List: I am encountering a problem with files on my samba mounted directories accessed from Windows shares. The shares are normally accessed from a Windows 98 machine (but I've used XP, and the problem is still present). The problem: When accessing files from a samba-mounted directory through Windows, some of the files "become" directories. I can create a text file named, say, test.txt. At a later time, that text file appears as a directory, named test.txt, in Windows Explorer. Checking the file at the command line on the host system, the file has actually become a directory...any data stored within that file is gone. The problem is random, and checking the samba-related log files yields no clues.
I have samba running on two different machines: 1) Red Hat 7.3, samba version 2.2.8, and 2) HP-UX 10, samba version 2.2.3a, and the problem appears on both machines. Both machines connect to a Windows NT Server (version 4, sp6a), and are using share level security. Not sure if this is a samba-related problem, or a "feature" of Windows (but I suspect the latter). I have searched the mailing-list archives and have not found anything similar to this problem. Any clues on where to look would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED]
