I'm getting the read-only errors in MS Word 2003, and I'm using Symantec
Endpoint Protection 11 for anti-virus. One of my techs in his notes has
reports of read-only errors going back to January 4, 2008. Samba 3.0.28
was released on Dec 10, 2007, and I would of upgraded to it soon after,
so I think a code change in the release of samba 3.0.28 broke
something. we've noticed it happens when you open a file, and click
save, it saves fine, and when youc lick on save again, that is when it
goes read only. http://www.lancs.ac.uk/iss/windows/word-readonly.htm
says that it is because windows desktop search 3.01 will index the file
after saving it and that makes the computer set it as read only. i
uninstalled windows desktop search 3.01 but that didn't help.

Hi,
yeah, meant 3.0.x, sorry about the.
this is how my filesystem is setup.
( On server1 )
sambaserver = /home/samba/datadir/ ( PDC + ACL + ea ) Kernel 2.6.18-4 (
debian )
Datadir is shared, this is my global data folder for users.
Sambausers /users/ The users personal folder
nfslinked /home/users/userfolder/"symlinked folder to a
XXXX1/subfolder" ( this folder comes from sco unix 5.0.7 NFS V2 )
nfsmount /home/nfsmount/XXXXX1 nfs mounted folder, shared in
sambaserver als XXXX1 ( i have 3 of these folders ) ( chmod 777 )
nfslinked2 /home/nfsmount/XXXXX2 nfsmounted folder on debian etch,
linked in "Datadir" as temp folder "chmod 777" is used.
( UNIX )
mounted the user home dir from debian in /u/
dont ask why but im have lots of cross server scripts running here.
And still expanding..
Also.
i created 1 "nfs user" on the debian server, i gave these the same UID/GID
as on my unix server
saved problems with rights.
in samba i forced these users so these are always the unix user.
this is not done in the nfslinked folders. these are users personal folders.
on my WXP sp3 im running Mcafee 8.5 Enterprise Patch 5.
Are you aware it could also be a problem in the virusscanner your using?
Hope this info helps a bit.

Hi,
Im running XP SP3 here on samba 2.0.24 and 2.0.28 and no
problems here.
2.0.xx I hope this is a typo and 3.0.xx is meant?
It works with local filesystems. I does not work with NFS-mounted
filesystem.

I need to agree (to a certain degree) to L.P.H. van Belles mail. I
tested it with a current WinXP SP3 and all other security
Patches with a
fairly old Samba (3.0.14a, Debian sarge, oldstable, will be upgraded in
the maybe not so near future though *g*) with some via samba shared nfs
exports. But here are symbolic links used to link to the files on the
nfs export:
/mnt/nfs #the mounted nfs export
/pub/samba #the samba share
/pub/samba/old_data #a symbolic link
/mnt/nfs/data #the target of the link above
So after all this may be the difference AND a workaround for Dirks
problem. I did check the samba configuration, posix locking is not set,
default is used (maybe the default changed?).
regards
Michael
