[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#428733: samba keeps exe-files locked?

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Arno van Amersfoort (a.c.j.van.amersfoort at eld.physics.leidenuniv.nl):

Could you please post your smb.conf file (before you tried tweaking
it), include the relevant share settings?

A level 10 debug log of the first file opening *and* further attempts
by Window clients would help, too.

Also, does it happen for any EXE file launched from a Windows client,
or only for that registry manipulation utility which you apparently
use from the users' logon script?
