similar to: MS Office files on NT client

No one replied to me ..... But, in case anyone like me searches archives in vain for this problem, the answer is turn off oplocks on the share that the NT client wishes to save Office files to. Don't really understand why this resolves the snag and I guess the performance will take a theoretical hit. But with 20 client machines on a 100Meg LAN this is not really a problem.

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.

I have a client with an older server that is running into a weird file locking problem. The server is running FC2, samba 3.0.7 and kernel 2.6.10. They have recently installed AutoDesk Revit, which is apparently some sort of collaborative design software. Revit keeps a central repository and then allows different clients to access it. What is happening is that only the person who created the

I'm trying ot get Windows 2K off line folders to work but it fails when writing a file back to the Samba share reporting that access is denied on the share. But I can copy and replace the file manually without a proplem. Running Samba 2.2.7-security-rollup-fix on Redhat 8 (upto date) Samba Logfile for Machine account is below. Any ideas?

Hi I have a samba server with tdbsam passwords, and a share, PROJECTS, which is accessed by various XP home clients, the usenames and passwords being manually synced to the samba ones (less than 10 users, and only 4 workstations). There is one win2K machine, which is a domain member. Subdirectories on PROJECTS have g+s set, so only users, who are members of specific Linux groups, have access to

as i can see from the log files it is reading 60 bytes from the extended attributes but not from any other than DosStream.AFP_AfpInfo. All of the .com.apple.* attributes, especially DosStream.com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags are missing when listing the directory. And again - it tries to access a dotbar file which cannot exist with these settings. BTW, accessing kMDItemFinderComment works

We have a client machine (Windows 2000) that runs an application which spawns separate processes with each authenticate separately to the SAMBA server (3.0.13) When several of these processes run at the same time, SOME of the authentications fail with NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD written to the log.smbd file (error level 2)...I've attached a snippet of the log file to the end of this message All

Issue: Three WinXP Pro boxes using Offline Files disconnect from all Samba shares when a user either performs a synch or accesses a file on the share with offline files enabled. About half the time, being able to reconnect for any length of time requires a reboot of the WinXP machines. Disabling the Offline Files in Windows alleviates the problem. Background and Network

Hi list, After upgrade my FreeBSD samba server from 3.0.5 to 3.0.6, my cifs client on my linux box stop. My linux kernel is 2.6.8.1 and samba* rpms is 3.0.6.

I read a message from the archives that describes nearly our exact problem that has begun to appear after 11i was installed on our server. File access has become slow and unreliable, especially under high loads. As a matter of fact, I had a logon script running a series of echo -- it was executing them at about 1 line every 2 seconds. The way we "solved" the problem was moving the Samba

Hi all, I've included copies of the relavent files below. I'm having a bit of a problem with Samba in that when I try to access files on its shared resources, I can browse to the shares fine, but the moment I try to open a file, the client's file browser hangs. I've verified that this is a problem on both my Mac (OS X 10.3.4), my Windows XP SP2 and WIndows XP SP1 machines. I'm
