[Samba] OSX Server - Excel files
Hi, I am new to this list, so please excuse any redundancy in my question. I have 60 Windows XP users who are tied into three Mac OSX File - Xserve file servers. There is one big problem - ... we are having issues with Excel files, that on occasion, are not being recognized, taking literally minutes to load and other quirky abnormalities. Excel on the XP desktop machines will refuse to save documents back to the file server - though Excel can still browse, load and save other Excel files. This is not happening all the time - maybe once in every five access' I posted to a Mac server mail list but had little respone. - one person suggested turning off opportunistic file locking on smb. Can somebody advise me on how to do this... from the command line if necesssary It seems that his would be a pretty draconian solution - Has anybody else seen this kind of behaviour? Any other possible causes / fixes? Any help would be appreciated.
