After much looking into this I have discovered that it is not a problem with the port as such but is a problem with Samba on FreeBSD as I dowloaded the source independant of the port and tried it. I've tried all sorts of configurations and even tried turning off soft-updates and still the problem keeps recurring. This problem is serious enough that if a fix isn't found soon I'll have to drop freebsd and go back to using Linux. This is a darn shame since I find using freebsd so much less painless to use. Matt After installing Gentoo Linux and then Samba I have discovered that the problem is with Samba and nothing to do with any part of FreeBSD. - Matt I've now figured it out. The Problem appears to be caused by Command Antivirus on Windows 2000. I am running Command Antivirus at work (problem occurs on all servers running samba). But not on my home production system where I'm not running Command Antivirus. See here: http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba-technical/2001-September/031288.html To get around the problem either uninstall command anti-virus (unconfirmed) or put: oplocks = no in smb.conf That fixes the problem. - Matt State Changed From-To: open->closed Submitter reports problem fixed |
If you install the samba port and create a simple share on the freebsd machine all appears ok from the windows side until I try to copy a file. When the file is copied using Windows explorer the dialog +-------------------------------------------------------+ This folder already contains a file named 'label.zip'. Would you like to replace the existing file 0 bytes modified: Today, 25 June 2002, 5:39:07 PM with this one? 1.50 KB modified: Tuesday, 18 June 2002, 3:51:27 PM YES NO +-------------------------------------------------------+ My smb.conf File follows: #=================== Global Settings =========================== [global] debug level = 3 workgroup = NARNIA server string = Samba Server netbios name = POGO hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127. log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 security = user encrypt passwords = yes local master = yes domain master = yes os level = 33 #===================== Share Definitions ======================= [data] comment = Data share path = /data writeable = yes write list = @staff inherit permissions = yes The data directory has the following permissions set. bash-2.05a$ ls -ld /data drwxrwxrwx 9 root staff 512 Jun 25 17:41 /data bash-2.05a$ On further investigation it appears as though Samba creates the file before Windows 2000 has checked if it exists. This might be a problem in Win2K. It seems to create a 0 length file before popping up the message box. This does not occur in WinNT 4.0(SP6a). Is this a bug in Samba or the Port?
