Hi 

Downloaded from cvs 22 Mar 2002  6pm (ish) still receive the share violation 
when trying to rename an mgeg file.  

Make bombed out with --with-smbmount removed that and all went well.

Your recycle vfs works well.

[shr]
	comment = World Writable
	path = /shr
	read only = No
	guest ok = Yes
	create mask = 0777
	vfs object = /usr/local/samba/lib/recycle.so
            vfs options = recycle=.recycle

No it's not and I think I've finally fixed it correctly
in the latest SAMBA_2_2 CVS and HEAD. If people would like
to check out either branch and test it I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
