Hi Charles,
As you can see in my earlier post, my problem may be a bit similar.
Mine is samba on zfs with 100+ users. I put all users in the same
group as 2ndary member (usermod -G groupname username).
I've setup LDAP authentication on the system.
The samba shares is 2770 where every users in the group have rwx access.
IT WORKS, but after a while some users are reporting they can only
READ, not WRITE.
Samba log shows this error: NT_NAME_COLLISION.......
I've googled, ask everywhere.. seen similar things, but....
So no solution, luckily I found a workaround. Creating a cronjob to
restart Samba once a day seems to eliminate the problem.
