Hey all, I discovered that if I terminate my login "token" (or whatever you call it where the server has successfully authenticated your name/passwd and records this) then the locked folder becomes free after about 60 seconds. I tried this by doing a net login /d \\server\IPC$
I also noticed that after logging in, closing any open folders but NOT releasing my login session, that there are *2* records in the locks/connections.tdb file for my workstation. One of them has the IPC$ in the key, while the other is presumably just for the folder. Perhaps I can just delete this weird second entry manually to force release the folder lock that I'm not using anyway without having to logout/login everytime? :) I forgot last time: x86 RH 8.0, samba 2.2.5 compiled from regular samba source. win2k, sp3 w/s Thanks again, Jon On Sat, 2002-10-12 at 07:47, Jon Monroe wrote: > > Hey all, > > > > I'm using Samba to share *mounted* ISO images w/ windows workstations.
