similar to: Read-only alert for MS Office files on samba share

Hi everybody, We've been running a samba server for some time, which is used both as PDC and share space. Recently, we bought some new machines which came with Windows 7 installed. I struggled to find a solution to make them join the domain, and discovered I had to upgrade samba for that, which I did. We are now running version 3.4.9-42 on CentOS5. Since this upgrade, we have problems with

Excuse me if this has already been addressed but this is quite a busy list and I didn't readily see it previously discussed. We have users moving to Office 2007 and when they save files to our Samba network shares they are getting "access denied: contact your administrator" and the file becomes read-only on the share. The status on the file server using smbstatus shows

Hello, I'm hoping that somebody out there can help with this strange problem... First off I'm running Kernel 2.6.9, Samba 3.0.9 on Debian Linux, with WinXP clients. Users working out of their home directories are creating and saving Excel documents and when they later attempt to edit and save the document they've created it results in this message from Excel 2000: "Document

Dear Samba people, I'm pretty stumped troubleshooting this odd behavior by Microsoft Office 2003/2007 where if I allow the machine to upgrade from Internet Explorer 6 to 7, Office breaks. Users usually get either "Word could not create the work file. Check the temp environment variable" or simply not able to save. The same machine with IE7 works fine for local users, or when

Background: Red Alert / Red Alert II / C&C / Tiberium Sun uses IPX for LAN play. According to AppDB, this works, at least for Red Alert II (Orginal RA is not on the first page of Google results...), but it requires Wine to be run as root. Since I do not have IPX installed and I'm not normally in a mood to recompile my kernel, and the Windows users that I want to play against do want to

The owner of a folder (userid gdunn01) is unable to make any changes to it (rename / delete) through Samba despite being listed as having read/write perms. I'm using winbind for username mapping.

Hello, I can't get setup.exe to install Microsoft Office Project 2007 on Xubuntu Jaunty 9.04 using Wine 1.0.1. At first the installation box will open, and I may see a hint of the colorful Office 2007 logo; but then a small box opens and says "Setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available. Run Setup again from the original source disc or download

Hi all, There are many posts on many lists about this issue but no definitive answers. For me the issue came up with a new server running CentOS 5 + samba 3.0.35c + openldap. The recent postings I've seen always seem to have either RHEL 5 or CentOS 5 in common with the provided 2.6.18 kernel. The issue is .doc or .xls files saving and then producing an error about not being able to

Hello, I have installed C&C: Red Alert 2 in Ubuntu. Now I want to play in a network. I have already put the wsock32.dll [1] into the game directory and have set up an overwrite rule for wsock32 in winecfg. It should replace the IPX protocol with UDP protocol. Now there is a network card shown in the settings [2] and the network menu opens ingame now. I have set up Red Alert 2 on different

Latest version of samba running on freebsd. I setup a share and created a user to access the share. I can connect but have no write access. smbstatus shows RDONLY under the RW column This is a sample of my smb4.conf [global] server string = domain log file = /var/log/samba4 max log size = 100 security = user encrypt passwords = yes [share] comment = Share path = /share writeable = yes

Samba version: Samba 3.0 rebuild from SRPM on RedHat 8.0 w/XFS. I ran into this problem (which sounds a lot like Bugzilla Bug 51) when copying files from a CD-ROM to a Samba share on a W2K client. Double-clicking on the file name in an Explorer window gives the file not found error, but File->Open from Excel, and double-clicking the the filename in the file-open dialog-box works fine. The

Hi ML, I got this problem on my linux box SMB3 PDC with ACLs(xfs filesystem) Samba 3.0.20 look: I encounter a problem with ONLY msword 97-2000 files ( yes, I hate this product, but for now I have not the choice of changing it in my case!): creating a new word file test.doc is ok --> user have good permissions : rwx modifing and saving this document result in changing permissions to my

Hi , I am new to this puppet. I am implementing a network where my cisco switch will contact the puppet server for getting the configuration. I tried installing open source puppet and was successful in pushing down the configurations. I wanted then to try the same exercise with puppet enterprise 3.1. I installed puppet enterprise in a different server and changed my puppet agent (switch) to

I've been running the same configuration for a couple of years now, and since I've upgraded to Office 2007, MS Word and MS Excel files save to my samba shares as -r-------- even when they are opened as being chmod 777. Files I create/edit using other editors or windows explorer are put onto the share with the correct permissions. My conf looks like this: [global] workgroup = WG

Hi all, I'm trying to write up some recommendations for what graphics formats are most useful for inclusion into ms office and openoffice. There have been a few discussions on the list in the past, but I haven't seen a summary. These are the options I've seen so far, along with there costs and benefits: * high-resolution (600-dpi) png output (or tiff or jpg or other raster

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
