Hi there, I have a samba install on centos 5 with the latest version of samba (samba-3.0.33-3.28). There were two files that just disappeared. The users description is as below:
I had worked on them – both were excel files that linked to each other. I saved it as a different name than the original I worked from (which I found to be very “buggy”) – the originals are still in their respective folders and can be opened. The next morning we opened the documents on Denby’s computer and first it wouldn’t let her save it – not even “save a copy”, I got messages the day before it disappeared saying it was locked for editing – but I was the only one who had used it and it was closed. I had to close excel and re-open then it worked. After Denby tried to edit the docs from her computer I came back to my computer to complete the work and it was no longer in the folder and when I tried to open it from excel I get the message (as per attached). I tried to do a simple search for it and it told me the shortcut has been changed or moved so it no longer works properly. In my conf, the files resided on the "laverde" share. # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = CONAME netbios name = coname server string = (%L) wins support = Yes name resolve order = wins bcast hosts passdb backend = tdbsam username map = /etc/samba/smbusers add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m %u delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r %u add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd %g delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel %g add user to group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -A %u %g delete user from group script = /usr/sbin/groupmod -R %u %g add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/false -d /var/lib/nobody %u # Note: The following specifies the default logon script. # Per user logon scripts can be specified in the user account using pdbedit logon script = %U.bat # This sets the default profile path.

These files never made it into our backups as this happened prior to the actual backup. Thank you.
