Hi,

Damn I hate upgrades. After updating at the weekend to FreeBSD 5.4-R in a fresh install our samba server just doesn't want to play ball.

I have managed to get Samba3 working ok apart from when it comes to using Excel documents. If a user has an excel document open and another user tries to open it, Excel 2003 will fail with 'Unable to open the file, it may be read-only or encrypted'

It worked perfectly before, I have driven myself mad trying to get it to work all day :(

If anyone could lend a hand it would be very much appreciated...... relevant config, details etc. below:

-------------------

FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE-p6 #1: Sun Sep  4 16:37:13 BST 2005

samba-3.0.12_1,1 from FreeBSD ports (I have tried 3.0.20 as well, no luck)

[global]
        workgroup = TRIDENT
        server string = SERV01
        security = domain
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY
        netbios name = SERV01
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        dns proxy = no
        wins support = no
        interfaces = 192.168.120.6/24
        encrypt passwords = yes
        enhanced browsing = yes

[stats]
         comment = Operations - Stats Area
         path = /u/stats
         force user = root
         guest ok = no
         writeable = yes
         valid users = user1, user2, user3, user4, user5


I have taken everything else out to try and solve this problem.

/u is mounted from another FreeBSD 5 box over NFS, I have tried all the various oplock settings as well and this didn't make any difference.

Thanks,
