Hi Robin,
Don't know WHY this is happening, but it appears to have to do with the mp3
file type; I can duplicate this if I create a simple .txt file, and rename
it
to something.mp3; when it's a .txt file, right clicking does NOT lock it,
but as soon as I rename it to .mp3, then I get the behavior you describe.
I suspect this is because of the additional options you see that Microsoft
is presenting because its an mp3 file (like 'play', etc.).
However, I AM able to rename it without any problem; try something for me;
go into that same directory where the .mp3 file is, and create a .txt file;
now check you unix permissions - is the ownership and group and permissions
what you expect? I am wondering if your unix umask may be interfering with
the way the files are getting created/moved. you might need FORCE create
mode
instead of just create mode...
Hope this helps,
Don

Subject: file locking
i have having the most annoying file locking problems given the following
setup:
server: IRIX 6.5.11 + samba-2.0.7 irix binary (from samba website)
client: win2k
when on the client, simply right-clicking on the file causes samba to lock
it, thus making it impossible to rename/move that file. all file permissions
seem correct.
reset directory/file permissions to be sure this is accurate:
find /export/fs2/mp3 -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;
find /export/fs2/mp3 -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
database 22# pwd
/export/fs2/mp3/Pop/U2
database 23# ls -ald .
drwxrwsr-x 5 service noc 4096 Mar 12 13:25 .
database 24# ls -ald U2-Summer.Rain.mp3
-rw-rw-r-- 1 service noc 5962315 Oct 13 09:02 U2-Summer.Rain.mp3
looks great so start up samba:
database 25# /etc/init.d/samba start
see what smbstatus has to say:
database 26# /usr/samba/bin/smbstatus
Samba version 2.0.7
Service uid gid pid machine
----------------------------------------------
No locked files
go over to win2k and right click on a file and check smbstatus again:
database 27# /usr/samba/bin/smbstatus
Samba version 2.0.7
Service uid gid pid machine
----------------------------------------------
MP3 service noc 31988 robin (10.10.100.126) Thu Mar 15
11:09:23 2001
Locked files:
Pid DenyMode R/W Oplock Name
--------------------------------------------------
31988 DENY_WRITE RDONLY EXCLUSIVE+BATCH
/export/fs2/mp3/Pop/U2/U2-Always.mp3 Thu Mar 15 11:09:31 2001
so just for kicks see if we can rename that file in win2k:
"cannot rename U2-Always: access is denied. make sure that
the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file
is not currently in use"
i've been staring at this for days and have no idea as to
what the hell is going on. any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
here's my smb.conf stuff:
[MP3]
comment = MP3
path = /export/fs2/mp3
guest ok = no
browseable = no
writable = yes
write list = @noc
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 2775
force user = service
force group = noc
