I'm having a very strange problem with Samba and Win2K. I did a
search in the archives and there was something about desktop.ini but
that wasn't it.
I'll explain in 2 parts, the problem and then I'll attach the [homes]
section of my smb.conf
I can see user's files on the Linux box (RedHat 7.3) under
/home/user/*
The user can open up M$ word and save a file to
\\server\$user\this_is_a_word_doc.doc. For the sake of argument, lets
call this file Procedures.doc. When the user gets out of word and and
open it up again try's "File | Open" and does a browse for the file
(instead of the bottom where you get the most recent opened files)
the file is not there. When I log onto the Linux box and do an
'ls -l', the file is certainly there. When the user opens it up from
the bottom of "File | Recent-file-list-on-the-bottom-of-pull-down-menu,
the file opens up. What's even more strange is that everything after
the letter "P" does not show up. So if the user saves a file called
"Everything.doc", I can see that in the browser window (Explorer
browser and also in File | open browser). Very strange.
Here's the smb.conf file
