[Samba] Samba3.0.2a, MS Office (Excel), Save problem.

[Pirkka Luukkonen]

Hi!

 I had the same problem with wxp_sp1+officexp, but it went away after
patching with hotfixes. Check for DENY_WRITE or so from smbstatus -L. These
patches will be included in the next xp service pack to be released on the
first half of 2004.
