Hi there,
I'm having exactly the same problem.
If using samba-3.0.13 without ACL's, everything goes perfect.
ACL's on causes the file to get marked read only.
Applied the Patch for MS Excel... No results.
Any ideas?
If you need any info, please ask.
Best Regards,
Bruno Guerreiro

Since applying the two patches you emailed me (one for cpu load, one for MS
Excel issues):
All is working fine now except MS Word; don't know if it's entirely related
or a separate issue all together, but figured I'd post the details and see
if you can think of anything; here's the behaior:
Word (apparently) creates a ~384somerandomnamefile.tmp when a user saves,
the actual file they opened goes to 0 bytes, their smbd process goes to 100%
CPU load, MS Word locks up. We forcefully kill their smbd process, rename
the ~whatever.tmp file to their original whatever.doc file, restart their PC
(else word acts up stupid), and we're good to go... Until the next time it
happens.
Apparently random files, and varyinf users/network segments as before.
Excel, powerpoint, etc not locking up nor causing similar issues at all
anyore - just MS Word. I think it might have something to do with the
autosave feature, or some sort of option in word making it create/deal with
the tmp files but I really don't understand or know the bahavior well enough
to fix it entirely on my own. Help?

It's the last change :

That is the really important one anyway - if this fails try patching that

Can you try this patch against 3.0.13 please ? It may be the problem you're
seeing.

RE: [Samba] Re: Problems with Excel MS Word files (EVEN - still ANY ideas?)
Still experiencing two issues here; we get smbd processes that seem hung-out and climb to 99% CPU utilization... While there, the end-user's PC seems to spawn a new smbd process and cannot access the MS Office file (sometimes excel, sometimes word - even powerpoint this morning), stating it's locked for read only access. We manually do a kill, then a forced kill of the smbd process in question, and the office app actually then immediately crashes loosing any other documents open. So the second issue, is the locking up of end users' files. I increased the log level for users to 2, and am attaching a snippet of a users logfile; from what I can tell it appears to continually open the same file back and forth, when in fact the end user (this case me doing test) has only once opened the file, and not saved nor closed the file. Please see copy/paste below for logfile. From what I can tell it's almost as though the workstation is continually losing connection or something, but seems to be happening in two completely different shares, network segments, subnets, servers, and users - no real pattern and it's not specific to any one thing except samba that we can isolate. The network is a fully switched 100mbit network with gigabit ethernet on the main switch including gigabit interfaces from the servers. All end users are connected via segments (usually one or two 24 port 10/100 un managed switches) which tie into the main 10/100/1000mbit switch via 100mbit fiber-optic transceivers. The user/machine log snippet attached is from a segment which has two 24 port switches attached to fiber transceiver coming back to the server room, having the other end (transceiver) attached to the gigabit switch the server in question is plugged into. This same segment has approx 40 users attached to it, and at seemingly random we have three to four with this problem from different physical areas.
