Publisher and 2.0.4b

[Norman Weathers]

Hello.

I was just wondering if anyone has had any problems using Publisher
97 and samba before?  I am using samba 2.0.4b with the unsupported
PDC code (yeah, I know, I should be running one of the CVS HEAD 
branch stuff, but I am daring <grin>), and just recently had a 
problem with Publisher.  It would take forever to copy from the 
temp file that it created (in the public directory network share,
no doubt <arrgghh>) to the public share where it was supposed to be
saved (a subdirectory of the public directory).  Actually, it failed
the copy stating that there was a network redirector timeout, and then
produced a nice screen saying that the disk was full (bunch of bull
since there was over 70 M available on the quota, and the file, when
finished, is only 600 K.  Not to mention, the person who owns the 
actual file has an unrestricted quota, so they can't be running out of
disk space, even when another person is updating that file... ie, not
the original owner).  I was just wondering if this was another 
of Micro$ofts ways of trying to keep its market share, a "known bug",
or something else. 

My system is a RedHat Linux 6.0 running kernel 2.2.10 (lean compiled 
kernel)on a Gateway 2000 PII 266 with 64 M Ram.  There is 2 Gig 
available in the pub directory.

Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions would be appreciated.  My
smb.conf file is attatched.

Thanks!
