I have had similar issues when connecting via a wireless lan.
When looking in SWAT status, the file does not show up as in use.
If this is the situation here:
I have found that it is NOT a server issue, but a client issue.
i.e. I can delete the file if I try it from a different client. I can also =
delete the file if I reboot the original client.
I have had this same issue with NT servers as well as Samba servers.
I don't think this has anything to do with Samba and I doubt if changes to the =
smb.conf file will have any effect.
