I have a very strange problem, which no one has been able to fathom to this point so I'm hoping that someone here may have encountered something similar. I'd better note down some background details first.
Relevant machines involved: Win2K Adv. Server SP3 (acting as Active Directory primary) Win2K Pro SP3 (authenticates against Win2K server above) WinXP Pro SP1 (authenticates against Win2K server above) Redhat 7.2 running Samba 2.2.1a in 'domain' mode (password server is Win2K server) Redhat 8.0 running Samba 2.2.7 in 'domain' mode (password server is Win2K server) Here is the background of what I am trying to do. There is a CVS module for a project I develop checked out on both of the Redhat machines, which I manage using TortoiseCVS on the WinXP machine. Until this week I was running only the RH7.2 machine and had no problems at all, but this machine has got a little long in the tooth and so I built a new machine to run RH8. All the Windows machines are logged in using the same Active Directory user, and I can access the shares on both Samba servers via Win2K and XP with no problems, and have full read/write/delete permissions. However, when I run a CVS update or checkout using the WinXP machine on the RH8 box, I get lots of errors reporting that some directories that were removed from the CVS module a long time ago could not be deleted as they are not empty. Running the same update on the RH8 machine using either of the Win2K boxes goes through with no errors. Running the same CVS update on the RH7.2 machine with any of the Windows machines does not produce the error. This is what the CVS update ~should~ look like: ******************************************************************** In \\plasma\home\kier\vb2: cvs -q update -d -P CVSROOT=:pserver:{username}:{repository} ? language ? admin/spellcheck ? images/afp ? images/avatars ? images/styles/new/images Success, CVS operation completed ******************************************************************** And this is what it looks like when I run the same thing on the XP box with the Samba 2.2.7 machine: ******************************************************************** In \\plasma\home\kier\vb2: cvs -q update -d -P CVSROOT=:pserver:{username}:{repository} ? language ? admin/spellcheck ? images/afp ? images/avatars ? images/styles/new/images cvs update: cannot remove language: Directory not empty cvs update: cannot remove images/styles/new/images: Directory not empty cvs update: cannot remove images/avatars: Directory not empty cvs update: cannot remove images/afp: Directory not empty cvs update: cannot remove admin/spellcheck: Directory not empty Success, CVS operation completed ******************************************************************** Here is a summary of the results from running the update from different machines: Win2K with RH 7.2 / Samba 2.2.1a NO ERRORS WinXP with RH 7.2 / Samba 2.2.1a NO ERRORS Win2K with RH 8.0 / Samba 2.2.7 NO ERRORS WinXP with RH 8.0 / Samba 2.2.7 ERRORS >From this I can only assume that there is something weird going on with XP + Samba 2.2.7, as all other factors seem to be the same. Has anyone got any clue whatsover as to what might be happening here?
