Hi,

Is there a locking problem with version 3.0.2a? We have been running this
version over the past several weeks with no problems, but over the past few
days have been experiencing horrendous apparently random problems with
Outlook, Printing and Excel. 

Outlook fails with the error "folder being modified by another workstation"
Excel gives "disk full" errors
Printing stops working.

The reason I think it may be a locking problem is because printing started
working when the .tdb files were removed from
/usr/local/samba/var/locks/printing. 

I am also getting errors like the following in the log file which may or may
not be relevant

[2004/07/22 10:59:07, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(36)
  ===============================================================
[2004/07/22 10:59:07, 0] lib/fault.c:fault_report(37)
  INTERNAL ERROR: Signal 6 in pid 19546 (3.0.2a)
  Please read the appendix Bugs of the Samba HOWTO collection

  ===============================================================
[2004/07/22 10:59:07, 0] lib/util.c:smb_panic(1400)

Samba is running on Solaris v9 4/04.

Thanks in advance for any help

David
