Problems saving Excel sheets using Office 97 on a Sambashare
Nathan, Thanks for the tips. Most of these settings were already in place, but the ones that were not already there I set up, with the exception of the 'force group' setting. I hesitate to try this simply because many of the subfolders under the shared volume are have their access controlled by group, and I didn't want to risk preventing others from accessing their files in the middle

Excel & samba-3.0.11 slowness/hanging/lockup issues... Anyone?
Here's the problem we're encountering: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Having intermittent problems regarding users opening/accessing/saving/writing MS Excel files into samba shares. When a user accesses a file on a shared volume via samba, they can open an Excel file and end up with one of two conditions; either their system hangs after opening the file for a short pause

File locks db (manually removing locks)
After killing an smbd process, or occasionally after a process has died itself, there remains a lock as indicated in an smbstatus output. The process ID tied to the file lock in the db is no longer active, yet the db entry still exists. Is there a way to manually manipulate the file locks db? If not, will any of these entries prohibit another smbd process from handling the file which is indicated

Problems with MS Office (Excel/Word) & Samba 3.0.11, (moved to testing 3.0.12-RC1) attn Jerry
We are running with a little over 100GB of office data, and about 200GB misc other data shared to approximately 50 users using samba across two servers acting as PDC and BDC to Windows 2000 & XP Pro clients. Also using roaming profiles and ldap backend inclusive of nss_ldap and pam_ldap for the unix side - works well except for the more recent and horribly crippling MS Office bug. Tried

Re: Problems with Excel & MS Word files (EVEN - still ANY ideas?)
Hi there, I'm having exactly the same problem. If using samba-3.0.13 without ACL's, everything goes perfect. ACL's on causes the file to get marked read only. Applied the Patch for MS Excel... No results. Any ideas? If you need any info, please ask. Best Regards, Bruno Guerreiro -----Original Message----- From: Nathan Vidican [mailto:nvidican@wmptl.com] Sent: ter?a-feira, 12 de

Auto-Extracting/expanging ISO images
Perhaps a bit off-topic, but figured this might be a good question to pose to the list before I go off re-inventing the wheel again... Has anyone, or does anyone know of, a way to directly mount or utilize and iso image file as a filesystem? I'd like to use samba to create a series of shares based on ISO images; assuming one can mount an ISO image file one could in theory serve windows

Re: Problems with Excel & MS Word files (EVEN - still ANY ideas?)
Since applying the two patches you emailed me (one for cpu load, one for MS Excel issues): All is working fine now except MS Word; don't know if it's entirely related or a separate issue all together, but figured I'd post the details and see if you can think of anything; here's the behaior: Word (apparently) creates a "~384somerandomnamefile.tmp" when a user saves, the

Obtaining log level 10 for just specified user(s) (MS Word & Excel File Locking issue - still)
Is it possible to make samba produce a log at level 10 for only a specified user(s), I am trying (still) to figure out why Samba processes climb to 100% CPU and the user loses connection with MS Word & Excel files being locked. Have been dealing with this issue for quite some time now, but had to put it on the back burner for a while because we had little time to deal with it. Apprently only

Windows PDC vs BDC placement; who takes care of the bulk of domain logons?
Hey all, might be a tad bit off topic to samba, but not entirely unlrelated. Anyhow, as I understand it, the task of a BDC is to process most if not all of the domain logons before a PDC does so is it not? It has been my understanding that the BDC generally accepts and processes domain logons before the PDC does on a network to keep the load down on the PDC until such time as the BDC cannot

long filename issues
We're still getting a lot of locked smbd processes, processes climbing to 98% or more usage and becoming un-responsive and thereby locking the particular user they're attached to from accessing the file. It seems more and more so, that the longer the combined path and file name are, the more likely the end user is to get locked out. Aside from that, the issue has yet to form a pattern

Re: Problems with Excel & MS Word files (EVEN - still ANY ideas?)
Now (after applying patch from Jeremy), most of the problems with Excel and user's files being locked have quit. However, we're still getting some files locked out when a given smbd process hangs, it appears as though the process itself is tied up in some sort of loop or something and becomes un-responsive; the client tries to auto-reconnect and does so spawning a new 'duplicate'

Problems with Excel & MS Word files (still)
Problem is apparently with locking issues, disabled oplocks in the [general] section, and the problem actually got worse... Here's what happens: User-A part of group1, opens Excel file off of share, saves, exits... User-B (or even User-A for that matter) tries to re-open same file, get error stating it's locked and can only open for read-only access... Both users in the same group, and

warward smbd processes
For several months now, we've been having smbd processes which 'lock' and escalate to 99% CPU utilization effectively locking the end-user out entirely and hanging their client machines. Almost exclusively happening while the user is saving either MS Word or Excel file, and even more specifically only narrowed to a couple of users. We've tried various patches offered by

windows /bat script question
Subject isn't exactly samba, but samba people usually know a lot about windows bat scripting. Here's my problem: Currently our domain login script is doing this (among other things): ifmember.exe "WINDOWS-DOMAIN\Projects" if errorlevel 1 ( net use p: \\server1\projects ) This works fine. The problem is I'm moving the projects storage to a different server called server 2

smbd processes 99% cpu and end-user locks up
Still having a situation, in particular with Microsoft Office products (Excel, MS Word, etc), wherein a user locks up while saving a file. The scenario goes as follows: user opens up a file (excel document, word document, etc), user changes file, user hits save, user hangs... `top` reports an smbd belonging to user locked in some sort of loop causing 99% cpu utilization. net status sessions

Problems saving Excel sheets using Office 97 on a Samba share
Hey all, We're having some trouble saving Excel documents on our Samba Fileserver. We are moving people over to our Samba box, and have moved most of our documents over. Now, we have people opening their Excel documents, but are unable to save them. When something is saved, we see this message: Your changes could not be saved to 'document.xls', but were saved to a temporary document

registering samba in wins
for some strange reason, our wins servers occasionally drop samba servers out of there name space. to deal with this, I cron'ed a restart of samba at midnight everynight. This was a quick solution, but a lousy one. I would rather have some way to have samba regularly send name registration requests to wins. Is there a way to do this? barring that, is there some interface I can query on samba
