[Samba] Windows offline files synchronization failure for mounted Samba drive.

No new information my the last posting.  I do not have nay issues for single
user shares is I use the "force username" option in smb.conf to insure
proper ownership. 

FYI: You can chmod g+s the shared folders to insure new files are created
with the same permissions as the parent folders

Log into the Linux server directly and see who owns the problem files; you
will probably see that another user created the files or that the
permissions are read only.

Hi Pat,

I was wondering whether you have found anything more out about your
problem - as its fairly close to mine and could point me in the right
direction.  

I am only syncing personal areas so all files are owned by the
particular user - it seems to work fine for a while and then they start
getting random permission errors.  I cant work out why?

The problem is with win xp sp2 laptops syncing with samba personal home
shares.  

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks Shaun
