Sorry, I'm loosing my mind.  We have samba-doc 2.0.7-1 but our actual
samba version is 2.2.3a-13 (which is why our update system reported it
as current.).

We stopped samba and cleaned out /var/run/samba and restarted.  The
oplock_break error messages are gone but my users are saying:

------

Still having intermittent problem with accessing and saving files in the
capacity planning drive.  It's just frustrating to kept on trying to access
and if I'm successful in accessing the file, I'm unable to save the
changes.

I:\planning\Monthly\July2004.xls

Here's the error message:                                                                                                                                                            
                                                                                                                                                                                        
   "Entrance-Interconnect.xls cannot be accessed.  The file maybe                                                                                                                       
   read-only, or you maybe trying to access a read-only location or the                                                                                                                 
   server the document is saved on may not be responding."       

------


/var/log/* looks clean in general and I can't find any errors samba or
system related.  The server which NFS exports this filesystem to the
Samba server (long story) also is clean of errors.


Thoughts?
