-n-paste into the mail message :-). It's the last change : - while (SearchDir(dptr->dir_hnd, name, poffset) == True) { + if (SearchDir(dptr->dir_hnd, name, poffset)) { That is the really important one anyway - if this fails try patching that line by hand.
