Hi. I moved my samba installation to another server yesterday because the old one had a hardware issue. Since then, users can read their home directories, but get a message like 'parts of this file are already accessed by another program' when they try to save something on the share. (The actual error message is in dutch, so this is a rough translation. It's error code 33, but i cannot find an English equivalent either.) The smb.conf file is the same as the one on the old server. This is the definition of [homes]: [homes] comment = %U's Home Directory valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 I'm quite sure the users' rights on their homedir are ok, because if I su to a user I can write something in his home directory from a Linux console. It is even possible to write to the share if I make a samba connection from a Linux machine with nautilus. Only when using windows, i get the error message, and nothing is saved. I can make an empty text document though. It gets saved on the server. But when I open it and try to save it with even only one character in it, it won't work. I hope someone has any idea of what is happening here. Thanks for reading anyway. yvan vander sanden
