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

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'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hey all, bit of an odd problem here; perhaps you can help: First off, we've got two samb a servers; one acting as a PDC, and the other a BDC, both share the same dat, (they sync data back and forth to each other using rsync for backups). Both access LDAP for users and passwords from LDAP. WINS runs only on the first server, and the static entries are in the wins database file for both

Hi All, I am facing problem when copying large files from Windows PC to FAT Partition. I observed that the vfs_set_filelen() (SMB_VFS_FTRUNCATE) call is actually creating the Zero file on the FAT Partition which is taking lot of time and the connection is getting closed. What is the merit of setting the file size before starting the copy. Anyway this will create a sparse file on unix file

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

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

Colleagues, I am using "nls" successfully (2.11.1, OS X) but I am having difficulties retrieving part of the output - residual sum of squares.

with the Samba3.0.12 release i encountered the following problem : when i try to copy a file from a samba share to the local disk then the process hangs with the windows-message "Preparing to copy" (my translation from the german message). In a WIN98-DOS-Windows the copy command hangs too, but the file is created. The copying from my WIN-XP HOME works. My previous installed version

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

I'm probably looking for suggestions on tracing problems rather than a specific fix, since I don't see any links relevant to my problem. We have a Samba PDC with an ldap backend, serving about 100 active users and another 400 relatively inactive lab machines that connect once at the beginning of the day and possibly load a file or two from a network share. We have a problem where

Hi all I have a samba pdc(master LDAP Server) with 1 BDC(slave ldap server), the version of Samba at PDC and BDC is samba 3.0.21c. At BDC , there are some shares declared. The shares are used to store Fox pro files. The client uses foxpro and opens DBF file in the share declared. and also Roaming profiles is also used at BDC. The problem is samba hangs frequently.
