Running SuSE 9.2. This problem happens with both the SuSE-supplied Samba on
the DVD, as well as the SuSE update rpms to 3.0.9. We even removed all the
*.tdb files and recreated the installation from scratch, as always carefully
following the steps in S3BE. FWIW, this same config worked previously on this
and earlier systems; we did not change anything on this system (other than
applying YOU patches), and since we fire the Windows VM infrequently, we
can't correlate when this problem started with any specific YOU patches..
Basically, we use Samba on a host to make printers and shares available to
Windows running on the same host in a VMware VM. We don't want anyone else on
the LAN to see shares on this host.
The problem manifests itself in several ways:
1. MS Office applications complain a file is either locked by another user and
can be opened read-only, or that a file no longer exists.
2. Using the MS Explorer window to CTRL-C and CTRL-V a file in the same folder
generates no errors, but the copied file has a file size of 0 bytes.
3. RMB'ing in the MS Explorer window to choose Create New > Folder winds up
creating the New Folder correctly, but generating a dialog box that reads:
"Unable to create the folder "New Folder." Cannot create a file when that
file already exists."
I've run a level 10 debug and didn't see anything intuitively obvious, but I'm
not a Samba developer! :-) Here's smb.conf below. Any ideas? Things to try?
Printing works fine BTW, if that's helpful.
