But today we had the chance to test the samba version with the "deferred open" patch included (Samba 3.0.5pre2-SVN-build-1011) and the results show, that this version does _not_ solve the problem: the "File already in use" error messages still occur when users are opening their Excel files :-( But we did another test and we now know it has something to do with the version of MS Office: the error only occurs with (old) Excel from Office97, it does not occur with Excel from Office2003! I can't explain what is going on here, but maybe that's a hint for others having the same problem As the move to the new Office version is planned anyway, the significance of this problem now is much lower and I'm about to close this issue for now (this is not to say that I'm not open to try any new idea on this issue... ;-) Anyway, many thanks for your support! - - andreas PS: I did lots of testing with Samba 3.0.5pre2-SVN-build-1011 on our internal test server and I found not a single problem with this version. I had it running on a Linux-2.4.26 server as PDC with LDAPSAM backend and more than 1000 user accounts, OpenLDAP master/slave replication and failover and even had it running in an active/hot standby cluster configuration with Heartbeat and DRBD storage - all tests passed, I found no problem whatsoever.
