Troubling behavior under Samba 3.0.33: when a certain win2K user opened<br>
an excel file and saved it, it showed to be corrupted on the next open.<br>
If same user simply dragged a file down from the Samba share and dragged<br>
it back, the file had changed (shown by md5sum) even if the size were<br>
the same. I was troubleshooting this when a few hours later, all<br>
authentication and share access hung up. I shelled into the server and<br>
a ps aux would only get so far and hang w/o completing. Top would not<br>
start - no output, just hang. Restarted samba; everything started<br>
working again and the file corruption on share went away (by "went<br>
away", I mean that the files weren't being changed anymore when written<br>
back to the server). What the hey??<br>
<br>
FWIW, the server had been up for 91 days in a 150-200 user office. I<br>
don't think Samba had been restarted in that time.<br>
