[Samba] Re: URGENT!!!!! Problem: outlook.pst with samba 3.0.21c!!!!!!!!
You should give us a look at your smb.conf. AFAIK from my very own experience: 3.0.21c somehow behaves different from 3.0.20 with the same smb.conf. Maybe you have to set some values which did not have to be set before.

Problem: outlook.pst with samba 3.0.21c!!!!!!!! Hello Samba-Gurus!! Following really really important problem: Yesterday evening, we have upgraded our Solaris9-Samba-Fileserver from Samba-Version 3.0.11 to 3.0.21c. All worked fine. But today, we have following problem: Some users, which outook.pst-file is situated on the samba-fileserver in their home-share, cannot send or get mails via Outlook2000 und Outlook2003. When we try to change the path to the PST-file, we get the messages, that the file cannot be accessed. Here is a sample of the samba-log of one of the clients: [2006/03/10 07:39:03, 2] smbd/dosmode.c:unix_mode(70) unix_mode(outlook.pst) inheriting from . [2006/03/10 07:39:03, 2] smbd/dosmode.c:unix_mode(78) unix_mode(outlook.pst) inherit mode 40700 [2006/03/10 07:39:03, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(350) abm opened file outlook.pst read=Yes write=No (numopen=2) [2006/03/10 07:39:03, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(308) FRANKFURT+abm closed file outlook.pst (numopen=1) [2006/03/10 07:39:03, 2] smbd/dosmode.c:unix_mode(70) unix_mode(outlook.pst) inheriting from .

In SWAT we only get something like: outlook/outlook.pst Normally it should look like: /homes/xxx/outlook/outlook.pst Does have anybody a solution or idea?? THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!!!! THX!!!!

[Samba] Re: URGENT!!!!! Problem: outlook.pst with samba 3.0.21c!!!!!!!!
Hi Joerg, pst are a special kind of files, and its not not recommended hosting them on network shares, see technet, cause they get corupted But i know many people do it. So keep clear that the psts are not growing very large ( under 1G is ok ) stop any vfs antivir at the pst shares, play with lock parameters. i have one costumer who is hosting his pst on network shares with samba 3.0.14 and there is no bug with it. I dont have testet it with latest samba. But i am nearly sure this is not a samba problem, i recommend you install a kolab server which works nice to outlook. pst where never thought to be hosted on networks. For testing copy a working pst file to the place ( share ) where the not working one is hosted and try to open it, if this works you know the pst got corupted , there are a few tools by ms to reconstruct such files ( search technet ) but do it by copy them to a local client. In your scenario you should have daily backups of the psts anyway But i read a lot about problems with solaris samba , maybe the bug is only in solaris samba, as workaournd switch back to former samba version Best Regards J?rg Nissen schrieb:> You should give us a look at your smb.conf.
