I chased this elusive problem for a year. I'm still running 3.09-2.3 but I 
see it on other versions.

Tell me, do you get this problem when you drag/n/drop a file into a folder 
on the samba share? And can you prevent this problem from occurring by the 
following procedure?

Click in the target window on the samba machine (this is on the XP 
desktop). Press F5 to refresh the view. Wait about a second. Immediately 
start your copy. When I do this, the errors, previously reported to the 
desktop and to my server log, don't occur.

I've been told that it's a WinXP only issue, that it attempts to connect on 
ports 445 and 139 nearly simultaneously, and then proceeds to talk over 
whichever one answers first. I'm told that Win2k clients won't have this 
problem, and Win98 clients don't use port 445 so it doesn't arise there.

Anyone have evidence to the contrary (so far)?

RE: Winbind and email server]

okay, im far from a pam expert, but i don't see any mention of winbind there?

It's my weekend at the moment so i can't get to my test box at work to
show you my pam module using winbind, but maybe you should check out this
page on my website, it's using ldap try and use this and replace any
mention of ldap with winbind

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/35/9/

or

i have a how-to for authenticating against Active directories using LDAP

http://www.yourhowto.org/content/view/34/9/

check it out, i'm sure that that wont need a local users as well, i'll be
back at work on monday and can probably help you more, but give those two
a go, see if anything comes from them

You're right, but time is not always that easy to come by and
smbldap-tools is a real time-saver, being so powerful.

I cannot see the problem here but heared from 2 users of 3.0.21c with 
this problem.

Downloaded a file with 843 MB which reproducable triggered the error by 
one of the users - but not on my system.

We are using the _same_ samba version (built by me) on the same 
distribution:

http://www.eisfair.org/
http://www.pack-eis.de/index.php?p=samba

I'm the maintainer of this samba package and therefore interested in to 
correct this.

The user copies the file with:

- right click to the local file and 'copy'
- right click in the share and 'insert'

Samba perms vs. fs perms

The subject's a little misleading really, but I was looking for some 
clarification of my thoughts...

In Windows, one can use both share permissions and NTFS permissions to 
control access to files. I would normally use share permissions to control a 
connection (allow/deny), and use NTFS to control access. I would never use 
share permissions to control access whilst NTFS was capable of doing it.

Is this relationship the same for Samba permissions and file system 
permissions? Would you ideally use Samba for connection control, and the 
file system for access control?

If I can sneak a related question in here... I want a 'public' share, with 
only the owner able to modify their own files, do I just use the sticky bit 
filesystem attribute on the public shared directory?

Many thanks,
Steve :)
