I am using samba3 on centos5 and have a problem with the 'homes' share.
I
have existing Linux home directories. When I access the samba server from
the windows terminal server (via \\servername) I see 2 shares, backup and
mikeg (my username). The mikeg share takes me to my Linux home directory so
all seems well. The problem I have is that any file I try to open opens
read only. I did a test with testdoc.doc which, after some delay, opens in
Word as read-only. Files saved and then opened from the 'backup' share
work
fine. When I try to open an excel file, I get a message tha the file is
locked for editing by 'Microsoft Corporation' and I can open read-only,
notify or cancel.
Here is my conf file, the log entries from trying to open testdoc.doc and
the file permissions for my home directory and the testdoc.doc file:
