[Samba] Re: Samba 2.2.3 - Unable to replace old file on share

[bvr]

Yes, I have the problem too. 

Overwriting *any* file on a share using windows explorer
results in an error message that the *source* file may be
in use.
However,  the same copy but then from command line (dos)
works perfectly.

I compiled latest samba which runs on redhat 7.2 and a windows 2000 client.

bvr.
