[Samba] Samba moves in mysterious ways

[Adam Ellis]

Petter,

Have you checked the permissions on these files to ensure that is not the
problem?  I had to do the following with my create mask, force create mode,
directory mode, and force directory mode to get this to work for me:

[public]
	path = /home/public
	force group = everyone
	writeable = Yes
	create mask = 0666
	force create mode = 0666
	directory mask = 0777
	force directory mode = 0777
	inherit permissions = Yes

AE

Hi all,

	One week ago I set-up an new server using RH 7.2 and Samba
2.2.0.  Everything seems to be working just fine except for one major
problem, describe in the following to example:

	1.  I have a /tmp folder which all users have full access to.  I
filled this folder with documents from their old server (Windows 2000
Server).  All documents can be opened and saved fine with one exception.
If, for instance, a Word document is opened and then saved using Save As
the files becomes corrupt in someway and can not be opened.  They get
the error message as follows:

	Microsoft Word
	The document name or path is not valid.  Try these suggestions.
	* Check the file permissions for the document or drive.
	* Use the File Open dialog box to locate the document.
	(C:\...\Bla Bla Bla...)

 	The exact same thing happens whenever someone attaches a
document to a mail located in their own or the tmp folder.

	I have copied the smb.conf file below with some obvious changes
like IP's and so on.  Please take a look at it and see if there is
something obvious that I am missing here.

Thanks a LOT in advance
