Hi everybody, i use following software:
Linux version 2.4.7-10 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)) #1 Thu Sep 6 17:27:27 EDT 2001 # smbd -V Version 2.2.1a Imagine a user (user x) opened a file stored on the samba server like "blah.xls" (excel 2k) so the file is locked by the smbd. Another user wants to edit this file so we want to kick user x. Before we updated to 2.2.1a we just did: [root@x root]# smbstatus Samba version 2.2.1a Locked files: Pid DenyMode R/W Oplock Name -------------------------------------------------- 1366 DENY_WRITE RDONLY NONE /data/excel-files/blah.xls Wed May 22 10:28:18 2002 kill -9 1366 So the process was killed and the file was free to open. Since we use 2.2.1a something strange happens, we kill the pid but in "smbstatus" the pid is still in use and the file is still locked. But actually the pid IS killed, it disapears in "ps ax" and another kill -9 pid recieves an error (unkown pid). Only way to fix is to close excel manually on User x's client or shutting down the complete client. Sometimes even that dont work and we have to reboot the samba-server to free the file. Anyone know how to fix this behavoir or how to "kick" a user from a file? thanks for you comments! .jan -- Jan Fenner | Technik sino AG high end brokerage tel: +49 211 361124-30 mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
