Hi Everybody,
I was wondering if a few of you might be able to send some brainpower my way
regarding a problem I've been having.
My Samba 3 server serves OGG files to serveral Windows XP clients, all on the
same subnet. As "user_a", I've been ripping OGGs on one windows
box and saving them to /home/user_a/ on the server. I can then copy these files
from user_a's home directory to a shared directory named "common"
(all this is defined below, where I have pasted my smb.conf file in its
entirety).
User_a can play \common\*.ogg quite well via Nullsoft's Winamp, but when
user_b logs on and tries the same, Winamp will play approximately 10 sec before
crashing with an amorphous "Winamp has encountered a problem and needs to
close" message.
I suspect that this problem has something to with file permissions, but i am
stymied as to why. After all, user_a can read a *.txt file owned by user_b and
vice-versa, why shouldn't the same be true for an *.ogg file. Could it be
oplocks? I don't know, never having implemented them.
MUCH thanks in advance,
roza9K
