No confirmation over here, havn't had a chance to compile a new copy - rolled back to 3.0.8 for the time being it's been less buggy but still have occasional file(s) locking up.
A little unclear here, do I need to add a patch to 3.0.13 before compiling, or simply add 'dos filetime = yes' to the configuration? Lastly, does it matter if I'm not using ACL's? Just using plain old UNIX permissions (750/660 dir/file) and the force-group parameter for most shares - which works quite well thus far. -- Nathan Vidican [EMAIL PROTECTED] Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Urs Rau Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2005 5:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Samba] Re: Problems with Excel & MS Word files (still) Jeremy or Nathan, Jeremy Allison wrote: > Ok, I have a working theory for this.

Has this been confirmed, as fixing it? I am rolling a 3.0.13 maintenance release and it would be nice to clear this excel ACL bug. What is the bugzilla entry for this bug, so I can follow it?
