MS office files open in read only mode from samba share
Hello Experts!
I can not edit my own .ppt file from samba share. Current desktop OS is windows 7. Samba server having RHEL 5 with following samba packages installed. Code:
libsmbclient0-3.5.6-43.el5 Could you please someone suggest on it. Regards, Toushi |
Hello,
How exactly are you mounting your share, and what does your config file look like on the server? This definitely sounds like a permissions issue. Cheers, Josh |
Hello Josh!
Thanks for reply. This definitely sounds like a permissions issue? Following is file permission. This file is located in my home directory # Quote:
How exactly are you mounting your share? Ans:-From Windows7->Mycomputer->map network drive (GUI) what does your config file look like on the server? Ans:- About samba config file it work for other users except few users facing this kind of issue. Kindly suggest on it. |
Hmm, ok. Can you post your smb.conf then? And also, just to finally rule out file permissions, can you chmod that file to 666 temporarily and try it?
Thanks, Josh |
I had such a problem in the past, it had something to do with a "file-locking" option in samba (used to prevent editing from multiple users). Are you opening them with Office 2007?
