[Samba] Problems with Word 200 and Samba 2.2.6

[Marian Mlcoch, Ing]

Hi
i read your problem and i suggest you to verify user , owner and group chmod
on directory with docs and on user that modified this word file.
When you create new file word saves ~.tmp on your local harddisk temp
directory and saves it to share with save command and new name.
Afther when you edit then ~... file is created on share but samba can
vetoing ~ char in name by settings veto or bad codepage.
Check your vetofiles settings on samba.
Bye.
