1. here are the ethereal-files.
I think the names are kind of self-explanatory, but anyway i will explain it shortly:

The following files were recorded from a Windows-XP-Client, who was not able to delete a directory on the Samba-Share on the Server 172.20.6.252:
060502_wrong_working_pc.log
bad_pc_with_a_file_in_the_directory.log
In the second log i additionaly put a file into the directory, which should be removed.

The following file was recorded from a Windows-XP-Client, who was able to delete a directory on the Samba-Share on the Server 172.20.6.252:
060502_correct_working_pc.log

I additionaly made a new file today, which is recorded from a "not working" windows client accessing a Test-"Windows Share", where directory removing still worked well.
infected_pc_accessing_windows_share.log

In english this means
"File or Directory not found."

First of all, there are no roaming profiles here, but nevertheless i gave it a try, but this didn't help. Today i have a new client, who behaves like that, but for example my own PC never showed this behaviour and believe me in the last days i tried very much to delete directories ;).

By the way:
I have found some other users in the net, who seem to have a similar problem.

I also found some interesting reports, talking about fam:

Maybe the bahaviour of windows is sometimes similar with GUI-Finux-Filemanagers using fam (whatever fam exactly does).


Always wondering about the spirit of computers and there operating systems ;),

Hi,

its me again. I have to post an addition to my problem described below.

Yesterday my error occured again on the same client, who had this problem last time. I took the chance to do some network sniffing and compared the traffic from the sometimes bad working client to a good working client. The interesting fact about this is now, that windows sends two different types of delete requests ("Delete Directory Request (0x01)" and "SET_FILE_INFO") First of all here are the relevant captured packets from a well working connection:

Don't send text versions of network traces - they aren't much
use in debugging. Can you send in the actual ethereal trace files
please ?
