Re: [Samba] Re: Problems with Excel MS Word files (still)
hi jeremy, my problem is, i made it on a production environment with over 100 workstations on our 3 campus and i have not a test environment. i can make it only during a nightshift, our user are evil, thankless and m$ fans ;))) if you need this information/log output for help and to avoid m$ here, i can check it on weekend. you need backup? :)) cheers tom On Mar 31, 2005, at 0:59 Uhr, Jeremy Allison wrote: On Thu, Mar 31, 2005 at 12:55:56AM +0200, Thomas Werner wrote: no, it doesnt work :( i tested it with: samba-3.0.11-acl (still broken, fails after some try's to save an excel file) samba-3.0.13-acl (still broken, same behavior ) samba-3.0.13-noacl (seems to work) always the same violation error thing in excel with acl's and filetimes param.

Jeremy or Nathan, Jeremy Allison wrote: Ok, I have a working theory for this. It concerns ACLs and what happens when excel wants to update the filetime on a file the user doesn't own. Normally you just set the dos filetime parameter to allow this (this causes a timestamp to be updated on a file if you can write to it - normally POSIX only allows this if you're the owner). I've realised the codepath here doesn't check ACL semantics. This is a bug we've had since we introduced ACLs a long time ago but only now seems to have been triggered. Here is a patch to the just released 3.0.13 that causes ACL entries to be properly checked when dos filetime= True has been set. Please try this on top of 3.0.13 and let me know if it fixes the issues. Has this been confirmed, as fixing it? I am rolling a 3.0.13 maintenance release and it would be nice to clear this excel ACL bug. What is the bugzilla entry for this bug, so I can follow it? Thanks a lot.

No confirmation over here, havn't had a chance to compile a new copy - rolled back to 3.0.8 for the time being it's been less buggy but still have occasional file(s) locking up. A little unclear here, do I need to add a patch to 3.0.13 before compiling, or simply add 'dos filetime = yes' to the configuration? Lastly, does it matter if I'm not using ACL's?

Most people have reported this being fixed with dos filetimes=yes and 3.0.13. There are still a few outstanding issues when people are using ACLs I'm looking into right now.

Or is it a fix that will make it into 3.0.14 anyway? (maybe I am confusing people with my question about my self-rolled samba rpm, where I included your newspost as a patch on top of 3.0.13, sorry) -- Urs Rau -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
