Re: [Samba] Win2k, Domain logon, permissions

brock,
i did talk with my partner:
he had a view issues, in which file access did strange things with file 
access. - *but on a local installation too*.

can u test a clean local installation on a w2k too?

autocad opens files across different threats. - maybe one of the arx is 
to slow with closing or opens the file in a mode, that w2k interpretes 
as 'exclusive'?. (maybe there's a switch in your options.

as far as i see now, u *must* use oplocks. - many threats opens one file 
at the same time.

please try:
http://usa.autodesk.com/
support knowledgebase - i've found a view issues, but the best is, to 
search with the command name and the exact error message. (i did not 
find this in your posting)

try to set temp files to local hdd.

if u find something and let me know.
but at this time i don't think, that it's a network issue.

 brock,

 access. - *but on a local installation too*.

This can be the case, for sure!  However, I have that all cleaned up.
The project works fine except for this single command - which does work
properly if the project folders are copied to and run from the local
drive.  Samba has always been transparent for us... No Word/Excel
issues, AutoCAD is fine too - except for this command!

 can u test a clean local installation on a w2k too?

This is a clean install of Land3 (we only just received the install CD's
and haven't made the full transition from Land2i yet).  I'm going to
create a testing samba share to deal with this... Too much data to be
playing with on the real server!
 
 autocad opens files across different threats. - maybe one of 
 the arx is 
 to slow with closing or opens the file in a mode, that w2k 
 interpretes

This is along the lines of my thinking.  It's like AutoCAD is just
misconfigured on this one routine. The options for Land are minimal in
this area.  I can't find a setting for placement of this temporary file
- neither can my supplier.  The other temp settings don't seem to apply
to this routine.

 as far as i see now, u *must* use oplocks. - many threats 
 opens one file 
 at the same time.

I agree.  I removed the setting you suggested earlier once I knew it
didn't work.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt ;-)

I will keep you apprised.  I think there is a hint in the fact that I
can kill the samba daemons, immediately restart and the command works
properly.  But I do get an error when I try to save the drawing!

Thanks!

Brock

Tried all three of these settings.  Was forced to set 'level2 oplocks'
to 'no' as well, as testparm flagged this as being required.  However,
no joy from any or all of these settings :-(

 LanDevelopment Desktop seems to use more threads, and one 
 does not know, 
 what the other does. ('cause, there's running very much arx 
 applications.) did u look to the autodesk hompage too? (maybe 
 thats an issue, which 
 appears on w2k servers too...)

The first time I tried for a response on this problem from the list, I
got a single reply that suggested the problem *can* occur on w2k servers
also. 

  As can be seen with the share definition above, I did try changing 
  from my original owner/group setting of 'nobody, nobody' to 
 the real 
  owner and the 'autocad' group.  My logic was that perhaps AutoCAD 
  wanted to
 
 i don't think, that it's a permission problem, we're using AutoCAD,

Well, this is the only problem I have found...that's why I think it's an
AutoDesk problem.  However, since there are so many end users running
w2k, there must be a solution.  It doesn't show up in the knowledge base
at AutoCAD however.
 
  The only thing I stumbled upon that might help someone suggest a 
  solution was that killing and restarting the samba daemons 
 after the 
  win2k box had opened the main drawing file will allow the 
 command to 
  complete!  The main drawing throws an error when you next 
 try to save
 
 please report if/which switches had sucess.

Any other suggestions?  I wonder if the routine has been configured
incorrectly to be much more specific about the ownership of the file
that it wants to read.  But why it will work if the file exists on the
server already I can't get my head around!!
