[Samba] Zero byte files

[Julian Pilfold-Bagwell]

Hi all,

I have a Centos 6 box running samba-3.6.9 and I have a problem with 
files turning to 0 bytes after being edited and saved. One of the users 
reported that he changed the name of two files and both ended up sized 0 
bytes and opening them revealed them to be empty.  Has anyone had a 
similar problem?  I've been looking for 3 days and there's obvious 
pattern to the events occurring.

The box authenticates against a server 2008R2 DC and the config file is 
shown below:


[global]
netbios name = FILESERVER1
workgroup = BGS
realm = BORDENGRAMMAR.LDM
security = ads
idmap uid = 10000-50000
idmap gid = 10000-50000
max open files = 100000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind nested groups = yes
winbind refresh tickets = yes
winbind use default domain = no
client use spnego = yes
client ntlmv2 auth = no
encrypt passwords = yes
restrict anonymous = 2
log level = 0

[Staff]
path = /staff
comment = Staff Data Directory
browseable = yes
writable = yes
# Valid Users = @Staff
hide files = /desktop.ini/RECYCLER/Thumbs.db/


[Pupils]
path = /pupils
comment = Pupil Data Directory
browseable = yes
writable = yes
hide files = /desktop.ini/RECYCLER/Thumbs.db/

[scripts]
path = /scripts/logons
browseable = yes
writable = yes
hide files = /desktop.ini/RECYCLER/Thumbs.db/


Thanks,

Julian
