Hello, First of all I would like to thank the Samba Project Group for this state of the art software. I would like to thank every body for helping each other out. Please ignore my poor English writing. It is not my native language. Although: I do the best I can. We use Samba for a while now. We started with version 4.0.6 and updated each time. Now we are at version 4.0.9 and we are planning to

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

Hi all, I sometime have a strange behavior when using MS Office and saving files. First things first: - OS CentOS 6.7 x86_64 - SAMBA version 3.6.23, configured as member server (see [1] for full configuration) - inotifywait watching my shares to replicate them off-site - about 100 W7/W8 clients with MS Office 2010 Using inotifywait, I tracked how MS Office file save function works. Basically,

I think this is a recurrence of an old bug. Running Samba 3.5.4 with CTDB on GPFS 3.4.0.6 with the vfs_gpfs module using CentOS 5.6. It is a vanilla CentOS RPM's with the vfs_gpfs module a self compiled add on. Running with NFSv4 ACL's. Basically what happens is when a user saves a file in Office 2010 (no Office 2007 to test with) with Windows 7 on the Unix side the permissions on the

I thought I had things figured out, but guess not. I have multi-user Quickbooks databases that functioned fine on a Novell server but are behaving badly on a Samba share. I have created a separate share for the Quickbook databases, users are running Win XP Pro, latest patches, and the Quickbooks application installed on the desktop. It is a multiuser version. Server is RedHat ES 3, Samba

Hi, I use a RH7.2++ samba-2.2.3a-6, kernel-2.4.9-7 PDC configured server. If I open a MS Office file (word/excel), the changes can be saved, but closing the application crashes it. I'v read about oplock problems on this list and in the net; the only solution was to update to 2.2.5 and may be to RH 7.3++. I set oplocks = no, level2 oplocks = no (GLOBAL), hoping that would help - but it

Hi, I have serious problems to manage oplocks on Samba Share. Some clients have been installed Office 2000 SP3 + Windows XP SP1; they aren't working because Word+ Excel save files only read-only when reopen the file and I try to save.

Hello everyone, Today a user (call them 'abc') came to me and described the following sequence of events: 1. They opened an Excel file, made some changes, saved it, and closed it. 2. They tried to open it again and got an error dialog within Excel that says this: File in Use FooBar.xls is locked for editing by 'abc'. Open

I really enjoy MS Office 2003 on wine (Ubuntu Intrepid). I even figured out how to export files as PDF without distortion. There is one thing though I'm not satisfied with: Double-clicking on .doc, .xls. etc.. file starts corresponding office application (Word, Excel) with blank page instead of opening the file. I entered correct path to file but does not work. Of course it?s not a huge

Hello, I am a new member of this forum. One of the reasons I registered was that I could not clarify following question: I cannot print to PDF using MS Office 2003. I am running it on Wine, I have Ubuntu Intrepid. Of course I can open the same xls or doc file in Open Office, but these files are very precise and sensitive, and OO distorts their fine architecture. I did not try frank print

Hello, something strange happens sometimes with a MS access Database when trying to open it on a samba share. The database is destroyed and I think the problem is Samba cause in the database file you can find some log entries from samba. I got some tips from a german ng but I think it is better to publish it here cause might be a bug in samba 2.2.1a. I use samba 2.2.1a on Suse 7.3 and MS Office

Hi Listmembers Problem: Windows Clients having problems with Microsoft Office App's (Excel, Word) when the files are on the Samba Share "documents" (which is mapped through a Windows Drive Letter on the client). Two clients have MS Office 2003. They can open doc Documents but when they want to save it error messages are appearing (message about to less space on drive, but this is a

I would like to know if like the [homes] section mapped to a single user at login time (H: drive) would have any of the problems discussed in previous emails. Specifically the oplock break issue. Since one and only one user can have this space mapped in our implementation (because of credential conflicts that windows does not allow), how could a user have a detrimental experience with oplocks?

I have a single Linux server running SuSE 9.1 and Samba 3.04. I have one share that has several MS Access tables on it. One user can operate just fine, however when a second+ user tries to access the same database tables, one of several things happens depending on what I have in the smb.conf file. It's usually a permission denied, or a "can't lock" type of error. When the
