Post Fun with Samba and file permissions


Hi all, maybe you can help me out here.

I just set up another Linux server using Slack 9.1 (10.0 was released 3 days after I built my system =P). I've configured Samba to run as a file server for my other 2 win2k boxes. Everything seemed fine for a while, until I tried to put files on the server. I can map my home dir just fine (as can my wife, the other user) and I can read the files use them. However, when I try to write anything to the shared drive, it tells my the "source file is already in use". It's not a problem with the win2k machines as I can move the files all over my hard drive just fine. When I try to put them on the share (Linux machine) from either machine using either account, I get the error. I can also create and move files from the Linux machine locally (i.e. not over the network) Is there some overarching win2k/Samba setting I'm missing? Below is my .conf file for the homes section (it's the only share I have going).

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes


Thanks for the help,
Atrivis

What permissions are the files created with? You may need 'create mask' or 'directory mask' set.
