Dear Afshin,

Thank you very much for your reply. Let me explain in detail what is the 
problem:

I have snv_122 on my laptop. From that laptop I mount a Windows 2003 share 
using:

$ mount -F smbfs //domain\;[email protected]/share ~/myshare

The directory 'myshare' is inside my home folder. My home folder is in a ZFS 
dataset that is mounted with nbmand=off (this was created by default when I 
recently installed opensolaris on the laptop).

Now, let's say that myshare is initially empty. I open i.e. gedit, type 
something, and save the file in myshare (as t.txt). This works fine. Then I 
browse myshare with nautilus, and double-click the file. Gedit opens and 
immediately presents an error:

Cannot open file /export/home/christos/myshare/t.txt. Operation not applicable.

The strange thing is that if I do not use mount_smbfs to mount the share but 
instead use Places->Connect to server, then I can perfectly edit the file with 
gedit and save it.

Similar problem with openoffice as well. I create initially a file with swriter 
and save it to myshare (as t.odt). Then I double-click the file and it opens in 
swriter. I make some changes and save. Error occurs: Cannot create backup copy.

As you understand I don't try to use the CIFS server on opensolaris, but only 
the CIFS client (with mount_smbfs). I just try to mount on opensolaris a share 
exported by Windows 2003 server and edit some files. If you still need network 
capture please let me know. I think I can do this using snoop.

Please excuse the simplicity of my explanations as I just replaced Windows on 
my laptop with opensolaris two weeks ago... I'm new to this world... My idea is 
to replace Windows with opensolaris as a desktop environment. In my company we 
mainly use AIX and Solaris as servers (running mainly Oracle instances) but 
unfortunately our file servers are Windows 2003 boxes.

Thank you once again.

Chris.
