... does not work.
I use the W2k functionality "synchronize" on my laptop to have up2date synchronized copies of my files both at the laptop and the file server.
The file server is a P 200 MHz running RH Linux 9.
When on-line the synchronization of files works, except for my swedish letters "���". However when off-line working with my files, then reconnecting to the network and issuing a synchronization it fails. The updating of the files on the server fails.
Am I doing something wrong here or is the SMB protocol used by samba not up2date to support this W2k functionality?
My samba version is 3.0.0-2
Did you ever find a solution to the problem of synchronization not working?
I'm having the same problem here, with w2k clients and a server running redhat 9 and rh's samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0.
The file system is ext3.
From the logfile, it looks like W2K is creating a temporary file for the file being synchronized, and it tries to set some permissions for this file. This fails. Snip from the logfile:
Is there any solution to this problem that doesn't involve changing the file system or running samba-3 (we are not quite ready for this yet)?
Hm, installing samba-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm from the RedHat 7.3 updates on a RedHat 9 machine seems to fix this problem.
- I just wonder if this would break something else, before I put this on our production server...
