similar to: Locked read/only files problem

Hi all, I am experiencing something similar to what Andreas described on march 9th. Since upgrade to samba-4.12.0, users can sometimes have errors on accessing shares. Errors can be different, most often NT_STATUS_SHARING_VIOLATION, but also "Invalid handle". Just restarting smbd fixes the issue, for a while. The server serves six shares: one or a few may be locked, the other are

I have recently upgraded from samba 2.2.6 to 2.2.7a on a Linux RedHat 8.0 server. Now I have got a problem with Win2K/XP clients. When a client saves an excel or word document on a Samba share, it is automaticaly saved in read only mode(444), and the owner becomes "root" Notes: This doesn't happen if I use the notepad. The /tmp share works. Files are not saved in read only mode.

Yes, of course. It is my smb.conf [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN printing=cups printcap name =cups cups options = Raw load printers =yes server string = DOMAIN SERVER interfaces = eth0, eth1, lo bind interfaces only = yes passdb backend = tdbsam pam password change = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*Password* %n\n

Hi all, I had been running a Samba pdc using the standard tdbsam backend on CentOS 4.5 supporting 20+ WinXPsp2 workstations and a Win2k3 Terminal Server. This set up was running fine for arroung 18 months maybe more. The above system was built on ageing hardware that used to be a Win 2k server that died from OS corruption. Due to the expanding client needs there was good reason to replace

Hello, I am having to major issues with Mac clients on our samba server. One has to do with how the Mac vs. the PC locks files and the other has to do with a very slow connection to one of our larger shares. 1.) File locking issue: I am having a strange problem occur with shared excel and word files being opened by multiple users. The problem appears to be a result of a Mac opening the file

I've searched all over the place and have tried all of the oplocking things in the "Official Samba-3 Howto and Ref. Guide", including all of the registry changes on the client. The problem is that every time we need to modify an Access Report (which requires exclusive access to the database), if the database has been PREVIOUSLY opened, will not allow us to gain exclusive access

A new problem now. Running Samba 3.5.4, on Solaris 10 with zfs. Issue with Microsoft Office 2007: User opens up a .xlsx, then closes the file (Not Excel). Then user reopens the .xlsx file and now Excel says the file is read-only. But permissions on the file have not changed! Only fix is to exit out of Excel and restart, then user can open that file just fine. The issue also looks to be tied

Hello, I upgraded from Samba 3.0.2 to 3.0.4 on my Redhat Enterprise system and am now seeing something very strange with POSIX ACL?s. We have several shared directories setup with per-directory group permissions (In other words each directory has its own group in active directory). This way if we want to give a user access to a directory we just add them to the group. After upgrading too 3.0.4

Hi everyone, We are a longtime samba/win desktop shop but are getting more Macs. Samba sernet rpms 3.3.9 on CentOS 5.4 test box (started to test 3.43 but will wait) and I confirmed a problem I have been having in production. Server is ADS member with ldap stored idmap.

running 3.4.5 on Solaris 10 sparc platform. Seeing odd behavior when I'm watching my smbd process through truss. When ever I just onen my Windows explorer window that just shows my mapped shares, the truss shows that the smbd process is trying to stat everything under /net. What is it doing that when I have no paths to /net specified in my smb.conf file? And is there anyway to stop

I have a file server running with Samba over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1. This File server store MDB and XLS files. Could anybody give me an optimal setup for my samba server (smb.conf). Actually, the performance is very poor.

Hello everybody, Hi Jorge We have found a solution to the problem I've posted earlier to this mailing list; see below for the full history. There was a function in our runtime application which would rebuild all links to external access tables each time the application was started. To keep it short, we're checking the presence of a certain value when starting (in the windows

I added these lines in my smb.conf file but nothing oplocks = no level2 oplocks = no strict locking = no fake oplocks = no veto oplock files =

Hi, today we got some mysterious errors.. a machine was hard reset and after the boot this user tried to re-open a file previously opened with full read/write access. This failed, many previously opened files were locked due to "currently n use by user xyz" problems, which were different usernames though these users -as word/excel claimed- didn't have these files open at that

I'm having the same kind of problem too. Links to other excel workbooks are really breaking badly. One of them so bad that if I highlight the file through a windows explorer view; it kills the window immediately. I'm using RH 7.2 and Samba 2.2.4 -1 Please let me know if someone has some suggestions .... So far I've tried: veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/*.ldb/*.LDB/*.xls/*.XLS

hi everybody we have been reading through the archives for quite some time now, and could not find a solution to our problem. please excuse if we overlooked something and our question was already answered elsewhere... we have Samba version 3.0.14a-Debian running on (you guessed it) debian with kernel 2.6.8-2-386. ever since our migration from samba 2.x we have speed issues with an ms

All, Running Samba 3.5.4 on Solaris 10 with ZFS file system. I have issues where we have shared group folders. In these folders a userA in GroupA create file just fine with the correct inherited permissions 660. Problem is when userB in GroupA reads and modifies that file, with M$ office apps, the permissions get whacked to 060+ and the file becomes read only by everyone. I did

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I see some strange errors on a samba-3.0.2a PDC and fileserver running under Linux. Every now and then users are not able to access some random file. Windows tells the user that the "file is already opened" or some similar error message (it's an error message in german) The files are varying, I see all kinds of filenames where

Hi I set up a samba 4.1.4 server on the latest FreeBSD RELEASE 10. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to consider the option force group. After hours ofresearch I couldn't figure out what I'm still missing. unix extensions is set to no. Setting the debug level up to 10 also didn't help ;( Is this a bug or is there simply a mistake in my setup? When *valid users = @Groupname* is
