I just replaced one of our windows file servers with a redhat 7.3 samba
server.
I have the g (/home/advserver/g) share on the redhat box mapped to g (go
figure) on to xp pro workstations.
The map drive is being created on startup with this command. (both
workstations use same login information to the share)
net use g: //server/g /USER:advserver /PERSISTENT:YES advserver
(this is on the xp pro workstations)
The server is used primarily for adobe indesign.
If indesign crashes that workstation can no longer open any indesign
files. It gets permission errors. However it can open any other file
type on the file server.
I can reboot a billion times and I will continue to get the same error.
"You do not have correct permissions to open this or this file is
already open"
* Note that this will appear for any indesign file not just the
one that was open when the crash occurred)
To rectify I can change the net use command to this....
net use g: //server/g /USER:root /PERSISTENT:YES password (no
my root password is not password)
Open up an indesign file no problem.
disconnect the drive and reconnect with the original net use command and
everything works like a champ until the next crash.
in my attempts to troubleshoot I have set all files under g to
advserver:advserver with 777 permissions.
In case it helps there where no issues with the original file server.
I want to think its an indesign issues since its only .indd files that
have the problem.
However my workaround of logging into the share under root, logging out,
logging back in under advserver again makes me think that is a problem
with smb.conf. Any and all input is always appreciated.
relevant smb.conf
