Dear all: Now I use samba 2.0.7 for my file server,but I encounter some odd questions,hope to get your help. First question,if I creat one new NULL txt file in samba share folder whose filesystem is FAT,and I open the file in notepad in windows,type some characters,and save the file,but error says "refuse to access".and if the txt file has content,even if one character,there is no the problem.And the problem doesn't appear in ext2 filesystem folder. Second question,if I have changed the smb.conf,for example,I deleted one share folder for user1,but if user1 had opened the share,then he can use the share folder yet unless I kill the smbd process. and I have solve another odd problem, if I create one new folder or copy folders to the samba share,there will be one error:duplicated name.By mount -o quiet,I solved the problem. Below is my samba config. [global] netbios name = jack workgroup = workgroup server string security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins support = yes dns proxy = no deadtime = 5 Thanks Jack

It could be a filesystem issue, and Samba is just passing along the error.> Second question,if I have changed the smb.conf,for example,I > deleted one share folder for user1,but if user1 had opened the > share,then he can use the share folder yet unless I kill the smbd > process.From the manpage: Reloading the configuration file will not affect connections to any service that is already established. Either the user will have to disconnect from the service, or smbd killed and restarted.> Now I use samba 2.0.7 for my file serverSamba 2.0.7 is pretty old, you should probably consider upgrading, it might fix a few of these problems. Cheers, Adam.
