*** Authentication Certificate *** We are reasonably sure that until recently we could do a "tail -f" on a file on a share from windows mounted on linux 2.4x (samba 2.2+), and processes on windows had no problem writing to that file while we saw the output scroll in the tail.
We suspect some Windows OS patch recently changed this behavior, so that now any windows process fails to write to that file, with a sharing violation error. This happens on XP, 2K, & 2K3 using samba 2.2 or samba 3.0.2. The freeware utility tail for windows does NOT have this problem when it is doing "tail -f" across a share. I have already tried the CIFS back-port for 2.4. In this case, there is no sharing violation, but also "tail -f" no longer works - and does not update the file as it is written to on windows. Pretty much defeats the purpose! Kyle -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
