Back Hi Cris,
we had similar Problems using Redhat 7 and XSI 3.0 - but Softimage knows about this problems. So we upgraded on Redhat 8 and the problems were fixed. We are using Windows 2K/Windows XP Pro and Irix without having any problems. Maybe you have wrong settings in your smb.conf.
Sebastian
We are using samba 2.x

Anyone using WinXP as a workstation and a Linux server? We are having a very serious and confusing issue regarding file permissions on the Linux server. We are running WinXP Pro on our workstations and Linux Red Hat v3 on our server. This version of Red Hat is running Samba v3 which we believe is the culprit. Basically, we have set full r/rw permissions to everything in this server but for some reason, some applications including XSI can not save or alter files on this drive. In XSI, I can create a project but I can not save scenes to or remove the project. Examining the project folder properties in the windows explorer reveals that the project folders are set to "read only". This would appear to be the problem except that I can not set the folder to "not" be "read only" in windows. Another strange thing is that the folder properties under Win2K (not XP) do NOT say "read only". Photoshop can not save files to this folder either. We've tried multiple versions of XSI including EXP which produce the same results. We have the folks behind Red Hat looking into it since it does appear to be something wrong with Red Hat or Samba but we're not sure. I basically just wanted to see if anyone else was running a similar config and if they had the same problems. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
