To achieve this, special configuration have been done in the samba server, basically: [global] ... kernel oplocks = no [datos] comment = Directorio datos NETPLC/INTRANSYS path = /datos read only = No browseable = yes guest ok = no printable = no create mask = 0770 #Esta es una máscara - Quita los permisos de o+rwx, pero no añade #Permisos a user ni group directory mask = 2770 #Análogo a create mask pero para directorios oplocks = yes share modes = yes locking = yes strict locking = no blocking locks = no With this server's configuration, after installing smbfs package in the client (!!! important, don't know why, else it does not work), I am able to mount my server's share with: $ sudo mount -t cifs //espada.netplc.com/datos /home/jferrando/cespada -o user=jordi,iocharset=utf8 And openoffice can read and write files, even locking happens when a file is opened from my linux desktop and some Windows machine at the same time. In the windows machine it opens the file as read-only, and in the Linux desktop I get one I/O error (at least I can't overrite my coleague's opened files!). I have one "annoying" feature now, tough: I have file and directory creation masks to allow a security policy based on groups at the SAMBA server (Kubuntu 6.06 LTS), but when I try to copy and paste files with konqueror, I always get an annoying message: No se pudieron cambiar los permisos de /home/jferrando/cespada/netplc/users/jferrando/temp/manolo.pdf Means "Could no change the permissios of the file ...". Any idea? ... time to get Linux desktop usable is coming closer ... <div class="moz-signature">-- <meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; "> <title></title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 2.0 (Win32)"> <meta name="CREATED" content="20040701;16532145"> <meta name="CHANGED" content="20040701;16593493"> Jordi Ferrando Fabra Director Técnico NETPLC Camino Viejo Castellón-Onda SN 12540 Vila-real (Castellón) España Tlf: +34 964 506174 Fax: +34 964 506173 <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.netplc.com">www.netplc.com</a> </div> </body> </html>
