CIFS/9000 A.01.05 (Samba 2.0.7) + Windows 2000 + Netscape 4.78

[Bernd Nies]

Hi,

While migrating from Windoze NT4 to Windoze 2000 we discovered a
strange bug. 

We are running CIFS/9000 (HP's Samba 2.0.7 implementation)
on HP-UX 11.00 which is our fileserver for home directories.
Windows 2000 clients can connect to that Samba share without
problems so far. But when closing Netscape 4.78 the error message
"Error saving bookmarks file" appears. But the bookmarks file is
written.

This problem does not occur when I try the same with a Samba 2.0.10
or 2.0.5 share on Linux or NT native share or when I connect from a
Windoze NT4 PC.

I monitored the file access with Filemon 4.33 from sysinternals.org
which tells me:

426	01:12:26	netscape.exe:440	IRP_MJ_QUERY_INFORMATION	U:\winnt\netscape\bookmark.htm	SUCCESS	FileBasicInformation	
427	01:12:26	netscape.exe:440	IRP_MJ_QUERY_SECURITY	U:\winnt\netscape\bookmark.htm	BUFFER OVERFLOW		
428	01:12:26	netscape.exe:440	IRP_MJ_QUERY_SECURITY	U:\winnt\netscape\bookmark.htm	SUCCESS		
429	01:12:26	netscape.exe:440	IRP_MJ_SET_SECURITY	U:\winnt\netscape\bookmark.htm	ACCESS DENIED		

The only error line in samba logfile I could find:

[2001/09/21 10:18:34, 3, effective(496, 80), real(0, 0)] smbd/error.c:(126)
  32 bit error packet at line 83 cmd=160 (SMBnttrans) eclass=c0000023 [Error: Unknown error (35,49152)]

Any other who discovered this problem? Maybe it helps when I update
the CIFS/9000 version.

Regards,
Bernd
