Someone opens a document with MS Office (under WinXP) and has it open for e.g.

same filename he can overwrite it and save the file.


I remember a similar problem, I'm sorry I can't give you a link, but in 
my case was an MS Office fault. Have you searched the MS knowledge base?

Re: [Samba] Access Windows AD share From Linux

I am unable to allow an AD trust with the Linux client to the AD domain, 
so any solution cannot require joining the Linux host to the AD domain.


Just a shot in the dark..
The smbmount command has a krb option that you can play with:

   krb
  Use kerberos (Active Directory).

I suppose using this option means you have to obtain a Kerberos
authentication ticket first (see kinit)...

Re: [Samba] Successful migration NT4-SAMBA3 domain, anyone?

I tried to find more information on this topic. What I found made me
to think that such clean migration (when there are windows xp domain
members) is not possible, after migration all
windows xp members will have to be rejoined manually. Is it true?

I migrate an NT4 domain a few week ago without problems.
But it was a small domain and the passdb backend was tdb, not ldap.

However, following the samba howto, I found one step missing in chapter 
36, procedure 36.1: maybe your domain  SID doesn't match the NT4's one.


Before net rpc vampire, try to fetch the domain SID with net rpc 
getsid, and then vampire users.


Just my 2 cents... :-)

But when I test this share by running (on annwn, as root) smbclient,
the share connects, but will not permit a dir command. It returns
the error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.


I would put a log level = auth:3 and check in the log file what's 
happening on the samba side...

Re: [Samba] problems creating a share with SWAT

Enerything seems to work, except for creating new shares. The shares

I don't think that directory creation should be a swat job...

You may want to create a samba share to give your administrators full
access to the filesystem designed to be shared through samba, so they
can create directory by the usual right-click.

Like this:

[all]
path = /home/samba
write list = @admins
[or some other way to restrict access, including umasks]

[share1]
path = /home/samba/folder1
...

They then can create shares by swat specifying the new folder created,
prefixed by '/home/samba'.

HTH,
Davide
