Hello (I'm not subscribed to this list so please Cc: me).
I have reported an issue to the Debian bug tracking system but the maintainer thought that it was better to ask upstream. So now I do that. This is the first of three issues. The description is found in: http://bugs.debian.org/178784 The relevant part from the initial mail sent there is pated here: I have got a small problem. The thing is that if one use A open a file in microsoft word without having write access to the file the file become locked. >From smbstatus: 19717 DENY_WRITE RDONLY NONE /home/pathtofile The problem is that all other users can not write to the file because it is locked. This is a problem here because some users need to be able to write the file while other just have read access. You could say that it is a bug in word but on the other hand it should really be possible to deny write whily you do not have write permission. I assume that this is a bug, i.e. no check is performed to determine if a user really can deny write to other users. Or is this a design flaw in samba? If you can give me an indication on where to look in the code I'll try to make a patch for you.
